This picture was painted in oils and was my first seascape. I love the sky in this picture and in the original photo I painted from.  I hope to paint more seascapes with mountains and bigger waves in the future.

Fantail Goldfish

Fantail Goldfish

This picture is painted in oil paints on a 12 x 12 canvas with the deep edged sides.   This picture was fun to paint.  It was one of my own photo's and it was taken at the Knoxville zoo.  I was in the   butterfly exhibit, had turned around and to my surprise the pond they had in this exhibit was directly behind me. This cute goldfish appeared at the surface of the water looking at me and I began snapping  pictures with my camera and enjoyed the results I had gotten with my camera. So I turned my picture into a painting.  I really enjoy animals as you can  see by the artwork I display.  I just love them.                      

Squirrel

This picture is done in colored pencils. I had started this picture a few years back and finally finished it.  This little guy was allot of fun and took allot of short pencil strokes to accomplish the look I needed to make him look furry.  I am glad I finished him.
