Dog Days Studio
Retiring in the Dog Days of summer has allowed me to focus on my creative endeavors. I do commissioned pet portraits in colored pencil on suede board and pastel on pastelmat. I also create more impressionistic watercolors. My passion is animals and nature. I prefer to focus on the beauty of nature and beautiful animal souls...there is enough stress and negativity to occupy our minds.
Please contact me for affordable, one of a kind gifts for yourself or friends and family.
Watercolor works
I am really enjoying continuing my watercolor classes and skills. Now that I am actually fully retired, I have more time to put into watercolor, portraits, journalling and the business end of things. Check my social media for new paintings
Chicken Scratch
I started creating these designs as a warmup while working on portrait commissions. I use my left (non-dominant) hand and a 10-minute timer to sketch the chicken in ballpoint pen. I then add some pops of color with watercolor markers. I hope you enjoy these whimsical 5x7 cards as much as I enjoy creating them. Each card is an original greeting card that can also be framed.
All non-original art greeting cards are now marked down to $2.00!
