Rottie watercolor


I decided since I had to get this painting done and posted to Ebay right away that I would attempt to paint it outside while I had the kennel doggies out to play in the yard.
It was a nice sunny morning that later turned into pouring rain, typical of Pacific NW weather in June so I was glad I got out early.
I am really working on changing my painting style a bit and am concentrating on painting shapes more than detail.
I think this one shows that and for once I am happy with how it turned out.
Maybe it was painting outside on a gorgeous morning that did it. I will have to do that again!

New Cooper resincast


This one is a resincast by Resins by Randy sculpted by Sue Sifton. I painted him my usual way of painting a pinto which is to airbrush the coat color on first then add the white pinto markings. It takes forever to get the markings on because you have to do them with very watery color or the white paint doesn't go on smooth. There are probably at least four hours into this one just on the white markings.
He was painted for Deb Buckler, Resins by Randy.

New Buster resincast


I have been working on sculptures this week although this one was completed about a month ago. This is the Buster resincast from Resins by Randy sculpted by Yvonne Davey. I painted this one with a new technique with my airbrush. Normally I do all the pinto markings by hand but with this one I did a lot of the roaning with the airbrush and only a small amount by hand. He was fun and is now sold.

Buddy ~ Silky Terrier


I have been so busy this week. I have extra dogs in the kennel and also a kitty so it means more time away from painting. I have to let the cat out for exercise in the kennel building and then I have to let the dogs out in the big yard so it takes a lot of my time since I do this at least twice a day.
It is enjoyable though when I get a cutie like this in to stay. This is Buddy.

Well, another day another painting. One of my Ebay horse groups chose "spots" for this weeks challenge so this is what I came up with. It looks a bit more like illustrative art because I thought it would suit this composition.
This one is going on Ebay for auction.

Jax and Oreo portrait


I have this mostly finished now. I may go back and tweak a little here and there but not much.
The owners will be here tomorrow to pick up these two little cuties so I hope they like the portrait.

I worked on this a little more today but my heart really wasn't in it. I guess I have been painting too much and need a day or two off. Yeah, like that's gonna happen!
Anyway, the poor little girl on the right looks a bit like a scared monkey because her eyes aren't finished but this is a WIP so I will try to get past that.
