I’ve never done anything like this before. I realized that most giveaways may not be what you want or like, so I’m opening it up to let you decide what you get. For one of you, I’m going to paint a custom commissioned painting worth over $2000! Some limitations apply. And 2 more of you are going to get enough credit in my Shop for some big, framed canvas prints of your choice. In return, I really appreciate you helping me spread my artwork to new people and new collectors. 🙏 We have to fight the evil algorithms however we can 💪. 🎶 by Bonobo /// #thankyou #artgiveaway #abeloctobergiveaway #commissionedart #pnwartist

Layers upon layers upon layers. The biggest reason I layer is because I’m just trying to get the color right. Added depth and slight color variations poking through are byproduct bonuses. 🤘 You’re looking at a Buffalo forehead and hair here. Come see this beast at @archimedesgallery Nov 2nd in Cannon Beach, OR for my show with @blainefontana, “LifeWyld: Volume 2”. It’s part of the annual Stormy Weather Arts Festival and it’s gonna be a good time! /// #stormyweatherartsfestival #cannonbeach #buffalo #bison #workinprogress #acryliconwood #pnwart #buffaloart

Bald Eagle in the beginning stages. These raptors fly around my house all the time so it’s about time I paint one. See the final result Nov. 2nd at @archimedesgallery for my 2-person show with @blainefontana “LifeWyld: Volume 2” /// #baldeagle #eagleart #intheworks #ontheeasel

👁‍🗨 Eye of the buffalo 👁‍🗨 Things are shaping up with this piece. There is an unexplainable power in art when it has a life-size animal of this size. I have never noticed it until staring into it’s eyes for 6 hours straight. This beast has me hypnotized. I’ll be unveiling this along with others at @archimedesgallery Nov. 2nd for the Annual Stormy Weather Arts Festival in Cannon Beach, OR, for “LifeWyld: Volume 2”, my 2-person show with @blainefontana. You gotta be there. I’m also going to be doing a special limited edition print giveaway for 10 lucky attendees and maybe a live painting earlier in the day. More details on that later. ✌️ /// #stormyweatherartsfestival #cannonbeach #pnwartist #lifewyldvol2 #bison #buffalo #buffaloart

Life size American Bison head about to go down in the studio. An animal I’ve never painted with colors I’ve never used before... A natural high at its finest. /// #bison #buffalo #wip #inthestudio
