HANDSOME RED TABBY CAT

I am a sucker for red tabbies and this one is a total cutie. This boy is currently in a tough fight for his life, as he was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma... My heart and prayers go out to his parents.

RED ROOSTER CLOSE-UP

I found a cool rooster photo on the wetcanvas (image library) site. It looks like they are having a very serious conversation those two. Here is a closeup of the red boy...I did take some artistic licence with the colors on him and made him RED!

TUXEDO CAT AND MICE - WIP

Here is an interesting one that I am currently working on... Meet SPIKE... I have painted SPIKE before and will paint him again in the future - he is a tuxedo cat of my own creation...His name, of course, comes from his rather unruly hairdo...

I think I will call this one "things are looking up" ...This one is done in oils.


Come back tomorrow and I should have the final version posted - I am so excited!!

SUPER SIZED GREEN ABSTRACT FROG

This one is rather LARGE - 18' x 36"...I painted it with intent to hang it horizontally, but it looks pretty cool vertically. The photo doesn't do it justice...It looks so much more AWESOME in person!

ABSTRACT TEXTURED WHITE FLOWERS

My mother should be happy to see paint flowers, as she always pushes for more floral paintings- This one is on a smaller side. But eventhough it is small it is still extremely textured and fun..

ABSTRACT DAISY FLOWERS

I just love the spring weather that we are having! My husband brought home some really pretty African Daisies and planted them in our back yard. They were the inspiration for this abstracted and highly textured painting... I wander how this small painting would translate into a larger one? Must think about that one...
