I paint and sculpt for a living. It's the best "job" in the world - and the most challenging. I love every second of it. I paint, sculpt, throw (on the wheel) mostly animals, especially dogs, cats, and farm animals, but I often create in other themes as well, such as landscapes, etc. I paint mostly on canvas with acrylics (sometimes oils). My style is bright and usually realistic.

Another Pug!!! This is Lola
This is a painting of my friend's little pug, named Lola. I also painted another of her pugs -- whose name I can't remember right offhand! She's coming up in the next post.
The original of Lola is already sold, but prints and pendants are available. I really enjoyed painting her - what a sweet little face.

I love the pugs..I have two..Frankie and Jesse James and they show up from time to time in my art.
Beautiful paintings. Do you have any dvd's for sale with lessons on how you paint your animals?
Hi, Justme:
Thanks for your comment. No, I can't imagine creating a video of me at work. I don't think it would be helpful anyway because I don't think I have any repeatable method when I paint. I just draw in the image, start roughing in everywhere, and gradually refine what I've roughed in. Regarding color, it just happens; I don't have a plan at all; I just do what comes naturally to me. Wish I could be of more help. Maybe in a few years I'll know what I'm doing . . .
