Schnauzers

Here are two examples of the same type of dog.
 One is a close up and the other is full body.
I think the close up photos bring more to the painting, because you can get more expression in the details.

Sara (we miss you)
10" x 8"
oil on canvas

This painting could work out better if it was larger (more detail).
Standard Schnauzer
12" x 9"
oil on wood board (birch)

I am also more partial to the first painting because Sara was my first dog as a grown up. She was awesome! Even if she always had a sad, upset face. It took at least three paintings of her before I got it just right. That expression is pure Sara.

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!
