Work in progress: another yoga dog painting

"Soulful One"

10"x 8" acrylic on canvas

This painting is from a photo taken by my yoga teacher, Jim Weber. He says that this is her soulful look. She has a big personality. They meditate together every day.

A friendly gift

My friend and neighbor, Kris, gave me a bunch of her hydrangeas to paint. They are, in reality, bluer than shown here. Oh well. Image size 14x9. Watercolor and sumi on rice paper.

Another chickadee - they are all around

Pine Nuts 4"x4" acrylic

Posting on the blog helps me see what more needs to be done to a painting. This one needs some fine-tuning on the chickadee's legs and also on the background. Colors are not so dark as shown.

This is a chestnut back chickadee

Bookmark mini watercolors 2"x6"

Recovering from foot surgery I have been painting in the back garden to entertain myself. I moved my chair around and just drew everything around me and then painted in the colors. They will be cut apart and punched and ribboned to sell as bookmarks at the Gallery. Unless I decide to use them as simply small paintings to sell. Maybe both.

These all ended up as gifts to family and a friends.

Time to stop fiddling and just start another one. Maybe in oil next time which is actually easier but takes longer to dry.

Finished or not?

Working on some dog portraits in acrylic

These paintings are not actually as dark as the photos. I am still practicing my photography skills which are lacking. These are for my sister who recently had to put down her sweet labrador, Willow. An especially kind dog who will be greatly missed.
