Studio sale

Work has been piling up at my studio and some of these paintings need to go to new homes! I am offering them here at reasonable prices. They would make great gifts for yourself or someone special. Many of them are miniatures so could fit almost anywhere in the home, on a wall or an easel.

The first little painting is 6 x 8" oil on panel, a headstudy of a blue merle border collie. She was so striking with her color and blue eyes, and so unusual for a border collie, I just had to paint her. Blue Merle Border Collie is priced at $100

Next are two miniatures, 5 x 7", done in watercolor on clayboard. Clayboard watercolors are sprayed with a fixative so there is no need for glass. I offer Produce and Wisteria and each is priced at $75.

Last is an 11 x 15" watercolor on paper, a headstudy of a hunter-jumper with a vivid blue background. The price for this painting is $125.

Wilmington Azaleas juried in to show

I am happy to announce that my oil painting "Wilmington Azaleas" was juried into Wayne County's (NC) 29th Annual National Juried Fine Arts Exhibition. There were over 300 entries and only 54 chosen for the exhibit.

I originally painted this as part of the monthly landscape challenge on the online art community Wet Canvas! I felt it was a good subject for me living in NC and having visited town of Wilmington recently.

On another note, I have a number of new dog prints available, I have been painting like crazy. New breeds include Belgian Terverun, Mini Schnauzer, Smooth Fox Terrier, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier, Whippets, and several others.

Also have been working on an oil portrait for a client in England of her beautiful and rare sighthound, an Azawakh. I will post a photo of it when it is finished.

It's been a while....

since I have posted anything here! I have had a great month of March starting with my much anticipated trip abroad to London and Crufts Dog Show. It was every bit as wonderful as I had hoped. Since returning, I have been working on portraits, filling orders and doing watercolor paintings for new print releases which I have added to my website. Here is a painting I just finished that is going to be auctioned off at the American Whippet Club National Specialty in Oregon. I am not going this year but I will be represented with this and a print that is being offered for Best Brace. Now I am off to the framers to get these two pieces framed.

Art Show at the Dog Show entries

Got my notification today for the art show and two of my pieces were accepted for the exhibition. Yah! Here are the two pieces, the whippet (16 x 20" oil on board) titled "Did You Call?" and the Shetland Sheepdog (20 x 24" oil on canvas) titled "Late Arrival".

Arthur painting finished and a commission too

I am finished with my large oil painting of my whippet Arthur. I love fall colors so that is what I decided to go with. The painting is 30 x 40", the biggest I have done so far. Hope you like it. And I also wanted to share the watercolor commission I finished. It is 15 x 22" and will be traveling to it's home in Florida soon. I was pleased with the way the background came together on this watercolor.

Welcome to the New Year!

The holidays are over and I got a lot accomplished; got all the commissions done and sent out, created some new watercolors for prints including Japanese Chin, Bedlington Terrier and two of Friesian horses. Have also been working on my oil painting including dogs and landscapes. Here is one of the horse paintings, Noble Faces, done in watercolor and available as a print. And here are a couple of the new dog paintings, a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy titled The Little King Surveys His Domain, and an adorable Jack Russell, titled Terrier Unique.
