Frida reminds me of a movie star sometimes and definitely in this... looking a little crazy, but proud and beautiful like Gloria Swanson playing Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd.

R.F.P.P. #18

8" x 10"

oil on canvas

I've decided to start up the "Random Facebook Pet Paintings" again where I find a photo of a pet from a friend on Facebook and paint it, then they have the option to buy it at a reduced price. When I stopped awhile ago I had 17 and I can really tell a difference in my painting from then to now. If you're on Facebook, I have a folder where you can see them all and if you want to be included, take really good photos of your pet - it helps in the choosing process :)

I wish I could tell you what this means, but I really don't know. 

Sometimes a painting has to be completed to show you what it means over time. Maybe it's the subconscious trying to emerge, but these elements just kept popping into my head, so I listened and painted.

Commissions!

"Kordell"

10" x 8"

oil on canvas

This is Kordell. He belongs to a woman who does rescue work. In my opinion he has aged beautifully and has an excellent profile. I really enjoyed working on this. 

Commissions are starting up early this year! Can I get a Yayy to that?

If you are thinking about a portrait, now is the time to put in an order. I have a feeling it's going to be a busy year. 

This year I'm giving a 15% discount to anyone who does animal rescue work. Let me know and I will add in the discount.

Just wanted to use this animation for no reason, just really like it. 

New Friend

purchase

For my birthday Guy gave me a new easel. It is a great easel, sturdy and solid for larger paintings, it even tilts horizontally! For this wonderful gift I promised him I would paint this first on the new easel.

I did a video of it and you can see it here.
