    Maude : Cat Portrait

    July

    2006

    Another in this series of three pet portraits (Mick, Maude & Cheeky) are complete. This is Maude, another 4″ x 4″ oil painting. She’s a sweet little calico kitty, this is a great pose, too.

    (Here’s the last work in progress I posted of this painting.)

    Cheeky : Cat Portrait

    July

    2006

    Cheeky’s painting is complete, it’s just a little bitty thing, 4″ x 4″. There’s a lot of detail for such a small painting. I’ll post a scan of the piece when it’s dry and I can get it on my flatbed.

    (Here’s the last work in progress I posted of this painting.)

    Yes, I flipped my old design back up for the blog, for now. I’m being indecisive about it.

    Mick : Dog Portrait

    2006

    Here’s Mick’s work in progress, this is just the underpainting. Pardon the specks of light reflecting on all the wet paint!

    In case you’re wondering what he’s missing, it’s whiskers. That’s always that “one thing missing” until it’s finished, since it’s the last thing I do. He still has a few layers of fur to go before he gets whiskers.

    Here are Cheeky & Maude‘s underpaintings, I’ll finish them up tomorrow. I’ll be working on Mick‘s underpainting this afternoon.

    Mick : Dog Portrait

    2006

    This is another commissioned piece I’m working on, his name is Mick – his portrait is on a nice traditionally wrapped & tucked 8″ x 10″ canvas.

    I’ll begin painting all three portraits as soon as I can – I must have brought a stomach bug home from my trip, it hit hard yesterday afternoon and I’m still taking it easy today. I’d like to have these done by the end of the weekend.

    Maude & Cheeky : Cat Portraits

    2006

    These are two cat portrait commissions I’ll start painting in oils today, Maude (a calico) is on the left, Cheeky (a persian kitten) on the right. They’re both 4″ x 4″ square. If I get on a roll with these two, I’ll be able to work more on the Great Blue Heron until my canvas order arrives and I can start my next commissions.

    Two Babes & A Brain

    I wanted to share these illustrations today too, they’re complete and will make their proper unveiling in their new logo at their domain soon. I’ll link it all up and give you larger images at that point, but for now I had to share more art!

    It’s great to be creative – and I know you guys only get to see what I can show you, ya’ll must think I walk around here with a hammer or my camera all day long by now!

    Update: The new header/logo is up and running, go have a look!

    The Graduate

    May

    2006

    Here’s the face-through-the-hole graduate that I just finished up for the PreK graduation ceremony… being held in one hour…phew! The high school shop class cut the wood, the high school art class drew the grad, I just redrew the hands and painted it in acrylics for the school (really, I did it for the kids!).

    I’ll get a pic of the actual graduate tonight, I hope. The eldest couldn’t wait to get her head in there.

    Great Blue Heron – WIP #4

    May

    2006

    I finally got to paint a bit, and worked on the sky and ocean. I’ll work on the grasses next and put another layer on the sky to give it a pretty solid shade of “takes your breath away”.
