It’s varnishing day!!
I had a good collection of paintings that needed a coat of varnish. Sure am glad to have all the extra space in the new apartment to lay these out until dry.

This is our youngest dog Brew (aka: Bort). This image shows that the camera can fool the eye into thinking he is a regal creature.

felt bad for this cool pedal bike. I walk by it every other day and it seems to never move and it has a flat rear tire.

This painting was for Sarah, it was from a photo that I took of her and our husky Maui in our backyard in Lethbridge, AB. Maui was beautiful, Sarah was beautiful, I had to paint it! This was the first time in a very long time that I attempted to paint a person as well. It took quite a bit longer but I gained the confidence to know that I can do it again if people requested.

Riley the cat was a painting that I will never forget, it was a Christmas gift and I found myself attempting to paint Riley while at our pet supplies store as I was running out of time. It worked out well in the end as I was able to complete the painting and also advertise locally that I offer this service. I can look at Riley’s eyes for minutes at a time, such beautiful eyes.
Beans was my first painting experience for many years and the painting that had me push to continue creating commissioned pet portrait paintings. At this time I would roughly sketch out the image on the canvas and would work off of a scanned image printed out on a 8.5in x 11in piece of paper. Details would be specific to the quality of the original image/scan/print out, generally losing detail from every step. Here’s to Beans! Beans started a new realm in my painting and allowed me to paint more often and hone in on my skills.
