Pop Art Golden Retriever Puppy

I decided to begin offering a new style of pet portrait paintings aside from the realistic style that I have made for people over the last 8 years. This painting is a study that attempts a different and punchier colour palette as well as less detail work with more of an abstracted visual from an image.
Over the past few years, I started to time lapse film myself painting, the original Youtube video of me creating this painting can be found here: https://youtu.be/MnEwuSpnB6c
The eighth painting in a series of fox paintings I have been working on. I am experimenting with different styles while painting this series. I have decided to use geometric and sharper abstract shapes to create the colour layers in this painting again. I enjoy the effect that it creates.

The seventh painting in a series of fox paintings I have been working on. I am experimenting with different styles while painting this series. I opted for a more abstract form while painting these four.

This is the sixth in the red fox series, attempting to work in a different styles as I progress, some may be similar to what I have completed in my pet portrait paintings and other commissions section. I thought I would love to paint a series of foxes because they are interesting, solitary creatures that seem to have similar personalities with cats (just like me). My love for foxes was influenced decades ago by the Disney movie, The Fox and The Hound, and through a couple life experiences while growing up in Northern British Columbia, Canada.
I also began to record my painting progress and creating a time lapse of the videos. Original Youtube video can be found here: https://youtu.be/nakI2pWyE2k

This is the third in the red fox series, attempting to work in a different style that I have when I have completed pet portrait paintings and other commissions.

My love for foxes was influenced decades ago by the Disney movie, The Fox and The Hound, and through a couple life experiences while growing up in Northern British Columbia, Canada. I was drawn to the movement and flow of a fox when it would pounce to catch its prey. The capture of a fox in midair shows the concentration it has when hunting.

The Murder – Two Crows
24in x36in x 1 3/4in Oil on Canvas
01-2017
A commissioned work that I recently completed. The purchaser wanted a painting of crows and after reviewing a number of images we both agreed on this one. Original was a black and white photograph that I then modified using Illustrator and some filters to tone down the details and add more colour.
I am using 1.75in high quality gallery stretched canvas with a floating frame via Gotrick. This item also was framed with a simple, black floating wood frame before being shipped.
Watch me painting this painting very quickly via a time-lapse video. Original Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oZcROiu39M
This is the first in the series, attempting to work in a different style that I have when I have completed pet portrait paintings and other commissions. I thought I would love to paint a series of foxes because they are interesting, solitary creatures that seem to have similar personalities with cats (just like me). I have started with gathering images and info about red foxes but have since been also thinking about looking into Fennec, Arctic, and Bat-Eared foxes as possible subjects.
