Some of you have asked where my old blog went. I have been slowly trying to transfer it over, so hang in there, but in the meantime, I have a lot to share with you.
One of those most often asked questions that I get is “why dogs”?
Several years ago I was commissioned to create the painting below. It was my first major acrylic and I had a blast doing it. After that was installed, people called me and asked if I would paint their dog. And of course I said I would. It has been so much fun!
Day Dreaming | 9 Panels | Acrylic | 9 x 32 feet | commission
All of these dog portraits are up on my website, but I wanted to show you a few of my most recent creations.
Cavalier | Acrylic | 12 x 12 | $700
Lab | Acrylic | 18 x 18 | $1100
Basset Hound | Acrylic | 12 x 24 | $1100
Copper | Acrylic | 24 x 12 | commission
Copper was a commission that I did for a couple who recently lost their beloved pet. Their daughter surprised them with this painting. I have heard that they were really moved by the painting. At first I was concerned that they might be sad when they looked at it, but I was assured that they really enjoy it.
Malia | Acrylic | 18 x 18 | Private Collection
A couple of months ago my precious Chihuahua Malia passed away and while I thought that I might be sad seeing her painting every day, it makes happy. It’s as if she is still with me. So, I guess I understand how a memorial painting would be alright.
And my second most painting is of this adorable Bulldog. My most recent painting has not been photographed yet, but stay tuned!
