Randy on his rocking horse......

I painted this portrait of a young boy on his rocking horse for a customer from Colorado Springs....it was quite a challenge as my reference material was a small black and white photograph.

George, Champ and Sage

I completed this portrait last week......wishing as I was working on it that I had completed it prior to my left hand surgery.....even though I'm right handed!!!!!! I'll get my cast removed Dec. 7th......(I had a new joint made for my left thumb.....I have a genius surgeon......hopefully, I'll have a bad memory so I will be able to have the same done to my right hand.....right now that does not sound like a very good idea!!!!)

"Henny"

I just completed this adorable pooch!!!! He's been delivered and a spot has been chosen in which to display him. He was fun to work on.

I have just been commissioned to create a portrait of two dogs with their owner! It will be quite a challenge and I look forward to getting started on it.

Kayla's portrait

Kayla's portrait is coming along nicely.....just a few more strokes and she'll be complete!!!!

Sherman and Annie

It was pointed out to me that I had never blogged about two of my very very favorite dogs in the world....."Sherman" and "Annie".......they live with my buddy, Cherie' and her husband Joe.....in Pittsboro, North Carolina. They both guard the miniature horses that Joe and Cherie' raise.....last time I checked they had over seventy of them on their horse farm......a beautiful place. Sherman and Annie and I became good friends on my visit out there.........in 2008............my, how time flies!!!! I was afraid of Annie at first but we buddied right up......I better start making some travelling plans!!!

New Pet Portrait - Kayla

I thought I would be able to get the wood floors completed in this portrait today....however, I chose to work some more on Kayla.....she's coming along nicely.
I hope if you read my blog that you will scroll through a few posts and then leave me some comments.....please. I'd love to hear from you!!!!!
