    Bubba

    Posted in: Animals, portrait

    Bubba

    I’ve just completed this painting of Bubba, my sister-in-law’s Yorkie that passed away in the Fall.  He was only 5 years old and precious to the family.  He was particularly fond of Clara and only tolerated the rest of us.  Amazingly, as proof of who was in charge, he would chase my daughter’s 85lb. Lab around the house, keeping him on the run and out of his turf.  Bubba was small but mighty.

    Sleeping Lab

    Posted in: Animals, Portraits

    Sleeping Lab

    This is Colby, my daughter Sara’s service dog.  When he is working, he is very good at his job, but once the vest is off, this is what he does best.  85 pounds and a lover, he prefers to lay in someone’s lap, but if no one is available, he’ll just stretch out on the sofa alone.

    These pet portrait paintings make nice gifts or tributes to a favorite dog or cat.  If you know of someone that may be interested, please email me.

    The Office Assistant

    The Office Assistant

    I took a photo of this cat several years ago and put it aside for a future painting. Recently choosing “pets and animals” as a subject matter for the students in my watercolor class, I decided this would be a good time to pull it out and give it a try. A different photo was used for the background reference ~ one of my computer at my desk. The Prospek, which looks like a red, plastic compass, was used to get the correct dimensions of the cat’s features to create a likeness.

    This painting is currently on display at the KWS Exhibit in the Middletown Branch of the Louisville Free Public Library.
