Lily was a longtime daycare dog who got to grow up with Sarah and I and our business. This was a present to Lily’s people from their parents and was completed just in time for Christmas. I love Lily, she is such a goofy, loving dog.

This was a group gift to the owner of Cedi who passed away. I was able to use a fantastic, high-res photo that had a lot of detail this time. It was also my first time using a tablet to view the image while painting instead of a print out of the original image. It was a nice technological addition to my style.

I still remember the first day that Shanna and her person came into the store. Shanna was just recently adopted from out of town where she lived her puppy life in a farm atmosphere. Her life that day changed immensely, Shanna is part of a family that loves her to death and giver her most everything she deserves. She deserved a painting by me :).
This was my first photo session + painting in one. I got to bring Shanna down to a local park and take some photos of her in hopes that we get a good one that we can work from for a 16in x 20in painting. Here are the results.

A Christmas gift, this came from quite a poor quality image. An image that came from an older cameraphone that could only take pics of a 0.8 megapixel quality. I think it turned out quite well based on the lack of details that I had to work from.

A university series that began as life-sized figurative paintings that morphed into contorted, figurative paintings that were painted on contorted fabrics. I would spend a day each week searching for patterned and plain fabrics of different textures and weights at the local fabric store. The rest of the week I would spend sketching, researching, and painting figures onto the found fabrics. Usually I would staple the fabric up on drywall, fold it, staple it, or sew it in a variety of ways around the rough sketch of a figure. This is a style I wish to get back to one day.
