The ugly stage! The beginning of my 100 day creative challenge project, which starts today and will end Sept 11, 2023. Don't worry, I won't bore you with images or videos or anything. But it is going to take quite a bit of time so if I'm extra quiet, that's why. I'm sure many of you will be thankful for that, LOL. I figure this is a great way to spend these super hot summer days. The series is titled "Nesting Season, 100 Days of Baby Birds", and it will have it's own category in my shop here. I will be putting each one up in my gallery as soon as I finish. So if you visit my gallery, you'll see them as I do them. In the meantime, I hope you all have a great summer and take on some creative challenges of your own!

You all are invited to watch me paint my newest art over on Youtube! I hope you enjoy it!

I've decided to start videoing some of my painting sessions. This is my first demo where you can watch me paint a large acrylic painting titled "Marshland Symphony". I hope you enjoy it!

In this new blog post, see photos and learn the best time to visit Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee for bald eagle activity!

New blog post! There's a first for everything...check out my gallery of red tailed hawk photos and what he captured!

In my new blog post, I show you the horrible photo I started with before creating this art "Watching Snow Fall". Enjoy!

I'm excited to announce I've released my first course on Skillshare this month. How to Paint Photos in Procreate: A Sweet Goldfinch is now available to watch for Skillshare members.

About this class: In this class we will be taking a cute, but somewhat bland songbird photo, and we will paint the photo into a vibrant and colorful work of unique bird art using Procreate on the iPad. And we will do it all using just one brush, which I have provided to you in the class resources. You can choose to paint my Goldfinch photo I've provided you with, or you can choose to paint one of your own favorite bird photos if you desire.

I hope you enjoy it!
