painting: coonhound (06/25/18)

I love the in-motion swoop to his ears, you just know he’s on his way to do something important. 10″x10″ oil on stretched canvas. Available here. SOLD, thank you.

painting: German pointer (04/26/2018)

These were painted as a commission, and have gone on to the recipient now so  can share without ruining the surprise. If I talked about color choices, I’d have to say this one surprised me how it came together. Sometimes colors just work–sometimes they don’t. The mint green here I think worked wonderfully–it’s value range

painting: greyhound portrait (04/08/18)

Is this year galloping along or what? April. Wow. I sent this one out in my newsletter a couple weeks ago, then realized I needed to touch up the background a little. Here it is, ready to go. 8″x16″ oil on stretched canvas. Available here.

painting: German Shepherd (03/11/218)

This is a lovely dog who was at the park a couple summers ago, I’ve painted him several times now. I asked the lady about his heritage, and he was way outside of my price range, I think his relatives become police dogs. 12″x12″ oil on stretched canvas. Available here. SOLD thank you

paintings: dogs, and a horse

Already finishing up some commission work this year! So happy with all of these. I was trepidatious about painting with a brush again, but whew, they worked. So happy!  🙂

painting: standard poodle (11/06/17)

11″x14″ oil on stretched canvas. Available in my etsy shop. This pretty girl was a passerby at an art show I set up at last summer.

painting: young lab mix (08/16/17)

I haven’t been showing off what I’m working on, so I’d better start doing that before people start thinking I’ve given up painting! I really am painting, but it’s either special requests or things I’m putting aside until closer to Christmas. I really should just list them as I go, right? Yeah, I will try

round up of recent paintings

These are all special request works. But just to let you know, I am still painting and still available. It’s never too soon to ask for holiday (Christmas! Birthday! Anniversary!) gift items. I always run out of time at the end of November, so please ASK EARLY.

painting: German Shepherd (06/01/17)

It’s June already? June? Oh, my! I haven’t even started Christmas shopping and we’re almost halfway there. I can’t believe it. Time gets away, doesn’t it? Like my visit with this beautiful dog. It was two July’s ago! I meant to paint him ever since, but he kept slipping down in my to-do list. Down
