Sweet Stella

This is an older drawing that I worked back into....promise I am going to produce soon...having a bit of a time after the hurricane which greatly disrupted our lives.....

Sadie

This is our Sadie dog...a very sweet and gentle creature.  I am beginning to work again...Hurricane Matthew was so disrupting.

Stella at the Beach

This is my submission for the 30 in 30 challenge a beach scape. This is my dog Stella enjoying the sunshine and sand at the beach.

Good Dog!

This sweet little girl petting a friendly dog at the local Farmer's Market caught my eye.  I loved her stance and endearing gesture.  I am beginning to feel comfortable with landscape, cityscape and people in those scapes.   I took a great deal of abstract license with this painting.  I think that I am beginning to find my voice.  I will photograph tomorrow because the lighting was incandescent in my studio.  Not good.  It washed out most of the grays.  Ahhhhhhh.....photographed under natural lighting....what a change!

Sweet Ellie.....commissioned painting

SOLD This little 6"X 8" painting is a commissioned piece done in oils.  This is a gift to owners that lost this sweet girl a while back.  I loved painting her image....such a sweet face. If you have a pet that you would like to commission a painting of please email me and we can discuss the option.

DRAWING 12

This is a preliminary sketch done for a commissioned painting.  Ellie was a very sweet girl and rescued by a family that dearly loved her....she left this earth just far too soon.  What an honor to paint such a handsome animal.  It has been a while since I have painted a pet friend...I am excited to get back to it.  This girl was a blonde golden retriever with big soulful eyes. Drawing is something that I just love to do....why I do not draw every day is a real travesty.  I read somewhere that it is a smart thing to leave a sketch pad in every room in the house so that you can pick up a pen or pencil and draw when you have a few minutes.  I am continually buying sketch books...don't know why I guess I just love the creamy pages and the emptiness that awaits a few toned lines.
