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.
Pop Art Frenchie -1
12×12 Acrylic/Oil on Canvas
05-2017
I am working on a different style of painting lately, a pop art-like style. I feel this Frenchie came out quite successful and I am enjoying the colours and abstraction that I am giving this new line of paintings. This painting can be purchased directly through my Etsy shop here, archival prints and products available for purchase via Fine Art America here. Contact me if you would like a custom painting of your own in this style.
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:
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

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. 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 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.

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.
