With all the snow we've gotten this winter, I had to paint snow and since I love animals, of course they are included.
"Snow Run" is watercolor, original is 22"x15". A Giclee print is available in the 11"x14" matted size for $40 including shipping.

The Canine Trio


Just finished this commission of 3 beautiful dogs - Tex, Lilly and Buford. I worked from several photos taken by the owner which were wonderful.
Tex blends somewhat into the background but with total different color dogs, it was difficult to find a color that was compatible. The color is richer and more gold than it shows here.

"Billy Goat" Wins 3rd Place Award


The "Billy Goat" won a 3rd place award at the Appalachian Pastel Society member show Oct 2nd at Black Mountain, NC. The goat was just painted for fun, but had received several very favorable comments so I decided to enter him in a juried show along with the golden "Summer Snooze". Both were accepted into the show but was plesantly surprised to find out we won an award.

Plein Air painting


I spent 2 days plein air painting last weekend. Thanks to the generosity of a farm owner, we were invited to paint their horse farm. A barn, stable and chicken coop, provided buildings to paint. Beautiful landscapes were found in any direction. The painting above was done the 1st day. "Hickory at MacCarthy's Farm" had some help in painting by the horses. Several horses wanted to help and sure provided some laughs with their antics.

"Mr. Innocent"


The second kitty in the series "Mr. Innocent" was an appropriate name. I like the fur texture on this kitty.
