Hoo boy was
it cold in Choteau, Montana this Christmas. Many times the mercury dipped below -5 degrees Farenheit, -15 Celsius. Painting was especially cold, as you are pretty much just standing around in the snow for a couple of hours.

Work meetings are the best place to sketch people, especially since you have to listen as opposed to talk.

Happy Holidays!


Hot Tub Santa, acrylic on bristol paper, 5" X 7"

I'm in balmy Choteau Montana for Christmas this year, where if I was smart, I'd warm my bones in a hot tub, just like Santa here. Instead, I hope to get a few paintings done in between family events.

Here's a hearty thank you to all the people who have make my life awfully terrific this year.
