Time-lapse Progression Video of Springer Spaniel Painting

I put together a video of the progress of the springer spaniel dog portrait commission that was painted last year. The painting commemorated the life of "Rex", who spent most of his life bringing joy and comfort to the sick, destitute and lonely. He was often referred to as the life and soul of Magical Paws, Sudbury, Ontario. Hope you enjoy watching the process and don't forget to turn up the volume!

Calico Tabby cat portrait commission: a painting in pastel

I am delighted to be able to share a portrait of this lovely cat! I could not post before because it was to be given as a birthday/Christmas gift to the recipient. I will be adding work in progress shots of this piece when I have more time.

Celebrating Yvan Wheale, Manitoulin Landscape Artist

Last month, my friend Gigi and I attend the opening of  Mr. Ivan Wheale's exhibit at Artists On Elgin.  We also celebrated Mr. Wheale's birthday which happened to be on the same day of the opening. Congratulations Mr. Wheale for another successful show!

Gigi and I are seen her with the talented Mr. Wheale surrounded by some of his beautiful paintings. My favourite is that of "Butternut Falls", situated directly above my head!
