Sprinkled Chocolate Donut Oil Painting Still Life Art Food Doughnut Kitchen Coffee Bakery

Oil on canvas, 7" x 9".

I appreciate the shine on a chocolate glazed donut after painting this one.  The rich chocolate color is dense with a wonderful reddish-brown in places.  The hole of the donut is a mysterious sphere that draws me in.  The sprinkles on top are playful and have their own voices.

Growing Violets Oil Painting Still Life Art Flowers Botanical Floral House Plant African

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8".

My African Violets have been perking up and showing their "faces" recently and I painted them illuminated from sunlight streaming through the window.  I like their large soft, fuzzy leaves which fan out in all directions while protecting the delightful purple/blue flowers inside.

Cow Pony Resting Oil Painting Horse Art Portrait Farm Animals Equine

Oil on Canvas, 9" x 12"

This was a working cowboy's horse at a fun local event.  He was in the lead ahead of a covered wagon offering rides to event goers.  He took a break here and was enjoying the attention of many fans around him.  His closed eyes reminded me of gentleness and calm.  I loved his unusual and beautiful face and was especially attracted to the golden mane.

Daffodil Dance Watercolor Flower Art Still Life Botanica Floral

Watercolor on Arches, 13" x 9".

The fresh and transparent appearance of watercolors are great when painting flowers and I wanted these daffodills to burst out with color and movement. I also used pen and ink lines to define the flowers, stems and leaves. Leaving parts of the petals and much of the background white lends a crispness to the painting I think.

Young Redhead Oil Painting Art Portraits People Figure Girl

Oil on canvas, 12 x 9"

I wanted to capture this attractive pose of a girl with beautiful hair.  And I tried to paint her simply but also expressively.  The different shapes that made up the whole form of the figure were interesting and kept me engaged and enthusiastic about the outcome.  That's always a great feeling!

Face to Face Oil Chicken Art Portraits Farm Animal Rooster

Oil on canvas, 8" x 6".

Chickens and roosters are either a little scary or very comical when viewed straight on depending on what the viewer feels.  I don't have an opinion myself.  I'm still considering it from both sides when I look at my own painting here.  But I'm sure I like the subject's energy!

Noble Oil Dog Pet Art Portraits Golden Retriever

Oil on canvas, 9" x 7".

I had a great time playing with the lights and shadows on this beautiful Golden who was squinting in the sun and obviously enjoying herself.  A nice warm day in the fall is always appreciated by nature lovers.  Her "contentedness" was what I wanted to capture in paint.

I'm Listening Watercolor Dog Pet Art Portraits Chihuahua

Watercolor on Arches, 8.5" x 10"

This dog has sunk into her comfy fleece bed and looks like she's ready for a story. I really enjoy working with watercolors to create a sense of mystery with light and shadow. The biggest challenge with watercolors, that many artists know, is the frustration of ruining the beautiful white paper and not being able to fix the problem (save the painting!) as you can with an oil painting.

Frisbee Dog Oil Herding Dog Pet Art Portraits Border Collie

Oil on canvas, 8" x 10".

This Border Collie was one of several talented dogs catching frisbees at a balloon festival in Oklahoma.  All of the dogs were really interesting to watch, but a particular dog was more intense and hyper than the rest I thought.  I took several photos of him and I loved the stance I caught him in. Unfortunately he wasn't very successful at getting a frisbee before one of the other dogs did.  He never stopped trying though!

Spanky and Lilly Oil Yorkie Dog Pet Art Portraits Yorkshire Terrier Commission

Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 10".

It's hard to contain the personalities and intelligence of these two little sweeties I'm sure, but I did combine their faces on one canvas.  Yorkies are a flurry of blue-grey, tan, red-tan, black, and then grey again.  Their coats are their shining glory!  But their eyes are what steal hearts I think.
