Decisions

Mixing up washes on my palette.

 Color inspiration comes from a miscellany of objects on my desk at home.

Painting on the fly.  

Decision. Details. One of eighteen birds.

GB Editions | new prints!

I'm so excited about these new prints!

Large and small Terra Feather Collection, Domed Nests,

and small Opossum prints in my shop!

I'd say this is an autumn palette. Wouldn't you?

Take a peek!

GB Hatchery: Black Swallowtails

This summer I have enjoyed rearing monarch butterflies again

 as well as eastern black swallowtails!

Swallowtails lay eggs on host plants in the carrot family:

queen anne's lace, dill, fennel, parsley.

It's fascinating to watch them eat and grow as caterpillars and finally form a chrysalis.

This chrysalis turned brown and now looks like a piece of bark.

I'm not sure if it will emerge this year.

Late season swallowtails diapause in the chrysalis stage and overwinter, 

emerging the following spring.

Stay tuned...

Studio Days

 Proofing some new large and small prints of my domed nest.

I have had so many questions and emails lately about printing giclee prints.

All of my prints are printed with archival inks on 100 percent cotton rag paper.

If you are an artist just getting started I have more information
on my FAQ page on my website.
If you are a collector do check out my shop policies page to read a bit 

more about my paintings and prints and how to care for them.

I'll have a shop update soon!
