Little Buddy Oil Painting Pet Portrait Art Miniature Donkey Burro Farm Animal

Oil on Canvas, 10" x 8" x 3/4".
Miniature donkeys still have their thick winter coats at this time of year. Lots of currying is needed to make this little guy slick for the summer. His mane and ears can be trimmed too, but I sometimes prefer the fuzzy look. The 3/4' sides are painted making it ready to hang without framing if desired.

This variety of sunflower, named "Lemon Eclair", is definitely different from the traditional sunflower that I usually paint and so it was a challenge and some fun at the same time. The profuse yellow petals surrounding the smaller dark center are spikey and fluffy. Lemon sunflowers make their own statement I believe.

Surprised Teddy Love Bear Oil Painting Childrens Christmas Toy Present Gift Art

Oil on canvas, 9" x 7".

This little Luv Bear was a Christmas gift from a few years ago and I was inspired to paint him in one of the many different personalities that I see in him.  Here he has his surprised or startled expression that I find very endearing.  He's kind of a cool guy actually.  The fact that he is extremely squeezable doesn't hurt either!  Along with capturing his expression, I was excited about painting his furry body and red sweater falling into shadow.

I so enjoy painting "wild- looking" felines like Maine Coon cats.  They might be wild in appearance but they are actually very personable and gentle.  We have been feeding and giving shelter to a stray cat who has many of these same features as the one in my painting but without the long hair.  She has shown her thankfulness by bringing us two gophers. She's earning her keep!

Bathed in Sunlight Oil Painting Pet Art Manx Cat

Oil on hardboard, 7" x 6".

I've photographed this orange Manx cat several times and this pose had her bathed in bright sunlight with most of her face in shadows. This allowed for interesting cooler tones appearing in the white nose and fur. I don't know if I really achieved what I had envisioned capturing in the painting, but there is something there I like and which captures my imagination. A little mystery in a portrait is fun.

Pumpkin Gourd Oil Painting Still Life Art Ornamental Fall Garden Autumn

Oil on canvas, 6" x 8"

I usually buy a sack of miniature, mulit-colored gourds for painting inspiration in the fall.  This time I chose a solid orange one to paint.  I guess you'd call it a dimply, pimply, pumpkin gourd.  (I think gourds are in the pumpkin family but they're not good for eating).  This little orange guy had interesting protrusions to play with in paint.  I like to paint subjects in a light that produces a shadow that includes complimentary colors along with the color of the object that I'm painting.
