Dreaming of the Circus

The circus is another favourite theme of mine.  In this painting the slightly plump Dachshund is dressed up in his special outfit and is happily daydreaming about having a career in the circus one day.  It has been painted with acrylic on canvas and measures 6 x 8 inches.  It is now up for auction on ebay here.

 

Little Spot

Today’s painting features this cute, spotted puppy.  I love dogs and I have noticed that whenever I need cheering up I invariably end up painting a dog or some sort.  Today started off on a bit of a bad note and lo and behold out came Little Spot during a painting session.  This is acrylic on canvas, 8x 10 inches and is available through my ebay auctions.

 

Rotund Pup

Yes, it is time for another plump animal!  I love painting plump animals and apparently dogs are not safe from my paintbrush.  This guy is a bit Dachshund-like which isn’t surprising given my love for this type of canine.  This painting is acrylic on canvas, measures 8 x 10 inches and is available on my ebay auctions.

 

White Dog Under the Stars

Two days ago I was at the vet with my kitty for some tests.  While waiting I saw two gorgeous white dogs.  I must have had them on the brain today because this painting was not at all planned to happen.  I like the soothing quality that this doggie has hanging out under the night sky.  It is currently available for purchase at my ebay auctions.

 

A Dog and a Cat

 

Here are the two latest paintings I have completed.  The first one titled Dog Knows Best is acrylic on canvas, 8 x 10 inches.  I absolutely love painting these type of “head shot” portraits of animals.  This dog is a fictitious one that I invented for fun.  The second painting, Dark Darling, is also 8 x 10, acrylic on canvas.  Both of these paintings have been sold.

 

Wistful Tabby

I’m back again after another little absence.  This time I have a special tabby.  I am naming this painting Wistful Tabby for the expression on the kitty’s face.  It is acrylic on canvas, measures 8 x 10 inches and has been sold.

 

The Flower

As usual I am falling behind in blogging.  I have no idea how other artists manage to paint, photograph, blog and live.  I feel like a blog failure.  No worries though, I have just the thing to cheer me up - this cute little owl with his precious flower.  I finished this painting today.  It is acrylic on canvas, 8 x 10 inches and has been sold.

 

Exercise Break

This cute little bird got tired while out for his afternoon exercise and decided to stop and rest for a minute on the mushroom.  Exercise Break is acrylic on canvas and measures 6 x 8 inches.  It has been sold.

 

More Stripes

Now I’m really becoming addicted to painting stripes.  This little dog seemed to come out of the blue today during a painting  session but as soon as he began to take form I just knew this guy had to have a striped outfit.  This piece is titled He’s Got Style and is acrylic on canvas, measuring 6 x 8 inches.  This painting has been sold.

 

I Love Stripes

Yesterday it was naturally striped cats, today it is cats that wear striped outfits.  I couldn’t resist painting more stripes so today kitty gets a striped shirt.  This little guy is an ACEO (2.5 x 3.5 inches) and has been painted with acrylics on watercolour paper.  He has been sold.
