I was just thinking about how many people enjoy beautiful artwork but don't have the money or wall space to buy original paintings or even prints. There's only so much space on your walls. But there are so many ways to enjoy art without owning an original painting or fine art print, from calendars to coffee mugs. Practically everyone drinks coffee or tea, or at least keeps coffee mugs on hand for guests who do. Who doesn't own a coffee mug, after all? So why have a plain black or white mug when you could use that mug as a canvas to display some artwork?
Many people are already starting their Christmas shopping. Personalized coffee mugs are just the right size and price for stocking stuffers. So, for the animal lovers you know, how about a coffee mug featuring artwork with their favorite animal, personalized with their name, or the name of an event or date of special meaning? Mugs for dog lovers, cat lovers, horse lovers, bird lovers, duck hunters, deer hunters, and more.
A blog about animals including wildlife, horses, dogs, cats, and other domestic animals, as well as the artwork I create from them.

New iPhone 7 Cases Now Available on Pixels
Pixels.com, aka Fine Art America (FAA does not have as many products as Pixels, however), has updated their phone cases and now carries iPhone 7 and 7 Plus cases. All my artwork that was available on iPhone 6 cases has now been updated to be available on the 7s as well. I have sorted my Pixels store into categories by subjects. I have Birds, Deer, Wild Cats, Wild Dogs, Horses, other Domestic Animals, and a misc other wildlife category to make it easier for you to find the products in the subjects you like best.
I have been doing a lot of bird paintings over the past couple years so the Birds category is my biggest now with about 70 images to choose from. It has a wide variety of bird species, mostly songbirds like bluebirds, chickadees, cardinals, and goldfinches, but also hummingbirds, ducks, a crow, a pileated woodpecker, and a bald eagle. Here are a couple samples from the Birds category.
Next most popular subject is Horses. There are several breeds to choose from including Quarter Horses, Morgan, Friesian, and some warmbloods such as the Hanoverian. All come in full color versions but I've also made a few versions in sepia to give an aged photo effect. This works particularly nice for the Western Quarter Horse and Native American Pinto War Horse images. Here they are, the quarter horse in full color, and the pinto in sepia.
In the Deer section I have both mule deer and whitetail deer to choose from. These make great gifts for the outdoorsman or deer hunter you know.
These are not limited to iPhone 7 cases. On each page there is a drop-down menu on the right where you can choose from new or older iPhone cases, as well as Galaxy cases. Check out all the iPhone 7 cases by category here:
Phone cases featuring bird paintings
Phone cases featuring deer art
Cases featuring domestic animals
Phone cases with horse paintings
Cases with wild dogs such as wolves and foxes
Cases with wild cats like tigers and leopards

Miniature Art Show at Parklane Gallery
Every year the Parklane Gallery in Kirkland, WA hosts its Annual Miniature Show in May featuring miniature paintings and sculptures from artists all over the country. The show includes artwork from some well-known miniature painters such as Linda Rossin, Beverly Abbott and Wes & Rachelle Siegrist. The show will be from April 29th to June 1, 2014. There will be an artist reception on May 9th from 6:00-8:00PM and usually includes music and refreshments.
I'll have a number of small artworks on display in the gallery during the show, sizes 4"x6", 5"x7", and 6"x6", all oil paintings. Here's a preview of what I'll have there.
All these mini paintings are for sale and available for purchase through the gallery or directly from me. If you are in the area I invite you to visit the gallery and view these, and other miniature artworks, in person. Photos online never do them justice. If you are in the area, try to make it to the artist reception on May 9th, too. I'll be there, along with many other artists, and we'd love to meet you and chat about art together!
If you're not in the area, or can't make it to the gallery, and would be interested in purchasing one of these paintings, either the gallery or I can ship the paintings anywhere within the US and Canada. So don't hesitate to contact me or the gallery if you're interested. Of course, we'd rather see you in person, so I hope you can make it!

White Tiger Jewelry
I've added some new jewelry selections to the Tigers section of my Zazzle store featuring my painting of a white tiger. His crystal blue eyes are perfect for a jewelry setting. :)
I have a lot of other sections up as well featuring wolves, eagles and more. Not just jewelry either. There are t-shirts, coffee mugs, and even smart phone cases all featuring wildlife art. Many items that would make great gifts for the animal lover in your life!
You can visit my shop here or click one of the links to the right.

Zion Cougar Painting - Finished!
This piece actually started out being just a cougar in a Zion National Park setting. But
the expression on the cat's face made me feel he was looking around
for a sound he heard. So I got the idea to add a rabbit that might have
been making the sound the cougar's looking for. Then, having the rabbit
hiding from the cougar made me think about what life must be like if
you're a rabbit, with an animal around every corner ready to eat you!
So I added other predators to the scene that might also want to make a
tasty snack of the little bunny.
I think I'll call it "Don't Move!" because if the rabbit moves out of his hiding place he might become lunch! :)
Besides the cougar, can you find and name 6 other animals in the scene? (Click the image to see a larger version)

Zion National Park Cougar Scene - WIP
I'm still here and still painting! I've put my 60-paintings-for-under-$60 project on pause for a bit so finish up a larger and more detailed piece. There are some upcoming events I want to have it ready for and I need to get it done this week so I haven't had time for the mini paintings lately.
Here's a picture of it in progress. It's a scene of a cougar in Zion National Park as you can probably tell by the distinctive and odd shaped rocks and hills that are unique to Zion.
I should have this finished up in another day or two and will post the finished image shortly after.

Miniature Painting - No 20 - Baby Bobcat
This little cutie was painted from a photo I took at the Triple D Game Farm in Kalispell, Montana a few years ago. He was just so adorable, running around in the morning sun, exploring his surroundings and play-hunting. Here he had been running and playing and jumped up on top of a log to pause for a moment and look at his surroundings. Then off in a flash he leapt off the log and was dashing around playing again. So much fun to watch!

Miniature Painting - No 9 - African Lion
Miniature painting No 9, a majestic black-maned African lion. This is a little unusual for me since I rarely paint African wildlife. But what's not to love about the King of the Jungle? Or, that really should be 'King of the Savannah"!

Miniature Painting - Painting No 5 - Cougar
Miniature painting number 5, a cougar (or puma or mountain lion, if you prefer) looking over a cliff.
This is probably my first cougar painting. I've painted other big cats before, a few tigers, and a couple African lions. But I don't think I've done a mountain lion before. That's one nice thing about doing all these little mini paintings. Because I can do one in a day I get to do a lot more paintings and paint a lot more subjects. When I'm done with my 60 paintings I'll have a better idea of which subjects are more fun to do and will probably do a few larger ones of those subjects.
The reference photo for this painting was taken at the Triple D Game farm in Kalispell, MT when I took a wildlife photography workshop there a couple years ago. They have a lot of beautiful animals there and it's not like photographing in a zoo. The animals are taken out to natural settings for you. Their handlers encourage them to run and play and stalk and chase lures so you can get some great photos of wild animals moving and behaving naturally. If you ever get the chance to take a workshop there I highly recommend it.

Research Your Subjects - White Tiger Facts
Not long ago I finished a white tiger painting. Before I painted it I did a lot of looking around online and in my wildlife books to learn about the animal. Besides just looking at lots of pictures, I read a bit about white tigers too. This is important to do. Don't rely on images you see online for accurate information on how to portray your subject. They may be inaccurate, or you may overlook some detail if it's not pointed out in a descriptions somewhere.
When looking at artwork of white tigers online and comparing the facts I'd read I noticed a few errors. Many otherwise very good artists had inaccurately painted or incorrectly described their subject. We aren't talking kids' finger paintings here. I saw some very nicely done, professional paintings of white tigers that were excellent except for the obvious fact that the artist had not researched the facts about the subject.
I won't name names or show images because this isn't about picking on any particular artist. It's just to point out that not researching your subject, and portraying it inaccurately, can diminish the feeling of realism in the work. Now, of course, if realism is not your style then do whatever you want. But most of these paintings were realistic in style and I would assume the artist intended it to be an accurate representation of the animal.
So what were these flaws? Mainly yellow eyes, and being called "Siberian" tigers. But also some more subtle things like overly stark white fur with jet black stripes.
The facts are:
White tigers are Bengal tigers. There's no such thing as a white Siberian tiger. Any accounts of a white Siberian tiger have never been proven, or have been shown to be crossed with Bengals. I see many white "Siberian" tigers in paintings. I suppose it is due to the fact that a white tiger looks good in the snowy Siberian forest. Perhaps we can call that "artistic license"?
White tigers do not have yellow eyes. Almost all white tigers have blue eyes. Occasionally, they will be greenish-blue.
White tigers are not albinos, therefore they do not typically have stark white fur. They often have a tinge of orange left in their white fur, like this cute little guy.

(Image source: A-Z Animals)
Their stripes are also often muted brownish-black to brown rather than being jet black.
White tigers are actually pretty rare in the wild. Most white tigers are in captivity, and have been inbred, resulting in all sorts of health issues and abnormalities.
Ok, so what? Most people who view a painting of a white tiger will not know these facts. So who cares? True, most won't. But chances are, if someone is a collector of wildlife art, they will know these things. You don't typically spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on art if you don't have a love of the subject. And if you have a love of the subject, you know these things.
And who I am to preach about it? I have made some mistakes in my paintings. I'm definitely not perfect. But, as artists, we should always be striving to improve ourselves and our art. It's not all about painting techniques and honing our brush skills. It's also about studying and knowing our subjects intimately. Don't forget what you're painting because you're so focused on how you're painting. Always be learning inside and outside the studio!

White Tiger Painting - Finished
In my previous post I wondered if the tiger painting would be better with more grass, less grass, or no grass. After pondering it a day I finally decided it needed just a little more grass. But not too much more! I didn't want the grass to become too dominant an element. I think it just needed to taper off rather than drop off suddenly. And there needed to be a few blades of grass in front of his chest to make it feel like he was brushing up against the grass instead of just walking around it.
I need title suggestions for this painting! I don't know what to call it. If you have a suggestion, please let me know.

White Tiger Painting - Almost Finished!
My white tiger painting is almost done!
I always had the intention of putting some grass in the foreground. But now that I did, I'm not sure I like it. I can't decide if it's too much grass, or not enough. Maybe a few more blades in front of his chest and a few in the background between the rocks? Or maybe it was better with no grass. Ugh. I can't decide!
What do you think? More grass? Less grass? No grass?

White Tiger Painting -WIP2
Got a bit more done on my white tiger painting today. More work on the face. More stripes, toned up the eyes a bit. I still need to finish up the left side of his face and left ear. Need to add whiskers. I might put some blades of grass in front. Then he should be done.

Here's the previous version for reference. The colors are actually more accurate here. In the most recent photo it was night and I had only artificial light. In the earlier version I had natural daylight so the colors are more true.

This guy should be finished up very soon!

White Tiger Painting -WIP
Here's something currently on the easel, my first white tiger painting. I'm painting it from a reference photos I took at the Triple D Game Farm. It's a bit interesting because the photo is of a yellow Siberian tiger and I'm trying to make this one a white Bengal tiger. (There's no such thing as a white Siberian tiger, as far as anyone knows)

Yeah, I know sometimes it looks like I jump around a lot. A wolf half-finished one day, a tiger the next. But I work in oil paints and sometimes you have to wait for one layer to dry for a day before you can apply the next. So it's good to have several paintings going at once so there's always something to work on. I'll probably jump back to the previous wolf painting tomorrow, since it should be dry by then, and hopefully finish it up soon.

Adobe Photoshop for Fine Artists
I know when most people hear the word Photoshop they think of computer graphics. But tools such as Adobe's Photoshop can be quite helpful for the fine artist too.
This post is not a Photoshop tutorial. There are a thousand sites out there dedicated to learning Photoshop already. What I'm going to talk about here is why Photoshop can be useful to the fine artist as well as the digital artist.
As you may know from reading my previous posts, I recently finished a mini painting of a stalking Siberian tiger, shown here:

As I also mentioned previously, I had been toying with the idea of flipping the colors, doing a white tiger in yellow grass. But how would that look? It looks good in my head. But it doesn't always match on paper. So, first, I have to get it out of my head and somewhere I can see it.
I could draw it with colored pencil. Or I could do a rough paint sketch. But, an ever faster way to get an idea of what it would look like is to mock it up in Photoshop. Here's the first iteration.

Hmmm. Now that I actually see it outside my head I'm not so pleased. It looked better in my head! Amazing how beautiful things are in my head vs reality!
But, my point is, this Photoshop image took all of about 3 minutes to create. Crude as it is, it gets the idea across. I don't like it as much as the first image. And it would have taken me 10 times longer at least to draw or sketch that same image, only to find I don't like it.
OK, so now that I see it, what's wrong with it? Why is it not as strong as the first image? I think, in the first image, we have yellow in the background tying in with the yellow of the tiger. In the second image, there is no white in the background to tie into the white tiger. OK, let's play around in Photoshop some more and see if we can fix that.
Here, I've added a little snow within the grass to connect the white tiger to some white in the background.

Better, but still not as strong as the first image, in my opinion.
But again, the point is, this second iteration only took me another few minutes. Overall I spent less than 10 minutes playing around with white tigers in yellow backgrounds in Photoshop. It would have taken me an hour or more to do this with colored pencils or paint. Or, worse, I could have spent days or weeks painting an actual large painting of this white tiger in yellow grass only to be disappointed with the end result.
I know, many of you are not too tech-savvy and prefer the old-fashioned way of doing things. Who has time to learn all that software stuff?! It's only 30 minutes of sketching anyway, right, so who cares? But, those 30 minutes add up over the years. Think about how many more hours you could spend actually painting good paintings if you spent less time on concept sketching, experimenting, or just plain old messing up! It's a good investment of your time!
