We just added a couple new prints to the shop : ) These are pieces Lee did in the last year, in between fixing up our old house, selling it and moving cross country.

Here’s a new image Lee did for all the cat lovers out there. Apparently it is loosely based on his wife (that would be me), although in reality my days do not look like this at all 😂

We always seem to have cats around, and they often end up in Lee’s work. Right now we just have two little kitties, the third one is there in spirit.

It's crunch time! The Art in the High Desert is just around the corner, and we are running around like crazy trying to get ready for the show.

Lee will be rolling out a bunch of new work there, including limited edition prints of the image above. If you ever need to get out of Dodge, this would be the perfect escape.

The Making Of A Painting

A look at how Lee creates an image, "ugly sketches" and all 😀

Here's a peek at Lee's process for making this image, which was commissioned for the upcoming Salem Art Fair & Festival. As you can see, it goes through many stages before it becomes a finished piece!

First he starts with what he calls "ugly sketches" just to brainstorm different layouts and ideas. Then comes refining of individual components, such as color and character. Then he does several practice versions, before the final painting begins.

The inspiration for the image is based on the ornery old owl who was known to attack joggers in Bush's Pasture Park, where the art festival is held. He imagined an owl whisperer of sorts, who could sooth the owls to sleep with a lullaby.

The art festival is this Friday 7/21, Saturday 7/22 and Sunday 7/23. Lee will be at Booth 182, come by and say hi!

A Peaceful Slumber

What happens when you have insomnia...

Post by Lee

This image was inspired by insomnia 😀 Sometimes I wake up at night and can't sleep and so of course I go check Facebook (probably not the best way to fall back asleep!). I see a lot of people complaining about not being able to sleep so I wanted to make a sort of fairy tale image that showed someone in a deep slumber. I got the idea of the bull as a protector and as a guardian. I noticed that both my son and my cats seem to really be able to sleep when they know they are totally safe and protected.

This image is painted in watercolor on a rigid watercolor board. Painted size is 16"x20". The framed and matted size is 22"x28"
