Lindy's Great Grandma's teapot

As you can see the vase has disappeared and has been replaced by an old milk bottle. Lindy's cousins confirmed that her Grandmother use a milk bottle to hold her red roses. So, the vase had to go. I am in the process of painting out the vase.
The left view is of the finished painting. The right view is of the painting in progress.

This is the start of a painting I am doing for Lindy Fisker. It is of her grandmothers teapot. I will post photos of the painting as it progesses.

Healy Heights Tower, oil, diptych, 12x12 and 16x12

This painting is of the tall communications tower that over looks the city from Council Crest. On our of my morning walks my neighbor and I walked up to Healy Heights from our street. When we arrived at the top the sun was shining through the trees illuminating the tower. This is the resulting painting from that days walk. My thought in making it a diptych was that it would create the illusion of height; as if it were so tall it would take 2 canvases to show the entire structure. Not sure if it works. Note that the two canvases do line up perfectly (both are 12" wide)unlike depicted here.

Burnt Sienna Field, 18x24, oil

This photo is a bit blurry. The painting is sharper. I'll work on getting a better photo posted.

Coconut and Snuggles, oil, 12x12

And, here is the finished painting. Coconut and Snuggles will be forever side by side in the green grass.

This is a commission for Candace. Coconut and Snuggles were litter mates. Sadly, Candace and her fiance just lost this

bonded pair of chocolate Netherland dwarfs to thymoma.

Whistling Duck, oil, 11x14

I painted this duck from a photo that my neighbors, Jim and Janice, took while on vacation in Australia. I was fascinated by the colors.
