Sunset Stroll

Not all isolation is bad, right?!  It's raining here today so I wanted to paint something that helped me feel the sun.  I truly hope all of you are doing okay. I hope you all are blessed with good health and peace!!

I chose to do this painting because it really summed up my feelings about being socially isolated. There's some loneliness but also peace. Thanks to Unsplash photos for the photo reference! Stay well everyone!

Bailey the Beagle

I just finished this sweet painting today.  I've been doing quite a few commissioned pieces lately.  Usually I can't post them until the surprise has happened, but the owner of this sweet Beagle is not on social media, so I should be safe! 

Kailua Beach Beagle 2

This was my first attempt at "Kailua Beach Beagle" that I started and gave up on a while back.  I decided to paint over the parts I wasn't happy with (love acrylic paint!!) and I'm so happy I did.  Enjoy!

This is a painting that I had started on another board a while back and gave up on.  I decided to give it another shot and am happy with the results.  I like the way the white wash turned out.  I tried to give some depth to it, which is what made me stumble before.  

As Spring approaches, and the sun shows itself a little more, it's got me in the mood for summer! I'm ready for some Kailua Beach time myself!

Up Close and Personal

I love close up shots of dogs. I really like the way his eyes and ears turned out. What a cutie! Thanks to Unsplash for the the photo reference!

Rise and Shine

I had a really hard time deciding what to title this painting. One of my first thoughts was, "Chicken, It's What's For Dinner". I kept cracking myself up with that one (yup, it's been one of THOSE days!!).  Then the idea of "Photo Bomb" came to me.  And then, "Cock-A-Doodle-Do".  I went with the boring title, as you can see.  It was super fun painting this colorful guy!

Catching Water Droplets

This was a really fun one to paint...except for the water droplets!  Who knew water could be so difficult!  I was probably just over thinking it, as usual. Enjoy!

Be Mine

My intentions were to paint this for Valentine's Day, but, life got in the way!  When I saw the photo I used as a reference on Unsplash for this, I knew I had to paint it.  That sweet face! Love, love, love!

These are two paintings I did for a client.  They were an absolute joy to paint! I love dog people!
