Cats
Choty
Oil on canvas panel. 2018
Catherine's beloved cat who crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He wasn't one for swiping puzzle pieces off the table, but instead was content sitting in your lap and watching. There are so many things that made Choty extraordinary.

The Visitors
8x10 acrylic, stretched canvas. 2021.
Sold.
This is a composite painting. This pair of ducks have been visiting the pool. A friend asked me to paint them on the wall between pool and hot tub, facing each other, him standing up, her sitting down. Oh, without too much of the deck showing. Challenge accepted! Naturally, the ducks were not about to pose. So, I took photos of the pool. When they came to visit I snapped individual photos of them. She stood on the wall for photos, but facing the wrong way, so I had to reverse her photo and paint her sitting down. He left the pool area and was wandering around, mostly in shade, so I had to study him carefully to make sure I had his colors. Finally, I brought the trees in the back of the property forward while blurring them into the background. It was certainly a challenge! sold

Fowl Play
10x10" acrylic on stretched canvas. 2021.
This is one of the paintings I did live at the Oceanside Art Walk September 3. I did not have all my usual supplies with me as my studio was mostly still in the garage in boxes after my move. So, I grabbed a couple of canvases, some paint, and a few brushes and off I went.
