Young Warrior, colored pencil, 19.5 x 12

Sable Antelope are magnificent creatures, their colors and shapes are fascinating. To try and capture these to best effect I chose colored pencil as the medium on a plain background.

Being the fastest land mammal, cheetah have to do a lot of maintenance to remain in peak condition for the next sprint.

Sleepy Red, colores pencil 9 x 18

What a rare treat it was this fall to when visiting dear friends in Montana to find out that they had rescued an abandoned red fox and raised it on their ranch. I had ample opportunity to study this delightful creature at very close quarters and get to know its vibrant personality. It should be a great ambassador for its species in its new home in an educaton conservation facility.

Young Friends, pencil 12.5 x 9

Elephants are so endearing, always caring for each other, family is paramount for them. Safely nestled between their mother and an older sibling these two were able to play in safety.

Fleetig Encounter, oil on linen, 27 x 44

Zebra's reflected in the water create such visual impact that it is a subject I am often drawn to despite the fact that they are very complex to paint, definitely worth the effort though. Some beautiful Carmine Bee-eaters always add a little life to any scene

This is my "more" painting for Western Visions at the National Museum of wildlife, where I am most honored to have been selected to be featured painter this year, a very exciting and busy season for me in Jackson this fall. www.wildlifeart.org.

Leopard Orchid, oil on linen, 43 x 25

Africa provides endless inspiration, such variety, so many moods, from adrenaline pumping action to peace and beauty, always something new. We actually saw this leopard in the tree with the leopard orchid, the latter was not as co-operative as the leopard as it wasn't flowering at the time but with some research I was able to solve that.

This is my submission for the Jackson Hole Art Auction this year, www.jacksonholeartauction.com. Part of the proceedes of the auction will be donated to the National Museum of Wildlife Art, where I am featured painter this year.
