Highlighting Several of Jim's Newer Paintings and Drawings
Dragonlady
Dragonlady
Jim's Dragonlady, a 12" x 12" acrylic-on-canvas painting, is dedicated to one strong, brave woman in particular and to women in general... all, inevitably strong and brave. Dragons are considered fierce, mythical, reptile-like creatures, and often it’s the females who breathe fire to defend themselves and their loved ones. These ancient reptiles were considered to be warm-blooded creatures.

Parrot Pair
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
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
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. If interested, please contact Jim via email email icon, above right.

Smokies / Red-tailed Hawk
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.

Blooming Yucca
Blooming Yucca
Jim’s inspiration for this 24" x 24" painting is the beautiful yucca plants that bloom in the summer in one of our back yard gardens. Nestled in between several daylily plants and some bishop’s weed (aka snow on the mountain) and growing in mostly sandy soil, our yucca plants have leaves that are strong and straight – often called “sword-shaped” – and each plant sends up a summertime stalk with a large, amazing display of white blossoms.

Full Moon Rising
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.

ARTISAN MARKETS
Joan and Jim at a Dixboro Artisan Market
Beginning with the 2016 season, Jim has participated in various artisan markets in SE Michigan.
The initial one was held 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, May 7, 2016. Next came the outdoor, summertime Dixboro Artisan Markets, held in the Dixboro Village Green, May through October. Last, but not least, were end-of-the-year holiday markets, with an Arts & Crafts Show at Livonia Frost Middle School in November and, in early December, a Dixboro Artisan Market in the Dixboro United Methodist Church, located behind the Village Green.
Jim, joined on occasion by Joan, has met talented vendors and interesting market-goers, and has had an enjoyable time gaining insight into this aspect of the fine art business. He is pleased to have sold a variety of his artwork at these artisan markets and, all in all, has been having a great time.
