Feather Dance Oil Painting Portrait Farm Animal Art Rooster

Oil on stretched canvas, 14" x 11".

While thinking about a new year starting as many people are, I followed an impulse to loosen up with color and bolder strokes.  A rooster or chicken painting is a great way to express this feeling.  So, this guy is really strutting his stuff, showing his colors and lovin' it!  I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

Table Rock Lake Oil Painting Landscape Summer Branson Ozark Mountains Commission

Oil on hardboard, 8" x 10"

I enjoyed this commissioned painting!  It is the view from a collector's deck on Table Rock lake in southwest Missouri, near Branson.  It will be a gift for her husband and I hope he likes it too.  The lake's reflections are still and serene.

Two Basenjis Oil Painting African Dog Art Pet Portrait Commission

Oil on hardboard, 8" x 10"

Basenji dogs have such distinct features along with intelligent and sometimes comical expressions.  They really are characters when you meet them personally, which I've had the opportunity to do because my friend and neighbor has a cute one!  They are described as "barkless dogs", but they can make a bark-like sound if they really want to.

Young Hunter Oil Painting Pet Portrait Animal Art Golden Retriever Puppy

Oil on hardboard, 8" x 6".

Backlit by the morning sun, this young Golden Retriever sees something interesting.  I enjoyed using the subdued colors of her fur in shadow.  Her intense concentration seems to be in contrast to her still puppy-like features I think.  And that's just another interesting part of this painting that I wanted to explore.

Friendly Burro Oil Painting Donkey Art Pet Portrait Commission

Oil on stretched canvas, 14" x 11"

This was a commissioned painting of a furry burro with a sweet, intelligent gaze.  Donkeys' ears are so interesting because they are ridiculously long and floppy.  I also love the fuzzy humps on their foreheads which are nice for scratching and rubbing.

Red D'Anjou Pears Oil Painting Still Life Miniature Art Fruit

Oil on hardboard, 5" x 5".

I love to paint the red and yellow colors of D'Anjou pears, and this petite painting captures them at their shiny best.  Pears together always have great "body language".  I chose to use dramatic lighting to highlight this pair.

Montezuma's Castle Oil Painting Landscape Desert Western Sedona Arizona Ancient Ruins

Oil on hardboard, 8" x 10"
The colors and shadows of these ancient dwellings were fascinating to paint.  My daughter recently visited Arizona with a friend from Phoenix. I asked her to take lots of pictures and she did!  I chose this subject first because of the colors and also the feeling of forms within forms going back into space.  Montezuma's Castle is a National Monument near Flagstaff and is actually misnamed  by early settlers because Montezuma was never there.  It is one of the best preserved cliff dwellings in North America.

Purple and White Viola Oil Painting Still Life Flower Art botanical

Oil on stretched canvas, 7" x 5" x 3/4".

Lovely and cheerful violas come back every spring in a pot on my front porch and they glow in the sunlight. I painted this single bloom larger than it's real size because the blooms are very small.  I planted an additional patch this fall in the backyard so that I can enjoy even more of their sparkling "faces". 
The 3/4" sides are painted making framing optional.
