Riding the Drive

Posted in daily painter, Travel, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on January 4, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Riding the Drive is an oil on 12″x12″ gallery wrap 1 1/2″ canvas.  This painting was done as a Christmas gift for Allen who loves bicycling on the Skyline Drive.  We live in an area where there are so many beautiful scenes to paint especially scenes from Skyline Drive across the Shenandoah Valley.

This is the beginning of a new painting year.   Last year ended with 216 paintings done over the course of the year.  I am working on a plan for this years goals and should have something ready to share this week.  Until then I will continue with the daily work.

Happy New Year!

 Truman says to lay around, hang out, and relax this new year’s day.  (Yes, that is a sofa that he laying on the back of…he thinks he’s a cat sometimes.) 

Don’t worry, there will be plenty of time to paint in the upcoming year.  Happy New Year!

Remembering Choco

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, Pet Portaits, tagged , , , , , , , , on December 29, 2009| Leave a Comment »

“Remembering Choco” is an oil on 9″x12″ canvas panel.  He was a gift from a mom to son who had recently lost his German Shorthair Pointer. 

Pointers are gorgeous dogs full of life and intensity.  This painting was done as a composite since I didn’t have a photo of Choco.  But I did have several photos of German Shorthair Pointers that I have taken over the years including this one which is one of my favorites.  He looks so great against the red barn wall.

The Snow Storm

Posted in Small Town Life, tagged , , , , , on December 21, 2009| Leave a Comment »

The snow storm hit us here Friday night.  It snowed all evening and most of the next day.

By the time it stopped we had about 26 inches around my place. 

That’s when the digging out started.  Yikes! 

Luckily, Allen has a snow plow and came by and pushed out most of the driveway.  What a big help that was!

But we still had to dig out the Explorer….

And Sandy’s car.  Sandy is my friend and dog sitter.  She was here to work at Delilah’s.  (She’s also and excellent photographer and has her work at the shop.)  Sandy was snowed in with us so we had to try to get her car out since she has to go to another petsitting job at the first of the week. 

Look!  There is a driveway under all that snow.  Imagine that!!!

Even Truman and Jed has a little pathway dug out.  We called it the pee pee path.  😉

Stay in and stay warm until the roads are cleared and we’ll post a new painting tomorrow.

Sometimes they change their minds…

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , on December 18, 2009| 1 Comment »

From time to time I do commission work other than pet portraits.  One that I recently completed was Susan’s Weeping Cherry Tree.  After living with the painting for several weeks the client decided that she would like to have the house in the painting after all.  So here is a snapshot of the painting after I added the house.

This was the original painting.  I like having the house in it.  It adds depth to the composition.  It’s not always possible to go back into a painting and make it work but sometimes you get lucky.  🙂
