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

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.

A group of amazing people offered to put enough money together to purchase this beautiful painting of Cowboy who was recently lost. There were many possible images to chose from but I thought this one was best because it had Cowboy taking up more of the overall space. Others had very nice backgrounds, etc but this one really shined and showed off Cowboy and who he was.

Lily was a longtime daycare dog who got to grow up with Sarah and I and our business. This was a present to Lily’s people from their parents and was completed just in time for Christmas. I love Lily, she is such a goofy, loving dog.

This was a group gift to the owner of Cedi who passed away. I was able to use a fantastic, high-res photo that had a lot of detail this time. It was also my first time using a tablet to view the image while painting instead of a print out of the original image. It was a nice technological addition to my style.

Shanna
16″w x 20″h
Acrylic on Canvas with floating frame

I still remember the first day that Shanna and her person came into the store. Shanna was just recently adopted from out of town where she lived her puppy life in a farm atmosphere. Her life that day changed immensely, Shanna is part of a family that loves her to death and giver her most everything she deserves. She deserved a painting by me :).
This was my first photo session + painting in one. I got to bring Shanna down to a local park and take some photos of her in hopes that we get a good one that we can work from for a 16in x 20in painting. Here are the results.
