Riding Pride

Another horse portrait which was painted the Mountain Oyster Club show this year.  

It is an unusual oil painting, in that the canvas I used was actually denim.  I think it is about as Western as you can get!  

Zelda a mate to Lucky

This client had done a wrapped canvas of their great rescue, Lucky, years ago.  Their newest girl was a very mature, late life rescue and it is a mate to the one of dear Lucky who is no longer with us.

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. 

Chester

My summer trip had me sharing digs with four wonderful Airedale dogs.  Chester was the poet of the crew.  Not to graceful, but dainty and skittish.  Such a sweety.  Charcoal on brown paper.

Fox Hounds

This summer in Virginia, I got to see real fox hounds in action.  These two are going to be in an art show in Charlottesville VA. at the Farmington Hunt Club.

Golden Poodle

I have a client in Thailand that sends me her pets regularly.  This latest piece is a golden beauty.

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!

Reilly and Buster

A mixed cultural couple - Puggle and Pom/Yorkie - showing how diversity is the BEST!  In human or dogs.  This was an early birthday gift.  Mom and dad met in the dog park because these two fell in love first!  Awwww!

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.

Boss - FOR SURE!

A tough cookie who is seriously in charge of things, but such a clown.
Boss was a bit of an orphan for a while, but now this painting in its rightful home!

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.

Bandit

This is a real prize winner!  The gift certificate from a "CHAIR"ity event in Chandler AZ, this portrait of Bandit is on canvas.

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.

Rottweiler Pup

Not able to decide for a memorial, a sweet memory of youth was commissioned.

Molly 2

One was not enough.  The commission-er wanted one for themselves.  I obliged!

Miss Molly, Superstar

Yes indeed this girl is a superstar!  She has her own facebook page and now her owner has a lovely portrait, as a gift from a friend.

I D

A gift of a dog that is the light of its owner's life.
