Horse Portraits

“The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit, and freedom.”  -Sharon Ralls Lemon

Horses are magnificent animals.  They convey strength, and great spirit.  Their eyes are the windows to their souls.

I love doing colored pencil paintings of horses.  Each breed of horse such as Quarter Horse, Thoroughbred, Arabian, Clydesdale, etc. have their own distinctive features that make them an interesting subject for a horse portrait, or horse painting.

Horse portraits, or paintings are a great addition to your home decor.  They also make a wonderful gift for a friend or family member.

Dog Portraits

“I think dogs are the most amazing creatures; they give unconditional love.  For me, they are the role model for being alive”  Gilda Radner

Dogs are a favorite companion to many people who consider them man’s best friend. They are loyal, protective, and loving. Whether they are a small breed of dog such as a Chihuahua, Beagle, or medium to large breed dogs such as Border collie, German Shepard, or Golden Retriever they become a part of our family.  They share life activities as we exercise, travel, socialize, and rest.  

They help improve our emotional well-being by helping us relieve stress and keep us company, so we are not lonely. They encourage us to keep active by taking them for a walk or playing with their favorite toys.   A dog portrait is a wonderful way to honor your loyal pet.  It can be a great gift for a family member or friend.  A dog portrait is also a way of creating a lasting memory of cherished pet when it has crossed over the rainbow.

Cat Portraits

“Time with cats is never wasted.” Sigmund Freud

Cats have such unique personalities from being aloof to purring and wanting your undivided attention.  They become a treasured family pet.

As a pet portrait artist find their I find their eyes fascinating.  They have a variety of fur markings and colorations through the different breeds. Such as the blue eyes of a Siamese cat to the green eyes of a black cat, to the fur lengths and colorations of Calico cats, Tortoise shell cats, Persian cats, Maine Coon cats, Sphynx cats, etc.

Bird Paintings

“I would like to paint the way a bird sings.” Claude Monet

As a bird watcher myself I find that they our interesting subjects for a bird painting.  The birds in nature have such a beautiful setting to showcase their beauty.  Birds that we might find visiting our backyard feeders, or on a nature trail have come in many different colors such as the Cardinal, Bluejay, Robin, Red Wing Blackbird, Goldfinch, etc.  Then there are birds of prey such as Owls, eagles, hawks, etc. that blend into their surroundings. They all are great subjects for bird paintings.

Birds can also be a family pet such as a parakeet, parrot, etc. that can be cherished paintings.
