Three Pugs with Personality!

Three Pugs with Personality!

16"x20"
Pastel on Paper
Private Commission, NFS

These three adorable dogs were actually painted from one photograph! I don't know how she got them to sit like that LOL


Don't worry, if you can't get all the critters to behave at the same time, most of my portraits are painted from multiple photos.

Here are some closeups of their faces:

Marilyn Monroe Teapot II

Well, here I am, I bet you thought you'd never get another painting from me! I've been busy with some commissions, one of a young boy that I can't wait to show you!

Without further ado, here is the latest 'fun' painting - I just love this teapot! This is a quick study done on 3/4" plywood, it's 9"x 9". I had some small pieces laying around that I didn't want to go to waste. I will have to do something else to them though. I couldn't stand painting on this flat gesso surface, the brush just dragged! Usually when I paint on wood or a panel, I coat the surface with lacquer, a technique I learned from artist Joy Thomas It's a lot of fun to paint on a lacquered surface, the paint just slips and slides and you can do a lot of manipulation.

Oil on Panel
9"x 9"

Available for $100 by sending me your request by email :)

Thanks for your interest - see you soon!

Shiba Inu Charity Painting

Shiba Inu

Original Oil Painting

4" x 6" - Oil on Panel, unframed

Every bit of the money raised by this auction will help dogs receive the treatment they need to live long healthy lives - please be generous!

Now, I have to admit that I had never heard of a Shiba Inu dog until they contacted me to do an auction for them. They are gorgeous dogs, sort of like a small akita. They come from Japan.

The last auction, which I did not put on my blog (shame on me) raised $160 for Papillon rescue! I hope this one does as well. It is already up to $66 and I just started the auction a few hours ago.

100% OF ALL FUNDS RAISED WILL BENEFIT RESCUE AT
MIDWEST SHIBA INU RESCUE

Thanks for your interest in my artwork - and for your wonderful emails!

Object of My Affections III

"Object of My Affections III"

Black Labrador Retriever

4"x6" Oil on Panel

Since Black Labs love everyone and everything and all food, the object of this Black Labrador's affections could be anything you could conceivably throw, including the couch, or an eagerly anticipated food treat

My goal was to capture the intensity of a black lab as they wait for you to throw something (anything!)

The painting is signed by the artist, the website copyright appears only on the internet.

Thank you for your interest in my artwork, all replies answered, please forward to your friends!
