Everything pretty in this little painting, the oranges and pinks just delightful to paint...such a great colour combination.

PRETTY IN GREEN

6 x 8 inch
oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

I haven't painted a bunny for awhile...today was the day.  I started this painting extra loose and just dragged the brush every which way for the body.  I find if I get too detailed with fur it doesn't work well.

I took the photo of this dog while we were away, he was sitting very contentedly with his owner, I was just getting ready to take the picture when he spotted another dog...so much for posing for the camera.

EVERYTHING WONDERFUL

8 x 8 inches
oil on 1/8th inch premium canvas board
SOLD

I started this painting with a rust underpainting, I love the warmth that it created as I added colour to the canvas.  It was so nice to get back to painting after not doing any for two weeks.

HELLO LADIES

6 x 6 inch
oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
$60.00

I took the photo of this handsome lad at the ferry lineup in Nanaimo, I thought his expression was great and loved all the folds and curves of his face.  I started with a burnt umber wash and spent more time than usual sketching out all the details of his face.   Once I started adding the paint it kind of fell into place.  I find that the more time I spend on the initial sketch the happier I am with the finished product.

SIMPLE PLEASURES

I started this painting with a transparent red canvas, I like how you can see glimpses of the colour under the blues and golds.  

MISS CONGENIALITY

oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
$60.00

My second painting of this very photogenic cow, she has so many great poses.  I used a different brush than I usually use same size just much longer bristles...challenging, it is amazing how differently you paint by just changing your brush.

YO MAMA

oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

I have had this photo for awhile and wasn't sure about painting all the soft colours on the goat and the background.  I am pleased with the outcome.

I enjoyed painting this photo, just colour blocking with a few details and voila.

Cow 120 CHERRY BLOSSOM

6 x 8 inch

oil on 1/8th inch gesso board
SOLD

Todays cow I have painted before, I cropped the image differently so more of the body was showing. I chose a pink background because right now all of the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom...the most wonderful pink everywhere...pink was on my mind.
