Sam the Cat



This is my first oil painting with an acrylic underlay.  I discovered I like painting with oils. It blends better than acrylic paint and its kinder when you make mistakes.  You can remove that mistake allot easier than you can acrylic.  This is my sisters cat.  His name is Sam and as you see he is not camera shy.  He is lovable and I believe he thinks he's the man of the house.  He's likes to suck on his toes too!  You can Look below and see his photo the one I decided to use for my model.







 

Traverse City Canal
This picture is done in acrylic paints.  I reproduced one of my photo's that I had taken in Traverse City, Michigan.  It is a canal off of Lake Michigan, there has been a couple things that I had changed do to copy right laws.  My daughter and I shared the day, with her showing me around Traverse City where she resides. It was a beautiful day with her and I had a chance to take quite a few pictures that I can paint from.  So I hope you enjoy as much as I did.  Comments are appreciated.

Daughters Request



This was requested by my daughter, it is a painting she wanted me to do.  It is done in acrylic paints.  There will be no prints for sale. 

Lazy Day



This is my latest pencil drawing done in colored pencil.  I like this lion because he was just trying to keep his eyes open when I was taking his picture.  I will in the near future redraw him or paint him with his eyes barely open.  To purchase a print or card click here

Wow! I am here!

I have my own website.  Can you believe it? I will be putting my new artwork on this site for everyone one to see!



This is my first acrylic painting.  I painted it from a photograph and had everyone think it was the photograph!  It was fun to paint and a great learning experience with the outcome I never expected!  If you would like to buy cards or prints of this painting click the link below.
