Dinner with Yako, 8"x12" oil on linen

My neighbor went fishing yesterday and brought my family some nice trout to eat.  As I was eating them I decided that I needed to paint them.  It was a lot of fun but my studio sure smelled awful.

Fall

This little guy is behind the Grad studio and I couldn't resist its color.

These trees are across from the studio and have already lost their leaves completely.  I find it interesting how some trees loose their leaves so much sooner than others.

Monothon at the Crow shadow Institute of Art

I went to Pendleton Oregon today for a benefit auction at the Crow Shadow Institute of Art.  It is put on by James Lavadour and Frank Janzen.  It was a lot of fun to do some printmaking.

Sorry for the bad photos they took them as fast as we could print them.  

Dixie Dog 9"x12" oil on panel

A fellow artist Greg Caudell had his great dog with him.  She was a great little puppy that I had to paint.  She didn't hold to still but I think I captured her.  

Scotchman peak show

Tree Bottom 8"x10" Sold 

Fall Meadow  8"x10"

Fall Aspens  11"x14"

I had the chance to paint at the Scotchman peaks wilderness plein-air show.  It was a lot of fun to paint with the other artists and meet some new people.  I'll post the other paintings I did when I get better photos of them.
