NOVEMBER 2013

Hallo meine Freunde und Familie! You’ll notice some changes to this month’s newsletter. I’ve decided to change some things around a bit to hopefully keep you all interested and not overwhelmed with info. I’ve dropped the sections and decided to keep the newsletter focused on a single subject or piece of artwork. I’ll still be doing specials from time to time and will notify everyone accordingly.

So this latest piece is a special commission for a friend of mind who has been collecting my work for a little over a year now. This friend/collector particularly likes my wildlife subjects and commissioned me to do a painting of a bull. It was a great challenge as I haven’t painted a bull before. I enjoyed painting at this large size as it allowed for broader brush marks and adds to the boldness of the head-on image of the bull.

Okay I think that’s it for this issue. I hope everyone has a fun and safe Thanksgiving!

Until the next 30 moons…

I grew up with a veterinarian as a father and an artist as a mother. Having a father as a veterinarian instilled in me a deep affinity for animals. All the animal companions we took in were rejects from Dad’s practice whom clients had left behind.

Helping out at my father’s practice gave me direct behind-the-scenes access into the lives of animals on a daily basis. It is hard to pinpoint an exact time, but I was very young when I slowly realized that animals were not all that different than humans. Time and time again I saw various cats and dogs expressing emotion and feeling beyond basic instinct. Witnessing both happy moments and not so happy moments between owners and pets made me realize the massive impact animals have on humans and vice versa. Some call it energy. Some call it spirit. But we can all agree that there is something connecting us all. To paraphrase: We are not animal beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having an animal experience.
