Landscape Painting

Just playing with color (again). Trying out the properties of the Golden Open Acrylics on canvas. Love the color!

Rescued horses - photos

These are a pair (mother & son) of horses that I rescued back in August of this year. Their progress is remarkable. And, even more amazing is their amicable attitudes. They are very loving and trusting! They were starving and had been staked out on short ropes through the summer sun. They are of a very forgiving nature. I hope I can find them a home where they will be showered with the kindness they deserve and have earned. If you are reading this and know of such a home please contact me.

Watercolor painting - Court Square Tulips

This is watercolor on aquaboard. It took many, many layers to get the depth of color I wanted. Anyway, I don't usually paint flowers but I will be part of a show in a building on our Court Square next week. Each year the square is planted with beautiful tulips. So, I decided to paint a few of these for the upcoming show.

Photography Labrador Retriever

What a handsome boy! This is another lab out of Wildrose Kennels in Oxford, MS. These are a few photos I took for a commission watercolor. I just love the colors in the backgrounds especially in the top photo and it doesn't hurt to have such a lovely subject! I can paint a portrait from any photo (non-flash) or if you are close enough I take the photos and give them to you! If you are interested in a commission of your pet, please just comment below and it will come to my email inbox.

Sweet Potato Farming - Acrylic on Panel - Painting

Still playing with the new paints... acrylics. This was about a mile up the road from my place. They were harvesting a sweet potato crop.
