Poodle in Light - Rex was the poodle's name and his owner was an attorney and friend I knew some 35 years ago in Wichita, Kansas. I found an old picture of them both just yesterday. I think they both must be long gone by now. Rex seemed always vigilant, alert and never seemed to let his guard down. I thought that was unusual for a full sized poodle. Your comments are welcome.

Sophie – Sophie is, or I should say was a beautiful gray and white longhair that lived with me for a couple of years many years ago in Lake Dallas, Texas. I’m sure it was hard for her as I traveled for a living and was usually only home on weekends. The neighbors helped me out by feeding her while I was gone. One day she was hit by a car.

8 x 8 Canvas Panel

shipped 7/10/2008

Kitten in Box – This was an enjoyable painting to do as I’ve raised many kittens in my lifetime. Some could while away hours in and around a milk carton or paper bag. I can’t count the hours of laughs I’ve over the years just watching them play. Possibly you’ve had a similar experience. Your comments are encouraged and welcomed.

CHAMPION PIPERS WILL POWER - Oil on 9 x 12 Canvas Panel

SOLD 6/18/2008

shipped 7/7/2008

CHAMPION PIPERS WILL POWER – or “Will” for short. Will is a champion Whippet and I’m sure he is the pride of his owners. The owner of the website featured Will on page http://www.angelfire.com/stars4/puppies1/p3.html and gave me permission to use any of the images available there. Will struck me as an extremely self-confident dog even at his age. You can check out Will or any of the other champion dogs at that website also. Your comments are welcome…..

Opal - Oil on 8 x 10 Canvas Panel

SOLD 6/17/2008

Opal – We adopted Opal in about 1996. She was sitting up on the spa having a conversation with me while I soaked when she spotted a bird. I hope I’ve captured the expression correctly. Who says you can’t paint expressions on animal’s faces. Opal disappeared mysteriously about a year after we got her. It’s to bad as she was really cute. Your comments are welcome.

Longhaired Dachshund – You will see this Dauxie frequently at our local coffee shop in Sacramento. Although I’ve never spoken to the people that bring her, I don’t think they would mind my using her for a model for this 8 x 10 Oil. In the past I’ve tried painting a couple of Dachshunds. One came out great and the other not so good. I’d like your opinions on this one if you would. Your comments are always 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.

4/26/208 - Some of you may notice that this is a new picture with some changes to the original painting. I just was not satisfied with it so did some updates. Hope you like it more.

Nora The Sheltie – I keep seeing this Sheltie leading it’s owner down the sidewalk by our local coffee shop here in Sacramento. It reminds me of 40 plus years ago when I lived in Wichita, KS and my friend Ed H. (now deceased). He owned this split window 63 Corvette (you car lovers know what I mean). He and his dog Nora, a Sheltie, would pull into our local drive in restaurant and everyone would watch as they parked. Nora, and I think the Corvette too, would attract a lot of the local girls. What a great dog she was. Your comments are welcome.

Judy’s Pomeranian – This one lived in Colorado many years ago and it is painted from memory. When I would visit their home we would sit up till all hours of the night talking and laughing. The Pom would be on her lap. I remember the soft long fur and the always-inquisitive personality. They were good friends and still are to this day although the Pom has been gone for many years.

Tibetan Spaniel – These Dogs were highly prized in ancient Tibet, and were often given as gifts to royal houses. Depictions of dogs similar to the Tibetan Spaniels have been found on Chinese bronzes from as early as 1100 BC. I personally just think they’re cute! Your comments are welcome.

Its Nap Time – Every time I paint one of these kittens and then sit back and look at it I feel very relaxed. It’s a phenomenon that doesn’t occur with other paintings I do, just the kittens, especially the sleeping kittens. The softer they look the more relaxed I feel. I’ll probably keep painting them and just for ducks, I’m going to check my blood pressure to see if the phenomenon actually extends to my BP number.

Homer - Oil on 8 x 10 Canvas Panel

Sold 3/19/2008

Homer – His new owner brought him home, from sure death at the pound, to a loving environment just yesterday. I was lucky enough to meet him and immediately noticed that he seemed to stair at me forever. Possibly it was the sound of my voice or just a male voice that interested him, but he wouldn’t take his eyes off me so I took a couple of pictures and today put him on canvas. Homer is about 8 or so weeks old and very fluffy. Your comments are welcome.
