Portrait Study1 – To consider yourself a painter you should be able to do most any type of study or painting even though you have your favorite type. I have done some portrait pieces in the past and decided to try some again as I was recently asked if I could do a head shot. I found this exercise in a book purchased months ago and then put aside. Some of you may recognize it although I have taken some creative license. Your comments are welcome.

The SnowGoose – If you were a child in northern Minnesota like myself you may have seen a rare SnowGoose on occasion. This is done from memory and because I needed a departure from what I had been painting. It was a nice change and lots of fun to do. Your comments are welcome.

The Havanese – Many years ago my cousin (by marriage), Alga told me about the Havanese puppies of her native land, Cuba. Recently I found out that the Havanese is the national dog of Cuba, now it all makes sense. Alga has been gone for many years now, but I will always remember her smiling face when describing the Havanese. Your comments are welcome.

The Alaskan Brown – Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t posted any new paintings for about two weeks. We have been on a cruise ship in Alaska, Glacier Bay and 4 ports of call. The day at Glacier Bay was enhanced with several hours of bright sunshine starting just as we arrived at the north end. The scenery was spectacular, lots of wild life and of course the glaciers too. I thought I should paint something reminiscent of that day so here is my impression of an Alaskan Brown Bear. Hope you like it. Your comments are encouraged and always welcome.

The Pomeranian – I painted a Pomeranian recently which had lived with my good friends Jim and Judy in Colorado many years ago. The one I spotted the other day was almost white rather than reddish brown. It looked more like this one. Your comments are welcome.

Marvin No. 2 – I saw Marvin, an elderly Chow, at the coffee shop once again on Thursday. He suffers from arthritis and his owner said his eye site is also getting poor. I decided it was time paint another Chow. These dogs have the most expressive faces and because of that, they make great painting subjects. The second picture is a detail of Marvin’s eye. I just thought the close up was interesting. Your comments are welcome..
