Winter Blues

I am doing my best to wait out winter. There's snow forcast for today, but the daffodils are getting ready to bloom and the snowdrops are already blooming. Mother nature is very confused.

Ollie, my ten-year-old boxer, loves to snuggle under the blankets, and he especially loves this afghan. Sometimes, he will bury himself completely under the blankets. Ceili, my female boxer, prefers to lay on top of the warm blankets.

Both dogs keep me company when I paint indoors. They only have compliments when they watch me work. What a great audience.

Lucy's Portrait

This is Lucy, the sweet golden retriever, owned by friends from the Dive Shop. She is still very active, though she is getting old. I had fun with the fur on this one, and those eyes were so expressive.

Lucy's Turn

My latest series of paintings focuses on animals. I’ve added a new page to my Website just for animal paintings. Most of my inspiration comes from pets of mine and some of my friends.
Lucy is a friend’s golden retriever. She is an older dog, but still quite energetic and loves to sit out on the porch of their beach house and check out the comings and goings of the neighborhood.

Ollie

This is my boxer, Ollie. He is so regal looking in this painting. This is one in a series of dog paintings that I will be doing in the next few months.
