Horse Commission Finished

Just finished this gorgeous horse commission. This is a little cutaway, more soon. He’s in the varnishing stage now. ❤️ yes, I do commissions.  Just ask!


I’m still working on getting some goodphotographs of this... stay tuned and I’ll give you more details as I finish up.



For now, the painting itself lays somewhere in the middle of these two shots.  :)

Dog Sketch in Class

VERY quick in-class sketch with my students. One of them got a new dog, a German Shepherd/Bloodhound mix. Haha!  He looked like this... well, except that he wasn’t green.


Quite a funny fellow, his eyes didn’t match, and he was the soulful fellow.  I’m sure he will be getting lots of love.  Actually, I think he looks kind of cute green!

My Current Painting Commission

Here’s a small hint for my current work in progress, a commission which is getting close to being done. I do commissions on all requests, and the process is really quite fun for the buyer as well.


More on this soon when 1) it’s finished, and 2) I have buyer approval!

Chinese Characters in Art

I love learning how ancient Chinese pictograms slowly changed into the characters they have today. Working it out in paint. This character means dragon.  Can you see his legs?
