I have recently started painting animals again after a bit of a break and this one has absolutely become a favorite of mine. Sometimes as an artist you create a work that your not sure where it came from only that it is a breakthrough peice for you. A peice that makes another world of paintings possible for you. This is one of those paintings. The orginal is 18x36 oil on canvas available at Governor French Gallery, 219 West Main Street
Belleville, IL For more info contact me or call the gallery itself (618) 233-7542

Okay I have to be awake in thee hours so I am going to let  Paste's Show announcement do the talking here tonight. I have a 10x10 foot booth and the show is open from 9-3pm. TONS of new work. If your in the area swing by and check it out! : )
Cheers!

Between logo work and art shows I have been BURIED this month. I will post tomorrow about this weekend's show in Soulard, but in the meantime here's a small glimpse of what I have been up to.

All Paws Inn is a  great start-up bushiness in the St Louis area headed up by one of the leaders of the Halo Group.

And here's a preview of a piece I am completing as we speak. Still needs color, but for all your website and social media needs check out MediaMacaw.com!
