Let me introduce you to Gen. Beauregard Lee, who has the distinction of being the 2015 groundhog for Georgia. On Groundhog day, he did NOT see his shadow while strolling around their Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn, GA. Looks like Georgia will be getting another early Spring.

Excuse me while I say: "just peachy, Georgia" I hope to paint Staten Island Chuck next.

The Rare Snowman

The Rare Snowman, 4 x 4 inches, Oil on Panel Sold - Thank you! It's a warmer day today and the one snowman in the neighborhood is not faring well. In addition to melting he's got a problem with one of his twig arms. I take Cooper & Cookie for short walks several times a day and when I saw what was happening to this guy, I knew I had to make a painting of him.

I walked out of the studio convinced I

Nuthatch for Spring

"Nuthatch Calls for Spring" 5 x 5 inches, Oil on Board - Sold OK, update on the weather for the Finger Lakes area of NY. Snow-COLD...not just cold! I've been complaining about winter and just like any other time I complain about weather, nothing changes. So I decided to paint a little bird today. Lots of them still at my feeders. I've been saving my dryer trap lint for them to soften the nests that are sure to be built. I'll be putting that out in an netted bag in two weeks. So Spring will get here...just not in the next two weeks or so.
