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.

Boxer Portrait with Ball
I really like this painting! I just finished it yesterday, and it's being picked up this weekend. It's a custom painting of a beautiful young guy named Barolo. Obviously, the original has been sold, but prints are available on my website.
Some days I think I'll never "get it," and then I get a painting like this that give me hope. It's got good color, is "realistic" but not overly so, still "painterly," in my opinion.
Oh, and by the way, the "paw print" on his chest is real, not something I stuck in. Pretty neat, huh?
