Second of four...

One of my current projects is to complete 11 by 14 oil paintings which are versions of the four small 6 by 6 paintings I made last year (that were sold at an Animal Rescue League benefit). Here's the second, unframed, still on the easel. The others will be posted here when I have time to do it.
As usual, the image quality and size have been adjusted for uploading purposes.

First of four...

My current project is to complete 11 by 14 oil paintings which are versions of the four 6 by 6 paintings I made last year (that were sold at an Animal Rescue League benefit). Here's the first, unframed, leaning against the wall. The others will be posted here when I have time to do it.

Second "Paper Route" painting....

I finally got around to painting this tribute to a memorable plant that made quite an impression on me: I used to see it every morning on my paper route. I recently finished this 8 x 10 oil painting and photographed it while it's still on the easel, unframed. Hopefully the books, etc., in the background aren't too distracting.
As usual, the quality and size of the image have been adjusted to improve uploading speed.

Portrait of my (unwitting) "Muse"?

Just finished this portrait of one of my sister's dogs standing on her glass-topped white wicker kitchen table, beside some flowers in a bottle, looking out the window, with a hummingbird feeder in the yard, etc. It prompted my sister to observe that, since I've painted several portraits of this particular dog of hers (he's Harry -- she has two others), he must be my "Muse". Maybe, although I've always considered myself more of a "cat person"...
It's an 11 x 14 oil. I took this photo of it while it's still on the easel, unframed; the background behind the canvas may be distracting (books and other things), but there was no good light by the window today, as it's overcast outside. As usual, I've re-sized the image and adjusted the quality for uploading.

Portrait for / of a friend....

A friend asked if I'd paint a portrait of his veterinarian friend's dogs (as a surprise gift). So here it is...The big dog is Luke, the little one is Kira. It's an 11 x 14 oil. I took this photo of it while it's still on the easel, unframed. As usual, I've re-sized the image and adjusted the quality for uploading.

A cheerful tree....

Here's an 8 x 10 oil painting I did of a flowering tree (surrounded by a stone wall) that used to cheer me up on my paper route. Glad to have found the time to snap a few pictures of it before I stick it in a frame (that's not a frame in the photo -- it's just laying on a cork board).
As usual, the images have had the size / quality adjusted for uploading.

Thank you!

To who purchased my oil paintings last night to support our local animal shelter:
Thank you --
especially for supporting the animals, because they really need it!
I hope the artwork provides enjoyment for a long time to come.
When I delivered the artwork on April 1, all four oil paintings were recently completed, unvarnished, and unframed.
One suggestion to protect a painting from surface damage and make it easier to handle is to frame it (I would have done that myself if they hadn't sold last night, because I would have kept them).
I also recommend to prevent fading the painting be kept out of direct sunlight.
If any of the paintings ever needs to find another good home, please don't hesitate to contact me (I love those cats!).
To the event sponsors: Congratulations on the success of your event! Thanks for your contribution and for being a valued part of the community!
