A SELECTION OF JIM'S NEWER ARTWORK
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 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.
If you're interested in purchasing this original, framed painting, please visit the Ann Arbor Art Center. Or if you'd like to have Jim create an energy-style painting, as a gift for yourself or a relative or friend, contact him using the email icon, top right.

Parrot Pair
Jim was inspired to paint Parrot Pair after creating an earlier parrot painting on commission for a woman who loves macaws. Although Jim enjoys painting all kinds of birds, these brightly colored scarlet macaws are especially suitable for his energy style of artwork.
Jim's original 24" x 24" framed, acrylic-on-canvas painting is available for purchase at the Ann Arbor Art Center. If you’re interested, 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 Jim 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. Jim's originalTwin Pines / Lake Martha Sunset, a 20" x 20" acrylic-on-canvas painting, is available for purchase.

The Village Gobblers
Once again, Mother Nature has provided amazing inspiration for Jim, this time in the form of seven, wild, North American turkeys who flew over the fence and into our back yard one afternoon (yes, wild turkeys fly occasionally). Jim selected three from this flock for his new energy-style painting: a female who wore a rare shade of white, plus a juvenile and an adult male who both wore the more typical black, bluish brown hue, with the tom proudly displaying his tail fan feathers.

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 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" acrylic-on-canvas painting, Jim's 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. Please contact Jim via the email icon, upper right, regarding this painting, 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.
