"Grazing after the Thaw"; Watercolor of Bison Outside Yellowstone NP, Wyoming, 22" X 28"

I am going through all of my art files and that includes many fine art watercolors I have done throughout my career. I miss the west terribly, so looking at some of these brings back many fine memories. This is available as a fine art print at most sizes up to 22" X 28".

Sponges and Green Moray Illustration Panel for New England Aquarium's Giant Ocean Tank

These illustrations were super-fun since I got to illustrate so many awesome species. The green moray is amazing - they tend to live at or near the bottom of the coral reef, as they do in this giant live exhibit. New England Aquarium has many of my illustrations and they are my oldest and favorite client.

Elk and Deer Rut: Hanford Reach National Monument, 12" X 18"

Exhibit panels 21 and 22 of 24: Elk and deer in rutting season. It was fun playing with watercolor throughout this whole project. I work digitally but at times find I can only get what I "need" with good ole' paint.

I used many of my old photos from when I lived in Wyoming as reference (boy, did that come in handy) - I saw mule deer and elk nearly every day out there. 

"Rutting": Hanford Reach National Monument

These exhibit panels (21 and 22 of 24) feature elk and mule deer in rutting season. These panels mimic a naturalist's notebook in style; each panel measures 12" X 18".

Burrowing Owls: Hanford Reach National Monument Exhibit Panel 7 of 24

This is the seventh panel of 24 (12 sets of two) illustrated in a field-journal-style for Hanford Reach National Monument in Washington state. These panels (including the one below, #8) describe Burrowing owls. Visitors can flip through these "books" measuring 12" X 18", before exploring the beautiful and varied terrain in this uniquely-historical area. I was lucky to have numerous photos of burrowing owls from when I lived in south Florida to use as reference. They are super-cool to watch, and the Punta Gorda area had many burrows (at least back in the late 1990's).

Burrowing Owls: Hanford Reach National Monument Exhibit Panel

This is the eighth panel of 24 (12 sets of two) illustrated in a field-journal-style for Hanford Reach in Washington state. This panel describes Burrowing owls' behaviors and dangers from predators like the badger. Visitors can flip through these "books" measuring 12" X 18".

"Zorado Fields" Horse Farm Poster, 12" X 19"

This poster was created from six photos of a California farm including the two horses belonging to the owner. The challenge was to incorporate the horses, the facility (I used the dressage ring), and elements of the surrounding landscape, as well as the landscaping on site, to create an appealing graphic, parts of which could be used in logo creation.
