Work in Progress: Haircut2

I wanted to share a work in progress that's on the closer end to completion, but still needs some tweaks here and there. It's the second part of my 'Haircut' diptych.

Chloe

Here's a dog portrait commission I've been working on and finally feel that it is finished! Chloe is the first of 4 portraits (I'm working on the second currently) that are small 6 x 8 paintings. The series is a homage to the family's past and present beloved canine friends.  I will continue to post them as they come out!

Hay Bale Commission

8 x 10 oil on canvas panel

Here's the latest commissioned I did for a wonderful client. I really like how it came out; combining a light playful atmosphere with a more graphic representation. I've been working on a lot of figurative pieces recently and this has made me excited about doing more landscapes!

Sneak Peek!

I haven't posted in a while because I've been primarily working on commissions and my Art Lotto portrait (and I haven't wanted to spoil anything)! So I thought before I leave for the beach this week I should at least show a 'sneak peek' at my art lotto piece. I'm really happy with how it came out and so excited to see what everyone else has been working on!

Carrot Study

5 x 7 oil on canvas panel

Here's a study of some lovely carrots I picked up at the farmer's market this morning, they have such wonderful character with all the varying shapes and sizes.. 

Striped Avocados

I haven't done a small still life in a while since I've been solely working on completing the larger figure paintings for my most recent show. And alas, now I can take a quick breather and do something for fun that isn't as time consuming! And I love painting avocados :)

Women's Work Opening

I had the opportunity to participate in an all women art showt titled "Women's Work",  it consisted of 5 (not including myself) fabulous women artists who live and create right out of Harrisonburg. The show had a variety of different styles and mediums making it a great mix of talent, not to mention we had a great turnout! Thank you to everyone who came out to support us, if you couldn't make the opening the show will be up all month at the Smith House.
