Double Oil Portrait

 

One for Jana of Clyde

Two of this great boy.  First....

 

More dogs to come but NEWS!!

Yes, I deserve a poster that says I have been bad at posting my commissions as they come...

BUT I have a new adventure coming up and want to announce my first posting in the blog.

I will be Artist in Residence at the Petrified Forest National Park in May 2017.  Because it is still a month and a half out, I will give a few updated until I hit the road, but hope you will follow along with my new adventure!

My future home....

Take a look and follow my postings:

Lucy, a gift

I was so happy to do a gift portrait.  This little piece was of a great dog who was a real survivor.  The owner wanted to treat her husband, who has everything, with a painting of their most important family member.  After much illness this little beauty was a dear creature and lovely model

Twister, Radar and Doppler

An early Christmas gift was finished before my trip to Denver in October, these three mini's MUST be a handful but are such total sweeties!

Pee Wee - Memorial

I made this piece for a very very very old personal friend who reconnected via facebook, for a grieving family member.  

Hospice of the Valley Donation

I painted Lin Sue Cooney, a local television celebrity for a portrait show in 2015.  The piece featured her beautiful Standard Poodle, Max.  

This lead me to her and her new job as spokeswoman for Arizona's Hospice of the Valley and my portrait donation of the Labra-doodle pup that was auctioned at their big event!  SUCH A CUTIE!!!

Buster Boxer

This is the second of a pair of Boxer dogs.  Gifts for a son from his dad.

Boxer Bam Bam

These were birthday gifts for a son.   The first of two very sweet boxers.

CHRISTMAS pups

It is still last minute, but I will accept orders for Christmas ornaments of pets until Thanksgiving Thursday morning.  $35 for a portrait.  After that, they will be $40 for the holiday rush. 

Rigel, a real winner

Earlier in the year, I donated a miniature to benefit Miniature Schnauzer rescue groups at the Fiesta Cluster in Scottsdale Arizona.  This lovely face is our winner!

Bud, a Memorial

This little guy was lost less than a month ago.  A new vet office was so kind to help me with an issue so I could not resist bringing back her friend to join them in the office.

Jack in the Yard

Jack apparently loves to dig a nice little hole and sit in the mud.   Smart dog, Jack!
Housemate to Boss in the next posting.   Both happy to be home together.

Chance

A little pup that was rescued and is turning into a fine young dog.

Kirsa

The adult of the former puppy post.  Two gifts are always better than one when you are missing a great friend.

Leela

A gift of a very dear friend and that amazing smile.  Whose life would not be brighter with this face around!

George

This is a memorial of a great jumper.  One of the set I did recently.  Commissioned but not actually paid for.... but a great horse no less

Ricky

This horse has such amazing personality!  Henrich is his real name, but Ricky is how sweet he is!!

Another that is awaiting payment.  If you happen to see him, let me know....there is unfinished business.

Santos by the Pool

This dog was so sweet, he deserved two memorials.  This is his favorite hang out, in the chair by the pool.

Duncan the Westie

This little trouper was showing all weekend yet became my model for the demonstration in the West Highland Terrier both at the Fiesta Cluster.
