After a number of fits and starts, I'm happy to say that work on my newest piece ' Big White Cottonwoods' is progressing nicely.

Michael has begun work on a new colored pencil original tentatively titled 'Big White Cottonwoods.'  This new work will be included in 'The Sunset Series.'  Michael will keep you posted as work on his new piece progresses. 

The first person to correctly identify the exact location of  '197 #1', my most recent addition to 'The Sunset Series',  will receive a signed and numbered reproduction worth $125. This reproduction was printed using the Epson 118860 inkjet printer which sets the standard for fine art digital printing. Archival quality Epson Ultrachrome inks were matched with Halnemuhle Museum Etching watercolor paper.  This reproduction is 60 percent of original size.
