Rudi

I couldn't paint any more pet portraits without letting you meet my best friend, Rudi.  He likes to sit in a chair by the window in my studio and watch the squirrels play outside while I paint.  My husband thinks Rudi might be a bit spoiled!

This is a recent commissioned piece of a very handsome Brittany Spaniel, named Melvin.  He loves to ride around in the truck with his owner.  His curly ears were so much fun to paint.!

Butch

I have been privileged to learn about portraiture from a master, Ron Bayens.  I painted this portrait of my husband, Butch,  for his Christmas present this year.  He loves to be outdoors and looks very sporty in his hat!  I appreciate so very much his support and interest in my art.  Thank you for visiting my blog. I wish each of you a joyful 2011.
