#4 Cat Commission

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel. This is the fourth of a group of four paintings on commission. They are for my good friends in Santa Barbara, CA.

I really like how the background turned out in this one. Much of it was done with a painting knife using closely related colors. Very stucco like.

Oil on 8x10 archival canvas panel. Here, I have revisited a style I used in the recent past. I've always enjoyed all the color in "white". It felt good to try to create a painting that glows.

Rabbit-Animal Art

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
Wow!! This is my 202nd post!! I didn't notice, but Sun, Sept 9 was the 200th. Well, I made that milestone. My one year anniversary on Blogger will be Sept. 17th!! Altogether, it's been a great experience and many times forced me to produce art even when I didn't feel up to it. That's because I always had the feeling there was someone 'out there' waiting on the next one. I feel as though I've made some important discoveries and progress by painting so consistantly.
Here's a little rabbit with inventive color for you today. Hope ya like it!

Wolf-Wildlife Art

Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel.
I painted quite a few wolves in the past and always enjoyed doing them. They seem to display so much of their spirit through their eyes. Anyhoo, I had fun with this one. Hope y'all like it.

#1 Cat Commission

Oil on 7x5 archival canvas panel. Back to the first of a group of four paintings on commission. I just had to go back in and do a little more work on the face and darken a few colors to improve the form. I now declare this one done...unless I change my mind. ;)

Reworked Rooster

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.
This was originally posted on July,18 '07. At the time there was little reaction to it. I've since had time to look it over and consider changes. I kept most of the reworking at the eyes and beak...a small but very important area.The oils were applied thickly in selected areas.
Hope you enjoy!!
