Here's another side to my work, pet portraits. As you can see I paint dogs mostly, though I'm perfectly amiable to painting other types of critters. The first one, the Australian Shepherd Polly is my most recent commission. The Border Collie is my own dog, Maggie. I painted that very shortly after we adopted her from the shelter, and I'm so glad I did. When our previous two dogs Chip and Dale crossed the Rainbow Bridge just about a year apart, at ages 14 and 15, I was heartbroken, but Iwas very glad that I had several sketchbooks filled with them and and a pastel of each. So as soon as we got Maggie I knew I wanted to capture her forever on canvas.

The other paintings are ones that I use as examples for customers to see, but if you see your favorite breed here and would like to purchase it, that's fine too.

If you'd like to commission a pet portrait, I just need you to e-mail me a color photo of your pet. An 8x10 is $250, unframed, 11x14 $385. E-mail me for the prices on larger sizes.

Below are paintings of my rabbit, Rosie, the second one I sold to someone who absolutely fell in love with it when they saw it on my blog. Rabbits get nervous when you stare at them (these were painted from life) so that's why we've got the "butt end" facing us LOL

Apple Orchard in Spring Impressionist Painting

About This Painting:

It seems I've stumbled into a new series of paintings! I love going to the orchard to pick fruit, starting with strawberries in June, blueberries in July, (also raspberries and gooseberries) August is for peaches, September apples and pears, and finally pumpkins in October. I've been doing this for years and years and I've accumulated quite a few photos of the orchard, which is what I'm working from at the moment. But as soon as the weather gets warmer I'll be packing up my paints and heading there for some plein air painting. I think the new series will be called Orchards and Vineyards, as there are some beautiful vineyards I can go to also. We'll see where this goes because I have it in the back of my mind to perhaps do some larger works in this series too. Stay tuned!

SOLD

Open Iris, oil, 6x8

Greetings Friends and Collectors! Spring has arrived and with it new growth and changes here at The Painting a Day Project. As you can see I have two paintings on the auction block at Art by Us. These are not e-Bay auctions, Art by Us is an auction site just for artists and artisans. During my three years of daily paintings (which I will continue to do) I've sold many, many paintings, and yet I have many wonderful paintings still in my studio, and it's time for a spring cleaning. Once a week I'll list 1 or 2 paintings from my inventory at Art by Us at 40% off, which gives you a chance to bid and possibly win the painting for a very nice price. Of course, if you just have to have one of these you can still purchase it for the usual price of $100.00. Shipping is the same $5.00 in the USA. I accept Paypal as payment.

Coming soon.......Coffee Table Art. That's all I'll say about that right now LOL. Stay tuned!

The Lamb


Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life, & bid thee feed
By the stream & o'er the mead;
Gave thee clothing of delight;
Softest clothing, wooly, bright;
Gave thee such a tender voice,
Making all the vales rejoice?
Little Lamb, who made thee?
Dost thou know who made thee?

Little Lamb, I'll tell thee,
Little Lamb, I'll tell thee:
He is called by thy name,
For he calls himself a Lamb.
He is meek, & he is mild;
He became a little child.
I a child, & thou a lamb,
We are called by his name.
Little Lamb, God bless thee!
Little Lamb, God bless thee!

Red can be a hard color to photograph, so I wanted to let you know that some of the orange glow is lost in the photo above as are some of the subtle shifts in color that help distinugish the petals from each other. In short, the painting glows in real life, the photo isn't doing it justice.
