9" x 9" Oil on panel - Not for sale.

This is a portrait of our dear pet Salty who passed on about 6 years ago.   He was a golden retriever mix that we rescued from the pound when he was 2 years old.  We absolutely loved this dog.  He made a wonderful family pet for our 3 boys as they grew from elementary school through high school.  We will never forget this special dog.

6" x 6" Oil on Panel

I have been wanting to paint some of my favorite pet friends and here is my first one.  Meet Charlie, a sweet and loving blue healer and pit bull mix.  Charlie was a pound dog when my oldest son and his wife picked him up about eight months ago.   Now he gets lots of loving attention, home cooked salmon dinners and daily walks in the woods.   We are glad to have you around Charlie and I'm glad to have finally painted the first of hopefully many pet portraits.

I had trouble with my blog not being delivered on my last posting.  I'm crossing my fingers and hoping this one will go out to your inboxes.   This is a painting I did while in Maine back in October.  I just framed it and hung it in my house.

This is a painting of what I see out of one of my studio windows.  I painted this in mid October.  In time I would like to paint a series of this scene at different times and seasons.

    This young visitor from California caught a salmon and was washing it off in a tidal pool by our cabins.   He eventually cleaned it so he, his brother and parents could enjoy it for dinner.

I am offering Free Shipping for any paintings purchased during the month of December!  Happy December everyone.

This painting is of a honeymoon couple who came to the island.  It was a day of heavy rain and I decided to paddle with them over to the waterfall at the other side of Humpy Cove.  We had a great time even in the rain and I have managed to paint two different paintings form that one rainy day paddle! I wish you all a happy Monday and the start of a great month!
