Oil

This painting is of a friend of mine in Vail, Arizona who has the life I always dreamed of- she is a true cowgirl. This will be the second painting of mine hanging in her house. The first was an oil painting of her bunnies. Visit her Etsy store where she sells her beautiful jewelry at www.etsy.com.shop/heartofacowgirl

I joined a sight call  "Paint My Photo" and found the reference photo for this colored pencil painting. The dogs name is Beau and he is a young Irish Setter. I really enjoyed this portrait.

Red Hen Profile

6x8 Oil on canvas

I painted this red hen from my own photo I took while I was visiting in Vero Beach, Florida. This hen was one of many that supplied the farmer's market with fresh farm eggs to sell.

Eastern Bluebird

 I sold this oil painting at the Hanover Area Arts Guild. I love painting birds so I guess I will have to paint more.

Colored Pencil on Mi Teintes Touch

My reference photo for this drawing is a photo I took in the Florida everglades many years ago. This bird and many more were at a wildlife refuge where we also took an airboat ride through the everglades. I am working on subjects for an exotic pet art display.

Florida Rooster painting in Acrylic

4x6

Acrylic

I met this guy on a farmette in Florida where the owners were celebrating their 100th year anniversary of operating a farmer's market. The two older Peterson brothers said their grandfather started the business and now they continue to sell fresh fruit, vegetables, eggs and milk along with souvenirs and other novelties. The animals were in pens arranged as a petty zoo atmosphere. The roosters seemed very happy with all their hens and this one liked looking at my camera. Just had to paint him.
