    Lewis's Woodpecker at Ankeny

    Just spend the morning over there yesterday. Great day. We got a glimpse of a Lewis's Woodpecker--my very first. Plenty of Acorn Woodpeckers. A Rough-legged Hawk. Red-tails. Immature Baldies. Countless sparrows. Lots of Bluebirds and Killdeer. Herons, Egrets, Pintails, Coots, one...

    Wootton Art 2013

    Man I am really digging that landscape. True to your form, Tim. What's with the sharpie work? When did that start? I just bought a huge set of sharpies...okay, it was for halloween...and am wondering if I should get them out and start messing around. xoxo

    I'm glad you said it first Tim. Man, Nick, every time I look at your work I smile through all of it. It's all just so subtle, with great flow/movement. LOVE it all!!

    Colleen, I have seen so much of the "pedestrian stuff" lately. Some of it is very nice, but everyone, of course, is doing it, so there is less than a handful that actually stand out. Thanks for your compliments! Hey, you're only a state away! Drive up and pick out whatever you'd like. I'll...

    Thanks guys! Working in a gallery where many artists come in to drop off or pick up work-signing in and out, I have noticed a massive number of lefties. It makes me feel not so alone in this big right-handed world. Someday, we will rise up and conquer! Power to the lefties! Wait, I don't...

    Here's a small fountain. I'm messing with the idea. It's a test fountain. And yes, it looks like a frickin' ashtray, I know. So if the fountain doesn't work then I'll just add it to my collection. Peace out Homies.

    Here are a few mugs that I am trying out. I like them. This is the first 'batch'. Unfortunately, because I am left-handed, as I created them, I forgot that there were right-handed people out there, so...well, if you hold a mug with your right hand, you might get poked in the eye. I made a...

    Love these snipe sketches. I love the gestural feel to them and the accuracy which you are so good at. I think we are losing our snipe. Or at least they are keeping well hidden. Most people don't even know they exist.

    Great, now I have all sorts of images for the sitcom of "Primal and Iconic". Thanks! I'll be posting more soon...soon. Haven't done anything this week except work on building my deck, WHICH is finished, thank god. Ugh, I so want to get back into the studio!

    Tim, primal and iconic is exactly what I want from these birds. Thank you...you know me too well. I like bird #3 too...it has a quality of depth in the clay that I enjoy. Thank you Colleen, I really like the shininess of the first one too...I don't use that glaze much, but when I do, I make...

    Oh, and I love that everyone saw birds in that painting. Just recently I created some test ornaments for some holiday showcase coming up. They were suppose to be non-objective. I was to make the shapes and a friend is going to paint them. Well, guess what they look like? No, not...

    A"ight my Homies. Here are a few things. I'll get photos of the other stuff in a day or so. I think I am going to start putting my birds on branch like pedestals. I finally have the time to work the clay in a patient manner, meaning I won't feel rushed to get something out, which I've been...

    Adam, Fantastic stuff. I managed to zip through your entire thread, something I can't do anymore with the elders of the community;) I love watching the process. Thanks for showing how the magic works! Beth

    Your sketches are some of my favs too Mike. Wow, I really loved the plein air landscapes...they made me tear up a bit because I am sitting inside working (well, obviously not 'working' just sitting here waiting for people to walk in off the street to look at art) and it is beautiful outside. I...

    The skua is fantastic, Tim. I've given up on looking back on ALL the ones I've missed. And in doing so, there is a marked difference, some kind of evolution, in your work. Mmmmm, your watercolors make me drool. And regarding this little artist community, I, for one, am grateful for it. Even...

    only one Here's only one painting I've been working on this term. The photo makes it a little washed out. I've gone all non-objective on yo' asses. I have 3 more weeks of school and then I can get back to clay--for good. I guess I really should send some photos of the finished products of...
