I recently took a short trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California, where I did a lot of hiking, my usual vacation activity. I hope to do some paintings inspired by the scenes seen.
One fascinating place visited was a volcanic hotspot, Bumpass Hell. Instead of hiking there the usual route, I ascended the longer path from King's Creek. I was fortunate to arrive there early enough in the morning (not that early, about 10) that I had the place entirely to myself.
A Woodcarving Life
I carve and paint very many species of wood animals, run and hike, split and stack firewood, and otherwise enjoy my 5 acres of meadow, redwoods, firs and willows; birds, deer, bears, and cougars. And now I am painting pictures as well, mostly landscapes with hidden animals.

Grizzly Bear and Fish sculpture
I sold one of these carvings of the Bear and Fish which I call "Stream of Consciousness" so have started work on number 13. But I do have a finished one, in my Artfire studio which is finished. Grizzly Bear and Fish #12.
My work has been slowed by a back injury which renders me unable to sit for very long. But I hope to soon be healed and back to work.

Nature Note Cards
Here is a collection of my recently created note cards. These are about 4.5 x 6 inches and come with envelopes of course. They are all reproductions of paintings done with an airbrush. I hope you enjoy them!

Turkey Vulture New Design
A collector of my carvings requested a Turkey Vulture. I don't always make the sculptures which people request, but am glad I did this one.
More photos of Turkey Vulture are in my ArtFire studio.
