Portraits

Even though I haven't recovered from the 50th reunion events, I talked to several people who asked if I did portraits. Sure I do portraits!! And not always pets. Reference photo used for this one was a photograph taken by Bruce Halen of his grandaughter Somana.

Good Old Memphis

I haven't posted in a while. That means I've been busy...however, I haven't been painting. My 50th High School reunions are coming up in September and I've been busy doing web design, trying to remember how I did that back in the 90s. Luckily, it's easier now!!

I've added a portrait of my friends "granddog" Memphis, that I completed last Spring. I got some good reviews at Corel Painter Magazine site, so I thought I share the image here as well.

Animals?

Absolutely!! What goes better with children than animals. And for some, their animals ARE considered their children.

I've painted many pet portraits for my friends over the years, but have never (until now) sought commissions for painting them. However, they have become some of my most requested subjects. Here, we see "Moxie"...full of the devil, and ready for a romp. While for the 9 month old kitten "Raisin" an inquisitive look was more her style.

If you decide your animals should occupy a special place on your walls, as well as in your hearts...let's see what I can do for you. If note cards would be more appropriate, I can do that as well.

Time Out!

Learning lessons: Don't break in a new pair of shoes on game day, and take off your sock BEFORE you open the band-aid wrapper! 

It's Not All Play!

After practice, many of the kids start doing their homework while waiting for their rides home. To me, the words "over scheduled" often come to mind.

Ready to Defend His Position

The coach said..."be ready"...and, I AM!

Fall Schedule Well Underway

Local fall soccer leagues are well underway, with team practice during the week and games on Saturday morning. Sometimes the uniforms appear to be "one size fits all" but the enthusiasm is definitely "large".
