I've been working on this pair of commissions for a bit now and might be finished (pending approval of the owners!). What a sweet pair of dogs! I really enjoyed working on these two. 

I'm finally in my new studio and am loving to have more space. The Studio Art Tour is next weekend and the following weekend and then I am looking forward to painting some new large format pieces.

"Branagh"

Working on a commission and this is my first try. She is such a cute terrier! There will be more to come along with her companion Chester. I love animal faces! Not quite finished but I have to let it dry before I can add the final details.

"Bright Eyes"

"Bright Eyes" study

oil on board, 5" x 7"

SOLD

There are so many colors in the human face when you look closely! I may add a layer of softer colors over this to get the sweeter look of this baby but I love the brightness of the eyes. 

"Cornered"

It's hard for me to avoid painting cats when I get down to business working on daily paintings. This is Lilly hanging out by the heater. Different day, different mood.

"Busy Bee"

I don't know where the time has gone but I have been feeling exactly like this bee... busy, busy, busy. My show at ArtsWest will have a reception this week but other than that my life has been taken over by the needs of children, parties at school, auctions, birthdays, and Halloween. It's always the craziest 2 weeks for me each year. So, I'm glad to get the chance to paint today. I find it hard to be creative with out some moments of quiet. I should be in my new, bigger studio by the end of the month in time for the Vashon Art Studio tour with friends Laura Strand Whitmore and Diane Fox.
