Antique Car Show

I hope all of you are gearing up for a relaxing July 4th weekend.

We'll be spending most of our off time getting ready for our next show.
The show will be located in Maggie Valley, NC on July 9th and 10th.

Hopefully, we will be spending one of our days off going to an antique car
show in Fletcher, NC. Our cameras are at the ready!

Between the two of us, we should be able to get some good photos that
I can use as reference for my drawings.

If you browse my website, you will see that I have a few drawings
of old trucks and one antique car. I really enjoy drawing old transportation
of any kind.

Alaskan Wildlife

My wife and I have decided that if we ever win the lottery, we will need a summer
home away from the deep south. I think Alaska might have the summer temps
that we are looking for.

Because I have been thinking about traveling to Alaska for the last couple of
weeks, I thought I would show you another original that will be going on sale
for our Christmas in July promotion.

This drawing is called Dinner Time. The size of the original drawing is 11"x11"
and is matted and framed in black.

The original price is $650.00. The sale price is $500.00.

Printmaking

My niece, Julie Niskanen, is a very talented printmaker and college level teacher.
She has created some amazing work, and her work has been seen all over the world.

Check out Julie’s website for in depth information on printmaking.

Here is a sample of her work.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Another Tease!

matted and framed in black.

Happy Father's Day!!!!

It's another hot day in the south. I hope everyone is staying cool.

Even though today is Father's Day, I have been steadily working on a new
pen and ink drawing. Because my drawings are so detailed, I use photographs
as reference.

I was looking through some older photos and found some from a trip to Wyoming that I had taken about twenty years ago. 

A few of the photos really had me thinking about drawing more western pieces.
I hope to have the first one completed within the next couple of weeks.

The new one will go in to my Western Gallery on my website. In order to get
you in a western mood, I am posting another drawing from that gallery.

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!

It's the Weekend!!!!!

Hope everyone is staying cool in this heat and having a great weekend.

We have another artist for you to check out.
We met Pam at an art show in York, SC, last year in October.
She designs and makes very nice custom handbags in all sizes.
She even makes custom laptop bags!

My wife loves her stuff and says the fabrics are very nice too.

So..all of you ladies out there, check out her website.
