Two Pups

 

$100 

10"x10" cradled panel with 8x8" original watercolour painting.

I drew these two pups, which were sooooo cute, while at a cafe enjoying a sunny day. I love the striped shirt vs. the flower shirt, not to mention the contrast with the checkered chair backs. Lots of fun stuff to paint!

This is my new way of presenting my paintings. It took some time to perfect it, but the painting is completely adhered to the panel, painted with gouache. I love painting a strong vibrant colour for the background. It's like it's own frame so, it's ready to hang. Varnished too!

Back to School!

Dogs go back to school in September... don't they? ; ) This smart Husky sure does.  Well, more like go to the beach and fetch sticks and splash around in the water...  #hehe Seriously, I love the fall and I guess because of school, I still feel like September is the start of a 'new year'.

Painting Spots! Such a blast! I don't get the opportunity to paint polka dots that often so when I saw Dottie (of course that's her name), I wanted to paint her immediately. Dalmatian's rock. ; )

If you've got a pet, or a friend with a pet, email me some photos and I'll get painting. #greatgift 

Dogs Rock

I painted this little 5x7" watercolour commission for a new client. What a honey their dog is!! I love that her little front paw is off the ground as she runs towards her owner. : )

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs!

As you can see, I've been sketching and painting dogs lately.

The slideshow was fun to put together, with help of the free slideshow app, although it's a bit tricky to line the photos up nicely, let alone remembering to take them along the way! It's not a great video, so I may upgrade to a better slideshow app...!

The four drawings were done in my sketchbook with 6B pencil.

Happy Year of the Dog!!

This fellow was such a treat to paint! I added hints of blue cerulean to contrast with his warm brown and dark coat. Lots and lots of colours mixed in this one. 

Here's a close up of him:

A few spots left..

late run

SOLD

Back from a wonderful loooonnggg vacation during one of the most fantastic summer's ever! It's been sunny with a cool breeze almost every day. Even the adorable dogs along the Humber River are enjoying it!

$50 - 5x7"painting with 8x10"mat.

Border Collies

My main objective here was to get colour in the darks while keeping them transparent. I worked from a photo reference, which is not the way I usually paint, but I'm happy with the results.
