This is the second 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
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.

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.

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.
