Rabbit-Animal Art

Acrylic on 12x9 mat board. Here I played with the abstract possibilties of the backround. It was fragmented into geometric shapes and the brush strokes were accentuated. I was happy with the outcome.
Not available.

Gray Cat-Animal Art

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel. The close up is more accurate in color than the full view.

Longhorn Steer-Western Art

Oil on 11x14 archival canvas panel. I'm not sure at this point if this painting is still a work in progress or a finished piece. I'll probably wind up doing quite a bit more to it. The entire sky is acrylic...I first toned the entire canvas with this reddish color. I like this color played against the colors in the steer. That's why I'm tempted to leave it as is. But then again, I may go over the sky with oils that closely match the acrylic color.......Ahhh the choices one must make....

Grackel-Bird Art

Oil on 9x12 archival canvas panel.
This ol' bird was originally posted here on Dec. 25. I wasn't happy with the overpowering reddish background. I added variety in the background and defined the grassy foreground.

Commissioned Dog Acrylic Painting

I didn't have anything prepared to post today, but I came across this commissioned painting done some time ago. I did this for a fellow musician. He's an excellent sax player. We played in various bands together for several years.
This artwork shows my older style. Much tighter and took much longer to complete as opposed to my faster alla prima style today.
It's in acrylic on a 18x14 canvas panel. Unavailable.

Bluebird #2-Bird Art

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel. Once again I had a great time applying the paint thickly. I feel this adds interest and visual excitment to the artwork.

Sold

Cockatoo-Bird Art

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.

I had a lot of fun painting this one. This was one of those instances where the 'painting seems to paint itself'.... all I had to do was hold the brush!

Rooster 3- Animal Art

Oil on 8x10 archival canvas panel. My first painting of the year. Ya know, I'm glad '07 is finally here! It was a struggle for me to sign my paintings with '06 because that 6 ain't easy to paint. Lol.
Sold

Geese

Oil on 9x12 canvas panel. Here, I pushed the color and accentuated the light striking the geese from above plus pushed the reflected color striking them from below.

Sold

Ducklings-Animal Art

Oil on 8x10 canvas panel. Not available. I haven't been able to post any new paintings for a few days due to finishing up a large painting and preparing for shipping.I should be able to return to my schedule soon.
In the meanwhile, here's one I thought you may enjoy seeing. I rather liked the style of it. When I look back once in awhile, I'm reminded of how my approach to painting is slowly changing. Maybe I'll use this approach in my next painting...it will be of a rooster.

Swan 2-Animal Art

This is actually a detail shot of a painting done awhile ago. But I thought it was worth posting here. It appealed to me because of the colors used on a "white" swan... plus the paint texture and handling of the background. I also liked the composition of the detail shot ( may have to do a painting based on this one).The painting was in oil on 9x12 archival canvas panel.
