This is Rudy the Rooster who lives with my friend Cindy, she says that Rudy is a little too vocal. My daughter thought that Fancy Pants would be a good name since he is so colourful.

Today was a cow day, always my go to. I have been doing commissions lately so it is nice to get back to just painting with no second guessing which I always seem to do when I am working on a commission.

GARDEN PATROL

6 x 8 inch
oil on 1/8th inch gessobord
$65.00

I got this photo from morgue file which is a site with thousands of photos which you are free to use.  When I enlarged the photo it became quite blurry but I loved composition and the great big deer ears.  I actually really enjoyed doing this painting with so little detail and just adding my own.

AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A...

oil on 1/8th inch gessobord

This is Puddles, I met him while shopping  last month, he was sitting on his owners lap very comfortably.  Puddles is a rescue dog and now lives in the lap of luxury.  I loved how the light was shining on him, wonderful to paint.

Well it is #3 painting of the Victoria house, I decided to do the tree with no leaves, I like the simplicity of this painting, just blocks of colour.

TOTALLY TURQUOISE

8 x 6 inches

They say that if you paint the same subject over and over you will improve your skills. I decided to paint another one of my Victoria house. Tomorrow I will paint it again, unless of course something else peaks my interest.

VISION IN VIOLET

8 x 6 inch
oil on gessobord
SOLD

I took the photo for this house last year in my favourite city, Victoria. The colour of the house was white but I decided to make it violet.  We are having many days of grey so I wanted to spice things up a little, I also liked how the golds and yellows complemented the violet.

Cow 97 SENSITIVE SALLY

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch gessobord
$50.00

This is another painting from the pictures I took at the farm I visited, all of the calves had separate stalls, this one was the most curious although quite shy. Also she was so beautiful and new, her eyes so shiny...such a sweet girl.
