A Relaxing Day in My Studio

Painting relaxes me in a way little else does, and sometimes I just can't (or don't want to) put down my brushes for hours at a time. Last night I painted until late and today I spent this sunny day in my bright studio playing with a variety of subjects and styles.

Bearded Collies-- I'm in the mood to paint shaggy dogs

An elegant adult in the snow


Fuzzy Beardie puppy


A Bible verse I was meditating on


African Wild Dog sketch using a photo of Arielle's. The dog was sitting in a puddle of water.


Valentine's flowers from Stephen in different light and in different styles.

At night under artificial lighting


In natural daylight-- it fascinates me the way blue flowers, especially, look different in different lighting.
