PEOPLE AND PLACES - MORE RECENT WORK ..

Savannah at 18
I was invited to Savannah's family birthday party, and it was a wonderful time. For a gift, I drew this portrait based on a photo I took when Savannah and her family and I went hiking up Mt. Baker. Savannah and her mom were so happy with the portrait!

Paulina
This is my niece; the photo reference was sent to me by my sister. I was so struck by the intensity of her gaze, I started drawing it, just as an exercise. Her mom loved it so much, she asked me to finish it for her.

Here are two drawing studies I did for our watercolour class. They are based on photos of Black Rock Beach in Wales, and were generously offered as reference photos by Barb Thurgood. I am still working on the watercolour version of these.

Thank you for visiting!

LATEST WORKS ...

Another pose of my Australian friend's beloved dog. Must get around to mailing them ...

A friend's bull terrier, given as a Christmas gift.

I am still working on a watercolour version of the portrait.

A commission done for a birthday gift. The pup had just arrived by plane, and was being held and cherished by her new mom.

Linda kindly sent me a photo of Asia, posing with her portrait under the Christmas tree. She was so thrilled with her portrait that she was crying [from joy, I hope :) ]
