Boomer Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Portraits Miniature Schnauzer Commission

Oil on stretched canvas 8" x 10" x 3/4".

Boomer was a commissioned piece from a while back.  I liked his ears and messy, under-cover expression.  This breed is so sweet I think!

Cape Glossy Starling Oil Painting Bir Art Fowl Wildlife Exotic

Oil on canvas hardboard, 6" x 8".

This bird is a glossy starling and is a South African native.  It was a playful painting for me.  The  striking blue-green metallic feathers along with his yellow eyes were intriguing.  And the best part was his quirky shadow!  These starlings are frequent visitors to gardens and feeders where they live.

Rose Bouquet Oil Still Life Flower Vase Garden Impressionist Red Pink Purple

Oil on canvas panel, 12" x 9".

This painting is from a few years ago and was sold to one my most wonderful collectors.  Thanks, Lynn!
I'm exploring new approaches to flower painting with an impressionist feel and I like the way in which these roses and vase came together as a painting. I kept the brushstrokes simple and the colors seem to vibrate with the gold tones throughout the pinks and purples. I also used thicker paint in describing the shapes of the leaves and blooms.

Sally Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Portraits Daschund Commission

Oil on stretched canvas, 10" x 8"

Sally is a chocolate Daschund and I think she looks stunning in the sunlight surrounded by greenery in this painting.  She's a curious dog and has fun both inside and out.  The heart-shaped leaves of the vines in her yard made a nice background for her portrait.

Red Onions and Garlic Oil Still Life Painting Organic Vegetables Kitchen Art Glass Bottle

Oil on canvas hardboard, 10" x 8"

I really wanted the title of the painting to include "green bottle" but that would be too long I thought.  The things I enjoyed were the strong light falling across the onions and garlic and also the many reflections and shapes in the green glass bottle.  This was definitely a fun piece, but it was one of those paintings that I feel I had included too many details and wasn't what I had envisioned when I started.

Begonia Blooms Oil Painting Flower Art Still Life Botanical Garden

Watercolor on watercolor canvasboard, 8.75" x 11".

I kept watch over my begonia bulb after planting it in a pot and made sure it received plenty of shade so that I could finally enjoy its beautiful leaves and blooms.  My attention to it paid off with these delicately-colored flowers.  I decided to paint them in watercolor on the watercolor canvas I've been experimenting with for some time.  The watercolor paint can be applied in puddle-like forms to make the shapes of the composition which I find interesting.  And many layers can be built up if  I'm careful not to disturb the layers underneath with a heavy hand.  I sprayed the painting with clear acrylic so that it doesn't need to be framed under glass like watercolors on paper must be framed.

Bee Among Azaleas Oil Painting Flower Art Still Life Garden Honey Bee Insects

Oil on canvas hardboard, 9" x 12"

An artist friend photographed a wonderful image of a bee busy at work on a cluster of pink azalea petals.  It became one of many challenge images to paint in our artist group.  The mediums used were oil, watercolor and colored pencil.  This oil painting was my contribution.  I love the translucent wings of the bee covering the azalea bloom.  I still haven't painted the bowl of lemons that the others have finished.

Aussie Portrait Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Portraits Australian Shepherd

Oil on canvas hardboard, 6" x 8"

Australian Shepherds are definitely easy on the eye and fun to paint for me as a dog admirer.  Their eyes are startling, yes, but what I really like are their folded ears which perk up when they are interested in something or someone.  I had a great time with the grays, whites, black, browns, and the overlapping of all of them in this piece.

Radish Family Oil Still Life Painting Vegetable Garden Organic Kitchen Art

Oil on hardboard, 10" x 8"

I liked the feeling of movement that I saw with the radish tails and their leafy tops in my arrangement of these fresh radishes.  I grow different types for a variety of colors and shapes.  It's a wonder to me how painting simple food subjects seems to be so satisfying.

Basset Fenced In Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Portraits Hound

Oil on canvas hardboard, 10" x 8"

This piece was painted from one of several photos I took of the wandering hound, Molly, when she was lost for a time from her home.  Here she is behind a neighbor's fence waiting for her family to fetch her.  She gave me her friendly expression, or maybe it was a pleading one to be let out.  Bassets are full of wonderful expressions and always interesting to me.

Oil on canvas hardboard, 7" x 7"

I've been painting small studies of sunflowers for a larger still life painting with many sunflowers that I'm working on in my studio.  This was one of my favorites so far.  I love its energy and light as well as the large leaf shapes of the flower.

Avocado No.3 Oil Painting Vegetable Art Still Life Garden

Oil on hardboard panel, 8" x 6"

The flesh of an avocado is one of my favorite things to eat and it also makes for a rich subject to paint.  I delight in the color and the thick, creamy form that it makes inside of the skin.  Of course, the large pit remains a center of interest along with the flesh when I paint this fruit that tastes like a vegetable.  Yum!

Lacy Gladiolus Oil Painting Flower Sword Lilly Art Still Life Botanical Garden

Oil on canvas hardboard, 8" x 6"

This was my first home-grown Gladiolus and also my first painting of one.  I decided to paint the bloooms close-up and as more of a series of shapes in sunlight and shade rather than complete flowers.  This is what seemed to appeal to me as I observed them.  I may decide to paint them in more of a traditional manner also!  I didn't know that Glads are in the Iris family and are sometimes called Sword Lillies.

Golden Summer Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Portraits Golden Retriever

Oil on canvas hardboard, 5" x 7"

This little painting of a Golden's head backlit with bright sunlight was a fun piece to play with.  The shadows were colorful and exciting.  I painted them the way I saw them and am happy with it!  I'm always looking for subjects with great shadows.

Sonny Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Portraits Yorkie Yorkshire Terrier Silky

Oil on canvas hardboard, 8" x 6"

I wanted to capture this little guy's expression and his flowing locks of hair.  And I really had fun with his flipped-up tongue and tiny teeth.  Many of these terriers have an underbite but I don't think this one has.  Yorkies are bright-eyed and eager to please (if you don't spoil them too much!)  I know from exprience.

Don't Bother the RoosterOil Painting Chicken Art Farm Animal Bird Portrait

Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 10"

This rooster was captured from behind and I like his concerned expression and ruffled tail feathers.  It was painted from a great photo I used from wetcanvas.com.  I can't imagine that it was an easy photo to take from this angle but I love it!  There were lots of possibilities for titles for this one.  I'm sure you can think of some!  I'd like to hear them too.

Bearded Irisis Oil Painting Still Life Flower Art Floral Garden

Oil on stretched back-stapled canvas 10" x 8" x 3/4"

These hybrid bearded Irises were given to me as rhizomes a few years ago and they were such beautiful surprises when they bloomed! Rich, multi-toned petals seemed to be lit from within by the sun and their bright yellow centers. I felt like pushing and reinforcing the stain-glassed appearance of these flowers. I enjoyed playing with the color and it left me wanting to do more.
Thanks for looking!
