Had to say goodbye to my good old dog last week. He made it past 13 years with only three legs. Here’s a tribute to him doing his second favorite activity: sleeping in the sun. #1 was eating.
Miss you, Lefty <3
Goodbye

Oil Painters of America National Exhibition
Pax
12×12″ oil on panel
I’m very honored to have Pax accepted into the Oil Painters of America 31st National Juried Exhibition this year!
Pet Portraits
A few pet portraits I’ve done over the last year or two! Gouache, oil, and drawing.
Bob the Dog
Bob, 8×8″ oil on panel
A pet portrait off to its new home. <3
This one’s just two colors plus white – ultramarine blue and transparent red oxide.
I feel like this guy is the first time I got the whole photographing-your-artwork thing right. Using natural light, bouncing boards, and RAW image editing.
Senescence
12×9″ oil on panel
Lure
5×7″ oil on board
This was a fun experiment with lead white. Turns out it gets really yellow after a while, but putting it in a sunny spot whitens it right up.
I bought this vintage lure just so I could paint it. I love the thing! What have you bought for the sake of a still life?
Alpaca
A fun painting from last summer using a palette knife for texturing.
11×14″ oil on board
SOLD
Intercontinental
Don’t think I’ve shared this one before – 24×12″ oil on canvas
Crab Claw
A fun, very quick study of a dungeness crab claw in black and white oil paint. I love practicing with values – it is a never-ending learning process!
Backyard Sky
A fun study of the foggy sky from when we lived near Seattle.
