June 24, His Daughter's Horses

 Whew!  Here's another commission I've been working on for a while- I love horses! They are anatomically quite different from cats and dogs, though... a little closer to the deer I love and haven't painted in a while either!  These are for my sweet friend Andy, for his daughter who loves her horses dearly.

I wasn't sure about the background, painting it in blues first, but I'm really happy with the somewhat abstracted trees back there!

June 20, The Daily Path

 At camp we are living in the woods. It's a maple forest mostly, with tall, gangly trunks rising up above more smaller tall gangly trunks and a wonderful airy green atmosphere. Every day is a gift, walking through that space.

Up NOrth Painting~

 Yep! I'm up north a bit, painting and working with kids! Got some pups around here to paint so that helps too, and there's always the beauty of the lake to pull me in. This painting is from a cloudy sunset- and all that color is true! The sunsets are amazing up here!

It is pretty chilly up here too, which I absolutely love, except for those few minutes between taking clothes off and getting into the bed, and that other time of getting OUT of the bed and into clothes in the morning!

And just as a little reminder, SEND ME YOUR DOGS!  I'm still looking for a number of dog photos for my July 30 Dogs in 30 Days project!

Wahoo!

 Yes, another commission! I seem to love fluffy fur... it's really fun to paint. With the black ground I paint on, it's painting in the highlights for the most part! Not a lot more to worry about!

Love it!

Oh and if you want to learn how to paint from me, I'll be offering some classes in July, just one day 2.5-3 hour classes on how to paint your pet!

June 7, Another Pup!

 I''m collecting photos for this July's 30 Dogs in 30 Days project and I'd love to paint YOUR dog too!

This was a commission for a friend to give to a friend, and I'm told was very well received- I can't quite explain how much it means to me to feel that a painting of mine can help breach a gap and heal a little love~

It's pretty cool...

Another Commission!

Okay, so sometimes I fall in love with the pet I'm supposed to be painting, just from the photos, and this is definitely one of those....

Can you tel why?

Those large, liquid eyes, piercing you with love (and probably a desire for bacon) and that fluff, and the sweet little nose...

Just all of Hubert is extremely loveable!

BUT you can have your OWN painting of your OWN beloved pup and I can paint it this July for my 30 Dogs in 30 Days Project!  More info HERE!
