Still Water and Heron Oil Bird Art Wildlife Paintings Wetlands Blue Pond

Oil on stretched canvas, 10" x 8" x 3/4".

We see blue herons near the wetlands where I live in Arkansas and I've tried several times to get photos of one before it leaves the scene and I've had no luck. But a friend captured one beautifully and I painted this heron from her photo. It was such a serene setting with the big bird in the still, shallow water which reflected the lovely blue sky. The bright sunlight made deep, interesting shadows and I knew I wanted to paint it. Thanks, Jeanette!

Blue Jay in Winter Oil Bird Art Wildlife Paintings Backyard

Oil on canvas board, 9" x 7".

Blue Jays puff themselves out in the winter because of the cold. This guy made a lovely subject to paint and I included some red holly berries for more of a winter atmosphere. When I finished, he seemed to glow among the greenery. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! I wish to thank all of my wonderful collectors who have corresponded with me, shared my love of art, and purchased my paintings for themselves or others in the last few years. Daily Painters has been a great experience for me to share my work!

Buster Oil Pet Art Portraits Welsh Corgi Dog Painting

Oil on stretched canvas, 11" x 14" x 3/4".

Buster, a Welsh Corgi-mix, was a sweet boy and also a very handsome dog to paint. He was found abandoned and taken in by my brother who took care of his epilectic needs and loved him for several years. He passed away this year and is greatly missed. He was a wonderful dog!

Blue Hydrangeas Oil Still Life Flower Fall Spring Painting Blue Garden

Oil on stretched canvas, 20" x 16".

Large, fluffy hydrangea blooms in a vase were drenched with sunlight from a window above. These were some of my hydrangeas at their best color when I photographed them a few years ago. I enjoyed painting the blooms, but I loved painting the shadows on the table and vase!

Upward Oil Still Life Flower Jacobs Coat Rose Summer Fall

Oil on masonite board, 10" x 8".

Roses are wonderful to paint and this painting is one of my favorite climbing roses. A Jacob's Coat rose has a luscious combination of deep yellow, orange, and red tones. It is eye candy for someone like me who loves these color changes! I hope that others enjoy it too. Then the circle of painting fine art is complete.

Golden Christmas Puppy Oil Pet Art Portraits Retriever Dog Red Green Painting

Oil on Raymar panel, 6" x 8".

Red, green and Golden Retriever pup! Lots of paint and color went into this little portrait of a Golden puppy. I've had the privilege of painting many dogs at this time of year for commissioned portraits and I wanted to include my own little idea of a Christmas puppy.

Bearded Pink Iris Oil Still Life Flower Fall Spring Bulbs Painting Green

Oil on stretched canvas, 16" x 8" x 3/4".

I thought that some of the Irises that I photographed seemed like pink gems so that is how I painted them. They have lush tones with dramatically flowing petals. They are contrasted nicely by the thick greenery of the leaves and stalks. The barely opened buds are held high on strong stems with these Bearded Irises.

Silhouette Oil Pet Art Portraits Cat Window Red Shadows Fluffy

Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 10" x 3/4".

This is an earlier animal portrait of mine. I painted this multi-colored fluffy cat on a windowsill with his shadow falling on a table covered with a red cloth. I loved the composition and controlling the values for this one. This pose is very "cat-like" and he has the comfortable attitude of a cat allowing humans to also live in his home.

Unfolding Magnolia Bloom Oil Still Life Flower Southern Magnolia Tree

Oil on stretched canvas, 8" x 10" x 3/4".

This is the second painting of this southern magnolia bloom with leaves that was done from an indoor photoshoot of a lovely bloom from one of my trees earlier this year. The creamy-white petals are painted in the interesting shapes they make as they unfold. They also bounce around the reflected cast shadow colors of the glossy green leaves. I think they make very interesting subjects for botanical still lifes!

Red Currants Watercolor Still Life Flower Fruit Berries Cherry Grapes

Watercolor on Arches, 12" x 9".

Clusters of cherry red currants growing on the vine painted in transparent watercolors is my painting for today. I've been going back and forth between watercolors and oils and I don't know what that means except that it's been interesting. I love the qualities of both I guess. "Hidden passages" can be made in watercolors and that's a fun and mysterious thing.

This was a reposting of a painting from last winter. I've been busy with new florals coming soon and also some commissions.If you'd like a commissioned painting contact me. Thanks for visiting!

Girl with Silver Earrings Oil Portrait Figure Live Female Model People

Oil on stretched canvas, 14" x 11".

The model in my portrait class recently, Julie, was lovely and had great earrings along with a small braid in her hair. The green sweater was also an asset to the painting. It's always a learning experience when working quickly from a live model and translating the information to canvas.

Mister Pig Oil Pet Art Portraits Pink Farm Animal Porky

Oil on stretched canvas, 9" x 7".

What did I do after Thanksgiving? I painted a pig. It's kind of a cute pig if you appreciate their looks in general. If not, you won't think he's cute at all. The most challenging part was painting his nose and ears and making them have that pink, rubbery appearance. Now, it's back to painting flowers again.

Red Hibiscus Oil Tropical Hibiscus Flower Garden Landscape

Oil on stretched canvas, 20" x 16" x 3/4".

I reworked my hibiscus painting when I realized I liked it much better in this vertical format. Tropical and enticing hibiscus blooms, buds and foliage in a large painting and ready to hang. I painted these red/orange blooms with an eye for the shadows on their petals made by the large stamens. Happy Thanksgiving!

Greener Pastures Oil Holstein Dairy Cow Pet Art Portraits Farm Animals

Oil on stretched canvas, 12" x 16" x 3/4".

This painting of a black and white cow resting her head on a rock wall fence is an older painting of mine that I hadn't yet posted to my blog. I remember thinking that even cows long for greener or better pastures when their own are just as green. Or maybe they just want to explore the unknown and this I can also understand.
The painted staple-free sides of the canvas make framing optional as it can be hung as is if desired.

Wildfowers in Blue Vase Oil Still Life Daisy Flower Garden Yellow Impressionist

Oil on cradle board, 12" x 9" x 1".

The sunlight flooding down from above on these wildflowers made an exciting pattern on the blue vase and the white surface of the table. I was interested in the vibration between the light and shadow shapes and the colors of the back-lit petals produced from the strong light source in this painting. The 1 inch sides of the cradle board are painted so framing is optional.

Hang Over Oil Dog Pet Art Portraits Jack Russell Terrier

Oil on stretched canvas, 12" x 9" x 3/4".

My painting of this playful young Jack Russell Terrier on her back and head hanging from a chair was included in the juried competition, Art Show at the Dog Show, in Wichita, KS earlier this year. JRTs are so expressive at any given time and I liked the challenge of painting this little dog in what is maybe one of the terriers' favorite positions.
The painting is on gallery-wrapped canvas with the sides painted.

Chewy Oil Lop Eared Rabbit Pet Art Farm Animals Wildlife

Oil on stretched canvas, 14" x 11" x 3/4".

This was a commissioned portrait of a Lop Eared rabbit named Chewy, and I painted him busy doing one of his favorite things on a colorful gift. He is described as a wonderful family pet. I surely would enjoy petting his ears and holding him. I don't know what my dogs and cat would think about it if I had one of these cute rabbits though.

Nasturtium Jewels Oil Fall Still Life Garden Flowers Mixed Colors

Oil on canvas board, 8" x 10" x 3/4".

These nasturtiums were welcoming our cooler weather and showing their bright, mulit-colored blooms and vining out on my patio. The plants seem to just barely hang on during the long, hot months and then come to life again as most other flowers are dying back. I placed them in small tea strainer to paint them. I think their round-ish shaped leaves are also very attractive. I intended to keep this still life looser than usual as I am experimenting with different approaches to subjects. This painting has staple-free sides that are painted if you'd like to hang it unframed.

Country Blue Rooster Oil Rooster Pet Art Portraits Chicken Farm Animals

Oil on stretched canvas, 12" x 9" x 3/4".

I think the color combinations in this painting of a blue/black/white rooster work well. The green and yellow colors of the background compliment the red wattle and comb of the rooster and I liked the effect of bringing the white top feathers down and over the compact dark blue body feathers. The painted staple-free sides of the canvas make framing optional as it can be hung as is if desired.
