"Annie"

A watercolour portrait of Annie. 

This dog was a beautiful show dog and is missed by her owner. 

He commissioned this portrait so he could see her often. 

13" X 17" 

"Jiminy Cricket's Birthday Surprise"

This is our wee rescue dog Jiminy. 

His story is being included in a new book
being published by a group in Kansas City. 

It is a book about animal rescue and is going to be full of stories about animals 

who went from brokenness to forever homes. 

There will be before and after pictures along with their story,
 and a painting of course! 

I am so excited to be able to participate in this worthwhile project. 

This painting is watercolour and is 10" X 13". 

"Cairo and Sophie"

Two new pup portraits for a family who lost them both within a month of one another. 

The first little guy is Cairo and the second one is Sophie. 

I had fun with the backgrounds once i figured out what it was i wanted there. 

Both are acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas. 

24" X 30".  

"Morning Star II"

I've painted this sweet girl a few times now from different angles. 

She is a commission for a lady who wanted her for a special spot in her home. 

I was not sure if it would work using red here for the background because there 

is a fair bit of red in the subject, but i really like the outcome. 

Hopefully the client will agree!

"Qanuk"

A wee painting of my Boxer, Bella when she was a pup. Quanuk means snowflake in Eskimo. I thought it was suitable for our Bella. She now has spots all over her though. When she was a pup she was pure white. This is watercolor, on Arches Cold Pressed paper. 21 " X 23".

A Lovely Couple"

A commission i did recently for some nice folks. They wanted to give this to their grandparents for an anniversary. It was great to be a part of it. Watercolor on Arches 300 lb. Cold Pressed paper.

"Londyn"

This is a painting i did of my nephew and nieces dog, Londyn. A Labradoodle......
It also nicely displays the possibilities for backgrounds and foregrounds. I borrowed a page from the Group of Seven and wrapped some good old Canadian Wilderness around Londyn. It remains one of my favorite paintings...

"Pooperdedoos"

This is the one and only Mr. Pooperdedoos. He has been with us for nearly 12 years now which is amazing for a Boxer. He is also the first dog portrait i did. This painting was done with water soluble oils on canvas.

I am just now trying to get this Blog to look the way i want it and am having some difficulty. I'll also have an updated profile soon with more information on the dog/per portrait side of things.

Hope to see you soon.

God bless,
