Saddle

Saddle |
My second drawing of Montana-themed objects. The saddle is the same size as the Rod & Reel drawing and is meant to hang together as a diptych (soon to be a triptych, I hope).
This drawing along with the one below will be revealed at my May exhibition at The Artist's Shop in downtown Missoula. There will be a First Friday kickoff event on May 2nd beginning at 5PM. I will be showing a large collection of original drawings as well as framed prints. The exhibition will run through the end of May. Details about the event will be posted on the gallery's web site as well as The Missoulian.

A return to charcoal and graphite pencil with my newest piece. It's also a return to non-commission work and the first drawing without hair since October, 2007. I am working on two additional pieces that are meant to have a similar format but represent the wide range of activities associated with Montana and the Northern Rockies.

Updated Photography Equipment Page!
November 21, 2007
I have completely updated my photography equipment page to include all new text and a new lens. The Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM is my newest addition. It is tack sharp and beautifully designed for those who enjoy the "normal" perspective provided by a 50mm lens. I have also added a description of the newest gadget in my camera bag, the Katz Eye focusing screen for the Canon 20D.
Also, be sure to check out the photography-related links I've included on my Links page.
