Maine Coon Cat | A Return to Realism

For months now, I've tried to loosen up in my art, trying a variety of different brushes and styles and color palettes...but deep down, my anal, realistic side keeps fighting to get out. So this week, I allowed it to emerge as I painted this portrait of Sassy, a Maine Coon Cat we had stay with us for a short time. If you love Maine Coon cats, you can purchase fine art prints here and gift items with his handsome self here.

As for whether I'll stick with the realism...I'm going to do another painting in this manner and see how I feel. :)

Kitten Portrait | Head Study Painting

I didn't have much time to paint yesterday as I had to work and then we had tornadoes coming through the area all afternoon! By the time the sirens and storms were done, I had a massive migraine headache. :(

Anyway, I did paint this quick head study of our kitten Oreo yesterday. I hope you like it! The painting is available on a wide variety of gifts and cards.

Japanese Chin Dog Painting

About a week ago I shared the custom pet portrait of Archie, a Japanese Chin dog. His canvas arrived today and it turned out absolutely beautiful, as always.

I get so excited when the canvas print of one of my paintings arrives. First of all, it's like opening a Christmas present...unwrapping paper and paper and more paper to uncover the treasure within. But once the canvas is listed from it's box, it's even more thrilling, because the pet just jumps to life, right from the box. My daughter said it best -- "He looks so REAL! I just want to touch him!"

My custom digital pet portraits are created on high-quality, gallery-wrapped Chromata Matte Canvas. And they are absolutely spectacular!

I've taken some photos of Archie's completed canvas print, shown next to some of my original acrylic paintings in my office. As you can see, the quality is excellent. For size reference, Archie's canvas is 8x10" in size and the larger painting next to his is 18x24". Click on the photos to see them in closer detail.

Snow Play | Newfoundland Puppy Painting

Last week I received a really fun photo submission for my Dogs With Toys series. I knew as soon as I saw this precious Newfie, he would be the subject of a painting.

His owner explained that while 9 week old McKinley wasn't shown with a toy, he is shown with one of his favorite play things...the SNOW! Perfect. I love the look on his face.

And only 9 weeks old? Good golly, this is going to be one BIG dog. His owner said at the time of this painting, McKinley is now five months old and weighs 62 pounds. Yes - he will be a big boy when he's full grown. His owner, Scot, also says, "He has a wonderful heart, is very docile, playful and mischievous. He has an older brother (a rescue mutt) who he loves to play with and shares the house with two older cats, who are not at all thrilled with his youthful vigor."

Thank you Scot, for submitting McKinley for me to paint. He makes an excellent addition to the Dogs With Toys series!

For Newfoundland and other dog aficionados, fine art prints, cards, and other fun gifts with McKinley's painting can be ordered from the website.

So what kind of toys does your dog like? Share your dog's photo playing with balls, stuffed toys, squeaky toys, plus toys which aren't considered a traditional dog toy, and your dog could be chosen to be in the "Dogs With Toys" series of artwork! Visit my news page to see how.
