Lipking and Pro

I'm a huge fan of painters Jeremy Lipking and Tony Pro. Both work in oil and are modern masters. They are also funny guys and put together this hilarious video, http://lipking.blip.tv/. It's a must watch for any plein air painter!

Today's Painting

A hillside of wild flowers peaking through the tall grass...

Nests

Just finished a new series of little 5" x 5" nests...robin eggs, red-tailed hawk eggs, golden eagle eggs, great blue heron eggs...

Spring Approaches

My crocuses are blooming, the daffodils have sprouted, and the pansies are in full bloom...so I painted this little oil painting and am calling it Spring Approaches.

"If one really loves nature, one can find beauty everywhere."
~ Vincent van Gogh
