8 x 8 Oil on Canvas Panel

This is my other beloved and spoiled puppy, Sara. She's starting to age and also hates having her photo taken! It was quite a challenge to get a photo I could work from. I'm really pleased with how this panting of her turned out.

Snickers (Snickerdoodle)

8 x 8 Oil on Canvas Panel

This photo doesn't quite do justice to Snickers. For some reason, I couldn't get the colors to adjust to really represent the painting. Love, love, love my puppies. So had to give it a try to paint them. May have to continue working on a better photo of this painting so you can see how she really looks. Her eyes just speak to me.

I think the second photo is a little truer to the actual painting.

About Me

My original love was the performing arts. I grew up dancing, and it was my dream to be a professional ballet dancer. That was not to be so I turned to other forms of creativity. It's only been within the past few years that I discovered painting. I'd forgotten how much I loved drawing as a child. Maybe this is a passion re-awakened! I'm a self-taught artist and always looking to learn new techniques. One of the things I've always classified myself as is a "perpetual student". I love learning, and I love experimenting with new techniques. For me, this is one of the best parts of art; experiencing new things is more important to me than the finished piece. So you never know what I'll end up with. Hope you'll enjoy the experience too!
