New Work

I have been very busy juggling between getting a couple of shows together, illustrating two books, and coming up with a few new paintings. Never a dull moment for sure. Here are three pieces that I just finished recently. Enjoy!

Dog Portraits

I have been very busy at my studio painting dog portraits on rather large canvases. I think they look great when they are hung together in a pack.  It's been fun and interesting studying the characteristics of the different breeds.

New Dress

Finished this piece, and now I am in the process of putting it into a frame. I like the loose feel of this painting with the pencil lines around it. I need to do more like this.

A new piece "Just Bubles"

Got an opportunity to go to my studio this past week between snow storms, to work on a few pieces. I thought it would be fun to work on paper this time. I love the layering effect that occurs on the paper to give the piece dimension. I am also playing around with different color combinations and keeping the palette simple.

New Painting

Finished this painting today with the idea of submitting it into the
Concord Art Association Members Juried I show. It is always difficult to decide which pieces to submit.

You never know what a juror is looking for. Sometimes I get in, and sometimes I don't. I am going to keep my fingers crossed that I get in for this show.
