Fox pup painting detail

I finally got around to getting a high-res, high quality image of the fox-in-the-tree-stump-den painting. (Still trying to think of a good title for this one. Any suggestions?)
If you read my previous post about this painting you'll know it was the first piece I've ever done with only the 3 primaries (and white), and how that turned out to give the painting some really wonderful grays and browns. Unfortunately, the first images I posted did not do it justice (now replaced). Here are some better images, showing the rich color variations in what's basically a plain brown tree stump.



Below is a closeup of the detail of the tree stump near the top of the image. At first what looks like a gray/brown tree turns out to be full of wonderful blues, greens, purples, oranges, and yellows. I just love it!

New Licensing Deal!

My artwork is now available as a jigsaw puzzle! I'm really happy to have signed a deal with Buffalo Games along side such notable artists as Darrell Bush, Lesley Harrison, and The Hautman Brothers.
Well, it's actually not that new. I'm just a little behind updating my blog and web site. I actually signed the deal at the end of last year. I think the puzzles became available around March. Anyway, it's here now, and I look forward to creating some more images for them in the future.
