The Proposal

This is a commission requested by my now son in law for my daughter. He surprised her with it on the anniversary of their engagement, in Mexico in front of a beautiful sunset. Very romantic.

Cleo

This is Cleo, another beloved beagle and housemate to Odin. He is a hunting breed beagle. That explains his propensity to jump on everything. He jumps like a cat!  I used to refer to him as the cat dog.

This was another commissioned portrait.

Odin

Meet Odin.

He is one of my brother-in-law’s beloved beagles. This portrait was commissioned for him for Christmas by his wife, my sister-in-law. He’s majestic!  A show breed beagle.

Izzy

This is Izzy, painted for a coworker of my son who bought a pet portrait at a silent auction fund raiser. I got a wonderful thank you note from the owner and a couple bottles of wine. She gave it to her husband at Christmas. Ahh… the joy of painting!

Olive progression

This is a commissioned piece for a bar in Hampton. These three pictures show the progression of  painting olives. The undercoated olives are in yellow. I then base coated the olives in various shades of green.  Then the final painting of the juicy olives.  What can I say, “olive painting”!

Under coat (first step) in yellow.

Base coat in green.

Finished olives!

 

 

Sage

This is a second pet portrait I did after Sammy for another acquaintance.

Sammy

Sammy  is an example of a pet portrait I did .  She is my friend’s little Jack Russell Chihuahua mix.  She is such a little lady .  Love the pink collar.
