A Selection of Jim's Newer Paintings and Drawings
Full Moon / Raccoon
Jim's 30" x 40" acrylic-on-canvas painting, Full Moon / Raccoon, depicts a closeup view of some of the pine trees in our yard along with one of the critters who occasionally visit us. When Jim saw the raccoon climbing along a pine tree branch one moonlit night, he knew what his next painting would be... if you'll look closely, you’ll see the late-night critter among the beautiful pine needles and pine cones, made easier to see in the bright light of the full moon.
Please contact Jim via the email icon at the top right if you're interested in purchasing this painting, or in having him create an energy-style painting for you, as a gift for yourself or for a relative or friend.

A Walk in the Orchard
Jim created A Walk in the Orchard, a 16" x 20" acrylic-on-canvas painting, in honor of one of our dogs who enjoyed roaming his back yard among the apple trees. Jim depicted this dog's pride in his yard and in his job, and yes, the Bear considered it HIS back yard. As a mixed breed that included Bouvier des Flandres, he was a working dog who patrolled his property and took his job very seriously, protecting us from squirrels, raccoons... and even any potentially unwelcome humans.

Parrot Pair
Jim was inspired to paint Parrot Pair after creating an earlier parrot painting on commission for a woman who loves these birds. Although Jim enjoys painting all kinds of birds, these brightly colored scarlet macaws are especially suitable for his energy style of artwork.
This 24" x 24" acrylic-on-canvas and gallery-wrapped painting is currently available for purchase. If you’re interested in this artwork, or if you'd like to commission Jim to create one or more animal paintings using his energy style — with birds, dogs, cats, horses, squirrels, deer, or other animals — please contact him via the email icon, top right.

Twin Pines / Lake Martha Sunset
This painting was inspired by Jim’s mother who, the first time she visited us at our current home, was convinced she saw a lake just beyond the pine trees in our back yard. There isn’t one there, but the idea was intriguing, and Jim thought, why not create a painting as a tribute to his mother’s great imagination?
The result is Twin Pines / Lake Martha Sunset, which depicts a view of the setting sun behind two stately red pine trees, on the idyllic shores of Lake Martha. Look closely, and you’ll see a fox and two bunnies, enjoying the view. Twin Pines / Lake Martha Sunset, a 20" x 20" acrylic-on-canvas painting, is available for purchase.

Cardinal Couple / Pear Tree
Jim was inspired to create Cardinal Couple / Pear Tree while watching the brightly colored cardinal couple who has been living in our yard for several years. Every spring, they enjoy singing and sitting in our flowering pear tree, right outside our back door. They’re eventually joined by their brood of fledglings, and all enjoy eating the cardinal blend of seeds we provide for them, while we enjoy watching them and hearing their beautiful songs.
Jim’s original Cardinal Couple / Pear Tree — a 14" x 14" matted and framed colored-pencil drawing — is available for purchase at the 117 Gallery Shop. If interested, please contact Jim via the email icon, above right.

Smokies / Red-tailed Hawk
On a road trip heading south, a red-tailed hawk kept us company for many miles – flying overhead, disappearing, then reappearing – serving as our spirit guide on the winding roads that cut through the Smoky Mountains. This beautiful creature of nature inspired Jim to paint his Smokies / Red-tailed Hawk.
A 20" x 20" framed, acrylic-on-canvas painting, Smokies / Red-tailed Hawk includes the sunset sky that was the backdrop for the graceful and beautiful flying hawk. Jim’s original painting is framed and available for purchase at Ann Arbor Art Center's 117 Gallery Shop. Please contact Jim via the email icon, upper right, regarding the original, and let us know if you have questions.

Full Moon Rising
The full moon is reflecting on the still water, as seen on a beautiful evening in Florida... this is the view looking across Barnes Sound on the Overseas Highway, as it heads to the Atlantic Ocean near Manatee Bay.
Full Moon Rising celebrates a wrong turn Jim took while on a trip to Florida with Joan. That wrong turn turned into an interesting visual experience and short side trip through Key Largo, which they otherwise wouldn't have had. As a result, Jim created this painting, in celebration of the unexpected pleasures that life holds. Jim's framed, original 34" x 24" acrylic on canvas Full Moon Rising is available for purchase via the Ann Arbor Art Center's 117 Gallery Shop.

ART MARKETS
Jim and Joan at a Dixboro Artisan Market
Beginning with the 2016 season, Jim has participated in various art markets in SE Michigan.
The initial one, held on May 7, 2016, was at the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens, where Jim was among the 19 invited to participate in their first-annual event held in conjunction with their Mother's Day Plant Sale. Next have been outdoor, summertime Dixboro Artisan Markets, held on the Dixboro Village Green, May through October, followed by end-of-the-year Dixboro Holiday Markets and an Arts & Crafts Show at Livonia Frost Middle School.
Jim and Joan, who joins Jim occasionally, have met talented vendors and interesting market-goers, and they enjoy encouraging others, including children, to pursue their artistic talent. Jim is pleased to have sold a variety of his artwork at these art markets, while gaining insight into this aspect of the fine art business.
