Surreal Rabbit

This one looks a little better in person than in the photo. I sat down today in front of a little 5″ white canvas with nothing in mind about what to paint, other than I’m on a rabbit streak, and this happened. I think it’s fun. Tomorrow I’m showing my work at a local artContinue reading “Surreal Rabbit”

Rabbit Family

4×5″ oil on canvas

Giant Flemish Rabbit

I went to the zoo today with my kids and the Giant Flemish Rabbit caught our eye so I took a few pictures. And then painted him. He was being a little shy and sleepy. We noticed that he has a big strange goiter like growth below his chin.

Greeting Cards

Last week I took in almost 40 painting to the art print reproduction place in town to have them scanned. From there they can make high quality Giclee prints and greeting cards. I organized my paintings by theme so I can make card sets of 8 with 2 or each of the 4 I’veContinue reading “Greeting Cards”

Just a Head

4X5″ oil on canvas I did this quick sketch of an elk head today. I enjoy painting wildlife but am starting to get bored with rendering out all the details of the critter and the space it’s in. Hence just the head and antlers, after all, they are the most interesting part of the elk,Continue reading “Just a Head”

Abstract

6×6″ oil on canvas This is my first baby step towards abstract art. I want to figure out a way to paint music, specifically Ravel’s “Sad Birds,” and a Beethoven piece that I love. I image the painting to be abstract, but I haven’t figured that out yet. Sad Birds would be lonely feeling butContinue reading “Abstract”

Framed and ready for auction fundraiser

I was asked if I’d like to donate a painting for the Boise High fundraiser and this is the one I chose. I had it framed and it’s ready to go.

California Oak Trees

I want to run down this path into the California green grass and oak trees. A friend and fellow Northern Californian asked me to paint this NorCal oak tree scene for her. Spring and Summer in this area are always so lush and green, bright green. Bright- bright- green. I miss it so much, especiallyContinue reading “California Oak Trees”

Time for a New Bouquet

These are the flowers I bought last week to use as a still life. It was a much fuller bouquet and one by one the flowers have been dying and I have been plucking them out. Now I’m down to just 3 ranunculus and the greenery. If I touch the ranunculus the petals fall off.Continue reading “Time for a New Bouquet”

Ruby

Here we have darling Ruby. Adorable, sweet, charming, huggy, spunky, quick, funny, smart Ruby. She’s my cousin Heidi’s little girl, Atti’s little sister. I painted this portrait from a photo my cousin sent me that was taken at a professional modeling shoot. They had lights on her and fans and her hair was blowing inContinue reading “Ruby”
