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.
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
I was so happy to be a part of the Women’s Rights March in New York this year. This was one of my favourite photos I took after walking through the city for hours. Photo taken near dusk using my Sony A6000 with it’s 16mm-70mm lens.
We walk our dogs off leash at night in the center of Central Park. The view of downtown is amazing most nights, I had to share. Taken with my Sony A6000 with 16-70mm lens.
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.
