Painting Process

Here is a look at how this chocolate lab was created.

It really doesn't start out exciting.

This canvas board was small enough that I only did a grid for the center.

Even at this point, some may be wondering what is going to happen.

When will it look like a dog?

Sometimes even I do wonder too.

Usually, if it isn't going to work out (and sometimes it happens),

it's at this point. Keep going or start over?

This type of dog works great with this type of paint stroke.

Spring Rhythm

This is another one of my faves! It's a softer Spring piece but there is something almost musical about the flow throughout. The yellow flowers were trimmed from my rosebush out in the front yard. The rest of the arrangement came from Creekview Floral, who do amazing bouquets and arrangements. "Spring Rhythm" 12 x 16 oil on canvas This one needs a new home!

Color!

Did someone say they wanted a painting with color? HOT Pink! available as original or as a Print!

Iris (19-14)

Another iris for the collection. This is a part of the spring collection that I am working on. I kept the background simple so the focus was on the main attraction, the bloom. The purple is a deep variation of colour and the top of the bloom is a gauzy white. This artwork could work in any room. It's small size allows for it to be a part of a larger compilation or in smaller spaces such as hallways, kitchen, or bathrooms. Iris (19-14) 6" by 6" oil on canvas board Click to buy with Paypal
