"Dog Perignon" Acrylic 12x30 Gallery Wrapped Canvas

This charming little guy is the waiter in my previous post.  His name is Buddy.  His owner purchased this portrait of buddy, who is now nicknamed, "Wine Buddy".  This was one of the first larger whimsical paintings I've done.  I have to say, it's fun painting big.  Hope you all enjoy seeing Buddy as much as I enjoyed painting him.

"Wild Ride" 12 x 16 Acrylic on canvas


This painting was done for a very dear friend.  I want to paint this loose colorful style in more of my paintings.  I'm so attracted to the colorful thick strokes. Trying to loosen up is a tuff thing for me to do.  But, I think with practice it will become more natural.  I have produced prints of this painting and will be making them available soon.

Pet Portrait: "Peanut" 11 x 14 Oil Pastel on Illustration Board

Peanut is a portrait of a papillon mix.  He is a sweet little dog.  Often times he stays with us for little vacations when his family is away.  Peanut belongs to a family member. 

"Mackey and Hurley" 16 x 20 Oil Pastel on Cradled Gesso Board

This portrait was a commission done for a wedding present to a wonderful couple.  It's a portrait of course of their two dogs.  The bride and groom are veterinarians.  These two dogs were buddies from the beginning.  Mackey, the bull dog survived a crippling condition in her back legs.  With tender loving care, wearing braces and having personal physical therapy, she recovered and now walks and runs totally normal.  Hurley is a rescue from a local shelter.  He is a very happy, healthy boy and a great friend to Mackey. It was an honor to do this portrait for two very professional and compassionate people.

Pet Portrait 11 x 14 Oil Pastel


This painting is a portrait of our dog, Ranger.  I painted it from a picture I took of him when he was about 6 months old. There's something about those puppy eyes and the tilt of the head that will get you every time.  Ranger is four years old now, with the same friendly mushy face, just a lot bigger.
