Sandland Silver Lustre, 12x12, oil

Here is another still life with a little cream pitcher of Sandland Silver Lustre. I found this little pitcher at the Goodwill. It was a marvelous find. It is the same piece in the large still life I did with peach satin.

Peach Satin and Silver, 24x18, oil

Though I paint many animals, particularly rabbits, my real love is painting still lifes. This is a painting I did for the Oregon Society of Artist's 2013 Fall Juried show. It won third place.

Great Horned Owl, 8x10, oil

My neighbor, Jim, is a photographer. He took a wonderful photo last summer of this Great Horned Owl. Thank you Jim for sharing your photo with me.

David's Bobcat, 10x8, oil

Last August we met friends at Pt. Reyes California for a week of hiking. Their son had spent the previous weekend with them and while on a hike spotted this bobcat in a gully protecting it's kill. He took a dramatic photo of the bobcat. David was kind enough to share the photos with me. Here is the painting I did from David Gray's photo.

Tabasco and Peppers, 12x12, oil

This painting took first place at the Oregon Society of Artists show, "200 for under $200". I was so surprised. There were so many great paintings and fantastic artists at the show I didn't expect to win anything.

Alan, 10x8, Oil

Another painting of my cat Alan.
