Nest Collection, 3"x 5", oil on canvas,$35(plus s/h) (SOLD,thank you!)I will need to try and re-photograph the 2 pieces above when I get a bit more sun here, the colors are not as vivid as in real life...both will be available on etsy.
This is a portrait I am currently working on of a beloved Chocolate Lab, named Chip. He passed away last November and is greatly missed by his family. I love the fact that Chip's Mom wanted me to be sure to paint him with a few of his front teeth missing as they 'chipped' off when he had run into something as a pup...I think it's in our imperfections that we find true beauty! :o) I'm hoping to finish this piece in the next day or so.Below is the beginning of a miniature oil painting for Kate Coveny Hood , the 1st winner whom I had chosen from the original entries for my recent Blog Art Giveaway...I had to change it to a winner every 2 weeks as I just cannot paint fast enough and have some commissions I simply have to get finished before I am hunted down.

Chip's family is going to be so happy with the portrait! You've captured dog kisses in his eyes!
ReplyDeleteAll so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really like the one you're working on for the prize too!
Great job!
Thank you!Not the best photos, but hopefully the sun will come out tomorrow ;o)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are busy. Chip is a cutie and I'm sure the portrait will have a place of honour.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed at the detail you get on such a small canvas. Beautiful.
Thank you :o) I think it's from doing ACEO mini paintings 3 years prior...I do enjoy doing the little paintings...it's almost a challenge to see just how much detail I can get...I especially love doing a painting with a study in it, like the one I did a few weeks back that had "Rainy Day in Paris" in it...SO challenging but super fun!:o)
ReplyDeleteThis is the post I'm talking about with "Rainy Day in Paris"...took me FORever just to get the little painting right, but very fun...and even better it sold! Who-hoo!:o)

Hi, Lara, I got my package this week & absolutely LOVE the painting. WOW, is it pretty! I'm going to show it off on my blog on Sunday with a link to you. Thank you SO Much!
ReplyDeleteThank you!It was my pleasure!:o)I have also added your blog button to my sidebar!
ReplyDeleteI love all the paintings.
ReplyDeleteYour paintings are so amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you :o) I just cannot believe I can paint!I tried in high school with acrylics and found it soooo difficult and never tried again...then about 3-4 years ago I was inspired by the work of Chris Stott, an amazing still life artist in Canada...I picked up a brush and to my amazement I could paint!I give all thanks to God, and to my Mom who is also a wonderful artist!
