Announcement    PLEASE NOTE: This school year I am teaching art full-time in Heart Butte School on the Blackfeet Reservation in north-central Montana (on the east slope of the Rocky Mountains and about 40 miles south of East Glacier Park.). If you make a purchase, I will email you to let you know when I will ship, as Heart Butte is 240 miles away from my home studio in Lewistown.

Direct Check-out, Credit Card, PayPal and Etsy Gift Cards accepted. PayPal also has a "Buy Now Pay Later" credit option. Visit my Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/PoppengaArtStudio for sneak PREVIEWS of works-in-progress and wet paint specials.

I work primarily in oil paint on stretched canvas, wood panels or papers that have been coated with gesso. Other materials I enjoy using include soft pastels, charcoal, acrylics and inks. I also design and hand-pull multiple color serigraphs.

Central Montana's high prairie sky and landscape fascinates me as it never appears constant but is always in a state of change. Clouds, wind, prairie and wide vistas are my favorite subjects. Stormy skies are especially interesting to me. Black Angus cattle are the dominate livestock here and I often include them not only because they seem to appear everywhere but also because they provide scale to the expansive landscape.

Although I've focused on sky and landscape for the several years, I do work with other subjects, including the human figure, wildlife and domestic cats (especially black cats.)

I also create public art, usually in the form of large-scale mural work, both interior and exterior. One of the largest, more unusual mural surfaces I've painted on was the concave interior of a full-orchestra-sized outdoor band shell in Helena, Montana.

PLEASE NOTE: LOOKING FOR A PARTICULAR PAINTING YOU KNEW WAS LISTED BUT NOW IT'S NOT?
When I enter a painting in an exhibition, I pull it from the active listings in my store until the exhibition is concluded. If it is a painting you are interested in, please email me to find out when it will again be available for purchase.

A Special Note:
Now and then I may offer free shipping on selected items. When my free shipping offer ends, I delete that line in the listings. I try to keep everything up-to-date but sometimes I miss changing an item's offer. If you notice an item in my shop that indicates free shipping but has a shipping cost listed, please let me know and, if you want to purchase that item, I will honor the free shipping.
