Pets

I love animals and am inspired to paint them to honour their uniqueness and provide lasting treasures for their human friends. I enjoy incorporating different aspects of these little critters lives. Many paintings have been compiled by using multiple photos of the pet to achieve the best poses and backgrounds for the painting.

Tesse

This is beautiful, regal Tesse, short for Tesseract from a Wrinkle in Time. Dark & mysterious, Tesse was a wise feline with a commanding presence. She was a lifelong companion and spirit guide for a dear friend of mine. And I know that she is still keeping watch over her beloved humans.

Bubba is pals with our wheaton cross Ms. Sophie. Mr. Bubbs is bull dog through and through. He is a tough, gentle boy and accompanies Sophie on her daily forest walks.

Augie

Mr. Augs, Augie McDoggie, Augamuss Doggamus. Augie was our sweet boy. I painted this after he passed away and had a difficult time keeping the paint dry as often a tear would drop on the painting.
