Basset Hound
Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.
What a sad looking fellow. But, who knows...the tail, just out of sight may be wagging in delirious joy!

Sliced Lemon
Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
Here is a great little still life that has been sitting around my studio too long. So I figured it was time to put it on eBay. It was done in May '07. I just now made a few minor but important changes.

June Cow Portrait
Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
I had such a good time painting the cow in the May 21st post( scroll on down this page), I had to try to relive the experience! So here's another one done in the same manner.

Trout Fisherman
Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
This was painted from a from a jpg image on the monitor screen. I used a plein air approach throughout. Paint fast as though the light were going to change...get the darks in first in order to establish the shadow pattern...get the general colors in as accurately as possible the first time....keep it simple, don't get caught up in detail...lastly, add the most detail and chroma around the center of interest.

Jack Russell Terrier
Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.
I love to paint the many colors in "white". I like fresh looking, thick, strokes of oil color. I like plenty of contrast of darks versus lights. I like to paint animals. All my favorites have come together here in this piece. I had fun doing it. Hope y'all enjoy!

Acrylic Rose
Acrylic on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
Still searching the different avenues of expressing an image in paint. This is my attempt at impact. It's a rose from my backyard. The surrounding dark makes the flower leap out and causes the background to dissolve into leaf like shapes. This invites the viewer to hang around for closer inspection....hopefully.

Vanda Orchid
Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
I attempted to kick up the contrast and color interest for drama and excitement...on the verge of overdoing it maybe. I painted over black gesso. Dewi provided the photo of this subject on the WDE at Wet Canvas.

Swan
Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.
This is a return to my original style . I love to play complementaries against each other...to push the color...and create an interesting surface texture via paint texture. And, of course, I just enjoy doing the graceful lines of swans . Hope y'all enjoy it.

Prince Edward Island
Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.
Thought I'd attempt a landscape for a change of pace. I changed many of the colors from the reference just to add my own feel (mood ?)to it. I enjoyed fooling with the texture. Thanks for looking.
Prince Edward Island is Canada's smallest and greenest province. Cradled on the waves of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Island is known for the vivid colours of its gently rolling landscape.
This was painted from a reference photo graciously supplied by Nancy for the WDE at Wet Canvas.

Steelers- - Jerome Bettis
Acrylic on 18x14 stretched canvas.
For this painting I used several reference photos plus a ton of creative artistic license. This piece is not for sale and will go to an acquaintance as a gift. Due to this, I do not think I am bending any franchise rules or infringing upon any copywrites. If you have a different opinion, please let me know..

Wolf Portrait
Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.
It's been a looong time since I've painted a wolf. I followed the same procedure as with the May 21st post of the cow (below). The paint is good and thick where it is intended to simulate the fur texture. I'm happy with the outcome...hope you are too.

Had a good time with this one...it was a bit tedious with the feather patterns, though. I really piled on the paint for his wattle...the red around the beak. Hope y'all enjoy it.

Cow Portrait
Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.
I really like how this one came out. First of all, I covered the panel with black gesso warmed with a little red acrylic. The colors come alive and "pop" from the very first strokes. Secondly, I didn't over blend the colors with brush strokes in one spot...I laid the color down and moved on. Third, in areas of accent or highlight, I placed a loaded brush stroke and let it alone.
I hope y'all like it!
This one just sold to great lady in Irvine, CA...Thanks!

Indian Rhino
This is oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel. I first covered the surface with black gesso with a few streaks of Carribean Blue acrylic blended in. I'm pretty happy with this result mainly because I decided at the last moment to put a light vibrant background around the head area. I feel it adds spark to the composition. Hope you like it.
Thanks to Anne who hosted the WDE this week at Wet Canvas. She graciously supplied the reference photo from which this painting was done.

This was painted from a photo that I came across. I was taken with the vibrant color of the Fall landscape. The composition also appealed to me. Hope it all appeals to you...thanks for looking.
For some unknown reason(to me), my email link has stopped working. Gotta try to figure it out.

Shark
Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
One thing about it....sharks raise an emotion amongst their human viewers. How perfectly they are adapted to what they must do...sheer power...primitive beauty and gracefulness...fear. They go back further than the dinosaurs...400 million years! They deserve their place on this earth without the threat of extinction at the hands of man. I say live and let live. If they stay out of my pool, I'll stay out of their ocean.

Lab Pup
Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
First, I coated the surface with black gesso tinted with pthalo blue. It's a pleasure to paint against the dark ground. I used a painting knife and brush.
I was asked by several folks what my palette was for this....Permalba white, Alizarin crimson, Ultra. blue, Yellow ochre, and Burnt sienna. The lavenders that you see were from ultr. blue & alizarin crimson. The greens are from ultra. blue & yellow ochre.

Spring Robin
Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
Here's one of those paintings that sit around the studio that won't stop talking to you....well in this case, whistling to you. It just kept saying, "Aw, come on. Don't be so lazy. just a couple of brush strokes will brighten me up. I'm ready to leave this nest and spread my wings on eBay!"Hmmmm...maybe I don't get out enough...heh.
This is oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel. I used a lot of dark in this one in order to accentuate the light. I used a painting knife where I could, and tried to avoid unnecessary detail. The paint is applied thickly for texture where appropriate. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed painting it.

Blue and Gold Macaw
Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.
For this one I painted on top of black gesso. I like how I easily get inspiring color right away. I used both a painting knife and a brush, my goal being to simulate the texture of the feathers.
The photo of this Blue and Gold Macaw was graciously supplied by Cheryl for the WDE at Wet Canvas.
