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.

Bracco Italiano pup painting in progress
Sorry, this photo is a bit blurred and has some real lighting issues (I'm painting this one in my bedroom instead of in my studio, and the lighting isn't as good in here.) Why in my bedroom? Two main reasons: One, I do mostly acrylic paintings in my studio at this time, and I don't like to have the two media in the same place.) Two, I like to have a painting nearby sometimes so I can see it even when I'm not actually working on it; I look at it as I do other things during the day and see things that need working on. I don't do this all the time because it becomes a bit of an obsession. I study it before going to bed and will actually jump out of bed, turn on the lights, and fix whatever I saw wrong with it. Not at all good for getting a good night's sleep! But sometimes I like to do it.
Below this in-progress photo is the photo I'm working from. Yes, I do get a bit "photographic" in my paintings sometimes, but it's a bit fun to do so from time to time.
I'll try to take a photo at the end of every couple of sessions so you can see the progress (I hope!)
