I'm an artist who paints plein air and in the studio. Most of my work is in oil or acrylic. Landscape, pet portraits and wildlife are my favorite subjects. Most of the plein air works are painted around the state of Michigan.
Here's one of my plein air paintings from back in August. Painted at Kensington Metro Park near Milford, Michigan.
Hickory Ridge Trail.
14x11 Oil on canvas panel.
