Fishing In the Kelp

Kelp beds are usually filled with fish and delectable treats for herons.  I'm sure this guy had no problem filling his tummy!  Thanks to Morguefile for the photo reference!

Royal Bobby

 


6x6
Acrylic on Gessobord

This is a commission piece I did last month.  I have a fondness for Staffordshire Terriers.  I've gotten to know quite a few at our local dog shelter and they have left indelible marks on my heart.  I was excited to paint this one and really pleased with the outcome.

Nice Rack

I love this guy's antlers!  That's what got me excited to paint this one.  I'm no expert, but I think this is a deer and not an elk.  We have a lot of deer around here, but I have never seen one with such an impressive "headpiece".  I rarely tire seeing these majestic creatures pass through our yard and neighborhood (except when they annihilate my roses and camellia bushes!)
