I have had this photo for some time, I never am quite sure how to tackle feathers. I fiddled around quite a bit with this painting, I think the background has about 8 layers of paint. I just had to put my brush down and be done.

I took this photo last summer. I am sure this dog was smiling at me.  I find that teeth can be tricky, didn't fuss too much, a couple of strokes and voila there were teeth. I am starting to mix my colours on the canvas more and more, I love the effect.

Always enjoy painting an orange tabby, this was a little tricky as the photo wasn't that clear.  I really like the end result though.

I am so enjoying using gesso to cover large paintings that I was never too fond of, even better is re-using them to play with colour on such a large scale, such a departure from what I usually paint. It is always good to try something new...gets those creative juices flowing even more.

I started this cat and originally was going to wipe it.  I decided to push through and am pleased that I did.  I usually use a more softened colour for my background but decided to throw caution to the wind...love the turquoise/blue against the golds and yellows.
