This is the fifth 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.

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.

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.

In a City of Millions, There is a Lot of Beauty – New York
18×24 Oil on Canvas w/Floater Frame
2016-12 – 2017-01
My first day by myself, walking through Central Park and I thought I should sit on a bench and soak in the autumn air and colours. I glanced over to my left to see this couple walking on the path in from of me. The young girl was quietly walking beside the older woman and they were joined by the teddy bear between them. They passed by and I was smiling at this image when I thought I needed to share this amazing image that is happening within the hustle and bustle of New York. I pulled out my phone and snapped two or three photos of them while the sun sparkled through the yellow leaves of the trees.
This painting has been sold but I do have museum quality, archival prints and products available for purchase via Fine Art America.

Sunshine On A Rainy Day In New York
24×36 Oil on Canvas
2016-11
I took this photo on one of my experiences of rain after moving to the Upper East Side in New York. I had brought my trusty Sony A6000 with a 16-70mm Zeiss lens on it just waiting for a moment to capture and remember my walk outside while it really poured down. The gutters were swooshing with immense amounts of water and the drains couldn’t keep up. My shoes were potentially more wet inside than out but these daisies reached out and grabbed me through a wrought iron fence. I paused and took a close up photo of one of the daisies, peered up from that photo to see that I had a curious man stop to see what I was doing. I then took a photo of the scene with him included in the background bokeh.
A moment I will never forget had to be painted.

Abbey and Sophie
11×14 Water-mixable oil on Canvas
w/Wood Floater Frame
04-2015
Abbey and Sophie were a pair that have lived together for all of their life but they refuse to sit together for a photo session. This painting was from to separate images of Abbey and Sophie that were spliced together using Photoshop prior to painting. They photos were taken on a nice spring morning in their back yard.
