This is my dog Gracie who I have painted many times.  She has the most lovely personality,  she will place her paw ever so gently on you if she wants attention.  This is the expression that is always on her face.

This little doll is a rescue kitten who was adopted last year.   I love the composition of this picture and how her little head is tilted just so.  I enjoy painting pictures where there is not very much background...very effective.

These flowers are from my friends garden,  she had come to pick the plums from our tree and thanked me with this beautiful bouquet.

I was at the market a couple of weeks ago and this dog was just sitting patiently waiting for his owner to finish shopping.  It was as if he knew I was taking his picture.  I wanted to keep the painting fairly soft with just a hint of darks.  I am pleased with it.

This was another dog day.  This is Abby, I have painted her before.  Her face is so full of expression.  On this painting I slowed down a little and was more careful where I placed my brush strokes.

I was on vacation for a week and did not pick up my paint brush.  I had every intention of taking hundreds of pictures...not a one was snapped.  Sometimes it's just good to do absolutely nothing productive.

I headed to my studio this morning and started perusing my photos...Baxter was the one.   This is a very loose painting, not much detail.  I seem to be using brighter colours, a little more freedom.  I enjoyed painting this.
