"Alexis & Ivan"

One more puppy before Christmas. 

This is a commission 12" X 14". Watercolour on Arches 300lb. CP paper.

It looks like they are having a wonderful time. 

I love the Boxer because they enjoy so much 

being with their people and playing. 

They actually think they are human. 

We won't tell them otherwise. :)
Shhhh!!

"Izzy"

"Mali"

This is Mali. She is a recent commission from a lady who wanted to give Mali's owner, her sister, a special gift for Christmas. Mali has passed on to the 'Rainbow Bridge" this year. I very much enjoyed painting this beautiful pup and had real a sense of her spirit as we worked. She was most likely a gentle sweet girl, I believe. When doing a dog commission, I like to paint the eyes first.

This way, Mali could participate in the process and keep me company as we worked.

I love my job. :)

This is watercolour on Arches 300lb. CP paper. 19" X 27". 

"Eddie the Third"

This would be the 3rd version of this fabulous animal. I painted him facing the other way in watercolour and then in acrylic and now watercolour again. Each version is quite different. I suppose it would be safe to say this is my favourite model thus far. Transparent watercolour on Arches 300lb. cold pressed. 

"Jenny"

This is Jenny. A new puppy portrait of a lovely girl. Sadly Jenny passed on just a short time ago. I'm hopeful this painting captured Jenny's personality and will be forever a gentle reminder of a loving  companion. 

"Reba and friend"

A new puppy portrait of two cuddly Boxer puppies. 

They must be best friends. 

Watercolour on Arches 300lb. CP paper. 12" X 16" 

"Bronte"

This is Bronte. A lovely Beagle belonging to a fellow in Australia.  I've been fairly busy lately with dog portraits and have a few more to finish, hopefully before August. This little girl took a while for me to complete because i was just not able to see a finished image clearly for some reason. Today it happened and we had a grand time together. I asked little Bronte to lead the way and she did! The rest as they say is, "history". Watercolor on Arches 300 lb. cold pressed paper. 18" X 18".

"Tyra"

A wee Boxer pup i did for a friend who does great and wonderful work for Boxer Rescue Canada.
She does not have this little girl anymore as she has already lived her life and left a lot of broken hearts behind as is often the case. Watercolor, on Arches, 300lb. CP paper. approximately 10" X 14". 

"Deja"

I painted this little girl for a friend. Sadly she is no longer with us. In memory of Deja.

Watercolour on Arches C/P paper. 10" X 14".

"Boomer"

What a great name for a dog, especially a Bernese Mountain dog. This fine fellow is a commission requested by the dog owner's Mother for her birthday. Hope she likes it! Acrylic on canvas. 18" X 24".

"Tega"

I had donated a pet portrait to "Boxer Rescue Canada" for their Fall auction fundraiser and the winning bidder receives a portrait of their beloved dog. This boy belonged to the lady who won the auction. He is a pure bread male Boxer named Tega. He is no longer with us. I used a photo she provided. This is watercolour on 300 lb. Arches C/P paper approximately 18" X 22" .
