Oliver

8 x 8 in, oil on linen canvas

I met this dashing, young gentleman at the local farmers market. He was kind enough to pose for me so I could snap his picture.

PJ the Service Dog

11 x 14 in, oil on linen canvas

PJ is a sweetheart who's a service dog in training. You can see a bit of her trademark yellow cape. Through Canine Companions for Independence, volunteers work in their homes with puppies provided by the organization. When the dogs are about 15 months old, they go to a Regional Training Center for more advanced training. PJ will be graduating soon to the next level.
Good luck PJ!

Collie Smile


8 x 8 in, oil on linen canvas

I was lucky enough to come across a woman walking her two collies at the farmers' market last summer. This collie flashed a smile for me as I was taking her picture!

The Observer


8 x 8 in, oil on linen canvas

Jester is in training to be a guide dog for the blind. So far he's been more of a class clown but I'm sure in time he'll reach his true potential and graduate with flying colors!

This little happy girl used to bounce around the neighborhood as a puppy. She grew up with her three lovely sisters (who happen to walk on 2 legs instead of 4).

Oscar in Red


8 x 8 in, oil on linen canvas

As we pack up the decorations, Oscar is hanging on to the last vestiges of the holidays by wrapping himself in the Christmas tree skirt. It's sad to see the holidays end but exciting to think about what the new year will bring!

Sled Dog


6 x 6 in, oil on linen board

This painting was taken from a photo I took at a dog show. I don't know if this dog is a Siberian Husky or an Alaskan Malamute. After researching online about their characteristics and differences, I'm embarrassed to say I still don't know! Anybody?

Borzoi


6 x 6 in, linen on board

I took a picture of this gorgeous Borzoi at a dog show recently. He reminded me of our Alfie who was a goofy fun loving guy. He learned life in the country the hard way. Horses don't always watch where they step and cats tend to scratch you when they're irritated!

Bird Watching



8 x 8 in, oil on linen canvas

Here are three very attentive birders squeezing together for a good look. Ordinarily they wouldn't like to be this close to each other but bird watching is a team sport!

Jabba

8 x 8 in, oil on linen canvas

This is Oscar doing his "Jabba the hut" imitation. Oscar really does have a neck but sometimes he likes to scrunch his head down into his shoulders so he can look plump and strange. He's a big Star Wars fan.
