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.

Who doesn’t like kittens? I guess there are two or three of you out there. I’m a kitten/cat lover and I had to try pop art-ing a cat, this is the result.
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/zFVboU09cMk

Walking a dog, waiting for him to finish taking a break from smelling ALL the things. I was kneeling down and looked across the street to see The Barking Dog Restaurant.

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.

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
