Jack is a beautiful Samoyed. He has such a gentle soul and I just HAD to paint him. It was a total pleasure for me to try to capture his essence.

Blue Hydrangea is a quick study of one of my favorite flowers.  I liked using my acrylics on it.  Nice change of pace.  Hope you enjoy!

This is my first painting of 2014.  I actually did the drawing late last night so that I can say I started it on New Year's Day and just finished it!  It was so much fun to do.  Perhaps I'll concentrate on pet portraits.   Hmmm....

I love dogs so very much.  They just make my heart sing!

I always enjoy when artists paint reflective metals.  It has a life-like quality to me.  This is my first attempt at painting silver in a Kenn Backhaus workshop.  It definitely makes you really look at your subject matter for all of the subtleties in the reflections.  Hope you enjoy!

The was taken from a scene while on vacation in Switzerland a few years ago.  I call it The Lookout because as a last minute thought, I added in a Silky Terrier and an orange cat keeping careful watch of the activities below.

With Spring here and not  many blooms to show for it yet, I thought I'd get a jump start and paint some flowers in a glass jar.

I love dogs so very much!  They give unconditional love and ask nothing in return.  They know your every emotion, whether you are happy or sad or just need to give a belly rub!
