Muley Bucks

I took the reference photo of these two bucks near home on a beautiful foggy morning. I’ve seen them again, later in the season, still hanging out together. I look forward to encountering them again for future drawings.

Long forgotten days

This piece is based on two reference photos. The first was taken by a good friend, Joni Freeser at her family ranch on the south side of the Little Belt mountains in Montana. When I accidentally got charcoal on the white sky I incorporated a personal sky reference. The addition of a dynamic sky ended up enhancing the piece for the better and I can’t imagine it without it.

Challenger

A good friend, Parker McComb capture the reference photo of these two mountain goats. I adapted the background to put these magestic boys back in the high country. This piece was a wonderful challenge in textures and I was incredibly pleased with how it turned out.

Other side of the fence

I took the reference for this piece on a cold January day near Martinsdale. I liked how this sheep was wistfully looking across the fence at the tall grass on the other side.

Birds in the hay

This piece was created by sealing and layering acrylic glazes over a graphite and charcoal drawing. Hand painted prints are also available on request.

The watchers

We drive through the hills as often as we can. Popping up over a hill and seeing a line of perked up mule deer is always fun. It is an iconic view and makes me smile.

Be still

This piece is one of my earlier drawings from 2021. It is based on a reference photo of an elk calf I captured with my zoom lens. At first I thought it was a shrub but couldn’t remember there being a shrub in that particular spot. Through the lens I could see it was a sweet baby, snuggled up and being still. It was a good reminder to me to find time to be still in my own life.

hide & peek

My husband and this little goober had an encounter by the canal near our home. Both of them were on the hunt for fish. I don’t know who was more surprised! I was thankful my husband snagged a picture of him.

The Power pair

These cubs were spotted by a good friend less than a mile from my home. I took around 100 photos of the pair as they lounged at the top of the power pole. They didn’t have a care in the world. This is the first drawing I’ve done from that encounter. There will be more to come!
