Pug Shrug Oil Painting Dog Art Pet Portrait

Oil on canvas, 8" x 6".

I've painted my pug, Mabel many times over the last fifteen years and she always has great expressions.  This painting was done from a photo of her being held by a child and she's looking at the camera like a good model.  I painted only her and she looks like she's shrugging with one shoulder with her fat rolls pushed up to one side. Her expression was either one of great enthusiasm or great superiority I thought!

Denny's September Hibiscus Oil Painting Flower Still Life Botanical Floral Garden

Oil on canvas, 10" x 8".

On a bright, sunny afternoon recently, I saw my friend's potted hibiscus in her yard and had to take a close look.  The yellow blooms were huge and gorgeous!  Her husband is the gardener so the applause all goes to him she said.

Calla Bloom Oil Painting Lilly Still Life Flower Art Botanical Garden

Oil on hardboard panel, 11" x 9"

I'll have to admit that I was inspired to paint a Calla Lilly again after I saw a friend's entry to one of our local art center's annual competitions.  My Calla is different as far as the color of  bloom and background and also hers is a large watercolor and mine is a smaller, intimate oil.  I saw the fun (in my mind) of painting a tall white bloom against a dark background.  Colors bounce around in the light and create interest among the white tones.  The Calla Lilly stalks are sturdy and their blooms display intricate, sensual forms. They always make great subjects to experiment with and learn from .  So, thanks, Jeanette, for reminding me of these beauties!

Daylilly on Doily Oil Painting Flower Still Life Botanical Floral Garden

Oil on hardboard panel, 8" x 8".

I have many variaties of Daylilies and I always enjoy painting them. I chose this pink/purple variety with white ruffled edges for my first subject in a simple jam jar. Their yellowish green centers are really the most attractive features to me. Daylilies deserve being displayed on doilies too!
