Wine and Grapes Art Painting

I made the mistake of varnishing this painting before I took the picture so it looks a bit distorted.

Fall Waterfall and Dogs Painting

Did a painting with a fall feel to it. I never intended to put the White Shepherds in this one but somehow I ended up adding them.

Dog and Cat Canvas Painting

Acrylic on Canvas - "Some Days I Just Don't Care"

The Temperamental Iguana Canvas Painting

I keep looking at my daughters Iguana wondering how an animal can stay in one position for such a long time and never move. He looks like a statue with the slightest movement seen on his belly for breathing. He hates to be held and gives you a look of, you better leave me alone or else, then you'll receive a swat from his tail. He's not my kind of pet, I prefer the dogs, but he is a unique subject to paint. Simply Titled: Lizard

A Couple Pieces I am Currently Working on

CLICK ON IMAGES TO VIEW LARGER

Here is the updated piece, I surprised myself going back to this one and retouching it. You can see the changes from the photo below. Of course my daughter is the inspiration behind this painting, I over exaggerated her hair length and features to give it a more mystic feel.

This is the layout for my next piece. I am not sure yet if I will do this in acrylics or pastel. I am leaning more on pastel/colored pencil. Of course this is of my dogs while they were playing with a rope, I didn't get a picture but I did remember in my head how cute they looked so I had to draw them.

This is a 9" x 12" acrylic painting on canvas board. I have been pretty busy and haven't done much to it in a while so I figured I would post it until I get a chance to work some more on it. The colors look flat, but usually once I stop and lose interest with a painting I never go back to it, so it might have to do.

Fox and Cabin Winter Painting

This is an acrylic on canvas painting. Titled "Winter Friend" it measures 9" x 12" and is currently for sale in my Etsy shop. Below is the painting before adding in the fox and other highlights.



Here is the painting after adding the fox.

Gold Finches Bird Painting

Acrylic on canvas panel. These little gold finches were too cute not to paint. I really enjoyed painting them. I'm pretty sure their colors darken a lot in the winter so I didn't add any snow with the brighter yellows added in, although I wanted to.
