Going to Saltspring

6 x 8 inch
oil on panel
SOLD

I have had a week of painting and wiping, nothing was going right.  I would have all the best intentions and a plan for what I wanted to paint and then after about an hour or two each day I would wipe everything.

I went through all of my pictures, I needed inspiration.  I had taken this photo when we were going to Saltspring island for the day.  This little sweetie was sitting in the back of the car that was in front of us waiting patiently, I love the red bandana, it was as if her people had dressed her up for the trip.

Olive

SOLD

This is Olive, the perfect name.  This is a commission for a woman who I met last summer.  When she sent me the photos of Olive I was so excited to paint her.  Olive has so much personality in her looks.

This is a commission I did for a friend, her lovely dog Bailey passed away. 

Cow 31...black and white

I really enjoyed painting this cow,  I am trying to use less strokes.  Still loving the limited palette.

Was it something I did?

Little big man

Another commission, how cute is this dog but with a serious side.  As usual black is a challenge to paint for me. I used turquoise blue for the under painting.
