Garden Radishes Oil Painting Still Life Art Vegetables Garden Organic

Oil on Raymar panel, 8" x 6".

I changed my palette of colors a bit to paint these attractive radishes and came up with some new mixtures for greens and grays.  I'm still debating the look, but it felt like a good change while I was in the process.  The beautiful color patterns of radishes always make me smile anyway.

Pasture Foal Oil Painting Horse Portrait Farm Animal Art Pet Equine

Oil on Raymar panel, 5" x 7".

It is such a simple subject to paint and the form is so beautiful in its simplicity.  A young foal is lying with his long, skinny legs tucked neatly underneath him and this presents a calm and reflective pose to me.  The sun feels so good!  Especially in the winter.

Boxed Pears Oil Painting Fruit Art Still Life Organic Food Kitchen

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8".

Three pears in my paintbox spoke to me for the New Year ahead.  They were a roudy bunch but we did have some fun!  I liked their plump shapes posing for me against the straight lines of the compartments of the paintbox.

Red Jeep Oil Painting Car Art Antique Sport Utility Vehicle

A friend's husband acquired an older Jeep to work on for fun and I wanted to paint it when I spied it in her driveway.  It's strange for me to have a compulsion to paint a vehicle!

Mini Schnauzer Oil Painting Pet Portrait Animal Commission Art Dog

Watercolor on Arches watercolor paper, 11" x 9".

Schnauzer are amazing dogs to paint, especially in watercolor I believe.  In this medium I can showcase their characteristic "haircuts".   This girl's eye shines from beneath her bushy eyebrow and her profile is so attractive.  I'm very happy that I could finish this particular commissioned portrait before Christmas.

Christmas Puppy Oil Painting Pet Portrait Animal Art Golden Retriever Puppy

Oil on hardboard, 6" x 8".

Puppies are sometimes the cutest when they're a little tired and starry-eyed I think.  This young Golden Retriever puppy looks tuckered out but happy.  Maybe she's trying to stay awake and not miss any fun.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season!

Westie Takes a BreakOil Painting Pet Dog Art Portrait West Highland Terrier

Oil on canvas panel, 8" x 6".

Christmas Sale! This cute Westie is taking a short break but will be ready for more play and action soon. She just needs to catch her breath! She probably does a lot of sliding on the wood floors also when chasing a favorite toy.  The painting would make a nice gift for someone who is owned by a Westie.  If you'd like to commission a painting please contact me.

Christmas Wreath Welcome Oil Painting Still Life Art Red Door Home Holiday Decorations Architecture

Oil on stretched canvas, 10" x 8".
The 3/4" sides are painted making it ready to hang without frame if desired.

I had some fun with a decorated red door.  The different shades of red/orange for the lighted and shaded areas of the door were luscious to paint and interesting to discover.  Wanting to keep it simple, I felt free to just imply the wreath and ribbon.  The light was most important!  Puts me in the Christmas spirit too.

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.
