Pop Art Milly the Labradoodle
11×14 Acrylic/Oil on Canvas
2017-06
My first time getting to use my newer style on a paid, custom painting. I received a very happy photo of Milly the Labradoodle to use as a sample image. All the curls were a bit of a challenge but the details also made this painting my favourite painting yet. I layered different colours over each other for a few more days than I had before and I think that really added an extra dimension to this painting.
This painting has been sold and successfully shipped to the new, happy owner.
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
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.
