Westie & Black Vintage Phone Original Oil Painting

This is a custom pet portrait I just finished of an adorable Westie (West Highland Terrier) and a vintage phone and I am just thrilled with how it turned out! I have had a number of people mention how they love the vintage pieces that I do, so I will be continuing to offer pet portraits using items from the past. I think using such items in my paintings brings up many fond memories for people....memories of a kinder, gentler, more innocent way of life. Please be sure to check out my new blog, www.paintingapupaday.blogspot.com

Christmas Westie Oil Painting to Benefit Maryland Westie Rescue....

Some Still Life Oil Paintings I've done in 2008...

I love painting pet portraits and portrait studies, but sometimes I like to take a bit of a break and do some 'fun' paintings as I call them....like these still lifes...not that I don't enjoy doing portraits, I just need a break from all the detail from time to time! :o)

Westie Oil Painting Commission Pet Portrait

This is a piece I recently completed of a customer's adorable West Highland Terrier discovering a sweet, little chickadee on a nearby Evergreen tree. I wanted the piece to capture a sense of wonder along with a sense of winter's magic with the softly falling snow made up of intricately designed snowflakes. Feel free to contact me if you are interested in having your pet's portrait done.
