Red Barn -- demo from class

Little Red Barn, 8" x 10" oil on canvas. This loose little thing was a demo piece for a class. Based on a photo from a state parks website; photographer unknown.

I donated this piece to a local charity fundraiser for their silent auction.

Portrait of Kipper, Watching a Spring Peeper

Something pretty for Easter morning


Oil on canvas, 11" x 14". Click on the image twice to enlarge it; because of its size, it doesn't show so well this small.

Narcissus #2

More brown paper drawings

Canter, top, and Narcissus Bulbs, both mixed media on Ingres paper. These were demonstrations in my drawing classes. Horse is about 9" x 12" and bulbs approx. 9" x 13".

Torley the Dwarf Hamster

5" x 5" mixed media on Rives BFK Tan paper (my favorite!). Click to enlarge.

This is perhaps the smallest commissioned work I've ever done. He took a couple hours when I was between classes yesterday at Bloomington Art Center. I'm rather taken with the little fellow!

Louis the Golden Retriever

Louis in the Snow, 10" x 8" oil on canvas, commissioned portrait.

Below, the original state of this picture. Due to a miscommunication, I painted the dog with a summer background, when the client wanted snow. Whoops! Fortunately, I was able to change the season.

Bunnies named Wayne and Garth

Wayne (top) and Garth. 7" x 5" mixed media on brown Ingres paper.

Seed Series 5 and 6

Untitled (Seed Series #5) and Milkweed (Seed Series #6), 8" x 6". Both mixed media on Rives BFK Tan paper.
