My latest painting is staying in the family. This is a painting of my mother-in-law's dog Buster. He posed perfectly for me and I HAD to paint him. I will deliver it to her this weekend.
Oh how I enjoyed painting this little still life. I've just started collecting the blue or blue/green jars. They are so beautiful! This painting was painted completely from life. I painted the fruit first because I knew they wouldn't last long then worked on the jar.
I am a full time working artist in beautiful Northwest Arkansas. I work mostly in oils painting portraits in oil of people and pets as well as still lifes and landscapes. I am married and have three children. I have been painting for almost 15 years. It is my passion and I'm so blessed to be able to do what I love. When I'm not painting or taking care of the family, you will find me on the tennis court.
