Combover




I snapped this fellow in Sayulita last Feb. and thought he might look good next to Tor-Arne's chicken.  I loved his beautiful colours and that jaunty comb over his eye look.

Toby

This painting of Toby is a commission for Tanya and family who lost their beloved companion a few weeks ago. My granddaughters knew him and loved him as well.  They attended daycare there and now go after school.  I met him myself a few times and he was a gentle friendly sort of guy.  Not the best photo.

Ay Chihuahua








This little guy sure has it going on with his tie and tongue hanging out the side.  Used a little different technique on this smaller surface with just a rough pencil sketch underneath.  I usually do a fairly detailed charcoal or paint sketch, but I liked developing the likeness with colours, lights and darks in a looser manner.  I think a better overall result.

Shane's 69' El Camino








This commission was a blast to paint in that the background is taken from a 16" model artfully constructed by Shane's uncle.   His uncle was also restoring the real car, and modifying it prior to his passing.  So here we have an image of a life sized car sitting inside a model of an old time garage.
