Youtube Dog and Tootsie Pop Oil Painting

Just a little "tour" of the painting.

Be sure and scroll down and turn off the sounds of nature before viewing this video.

Youtube Bird Video

Several people the past few years have asked why I don't show my work on youtube and I finally got around to doing that yesterday. I found music by Kevin MacLeod that I love. It's majestic, old world, colorful and exotic like the birds. I hope you'll enjoy it. I'll put up links to the dog and still life videos in the next couple days too. Scroll down the page to turn off the nature sounds before you listen to the video.

These dogs are caught in the act of stealing a human moment. The dog in the middle is doing the "deer in the headlights" look while thinking he's hiding his Tootsie Pop. (Notice the bulge in his cheek?)

The dog on the right is doing the forward stare (if I don't make eye contact they won't see me.)

The dog on the left is giving us the sideways glance while openly enjoying his candy.

Anyone who has lived with dogs has seen these looks!

Edges are painted red with white Tootsie Pop lettering and art.

Boo Boo and Bat Girl Painting Missing

24" x 36" Oil on Canvas: Commission

If you think you've seen these faces before on my blog and elsewhere you have. Back in February of this year their painting (below) was on it's way to Texas to hang in their home. The large painting mysteriously disappeared between Michigan and Texas and was looked into for 3 long months before given up as just permanently lost. To this date they have not been found. Odd how something so large can be overlooked or just misplaced. So now we have a new rendition of Boo Boo and Bat Girl. It's on it's way via another carrier.

Scream Rocky Style

16" x 20 " Oil on Canvas: Commission

My friend Mary (not talking in 3rd person here, it's another Mary) is an avid bird lover and rescuer. She and her husband have taken in many birds and work with bird rescue organizations. Her husband has been known to go rescue baby ducks from a city sewer. They deeply care for birds and go to great lengths to help them when they can. I so very much admire them for their diligence and love.

When Mary came to me with this idea for her husband I was excited. Their parrot Rocky had been on a screaming tangent for some time and she thought this would be a fun painting to have. I just completed it and it's in the drying stages. It will be on it's way to their home very soon. I'm so happy she chose me to carry out her creative idea. It was a very enjoyable painting to do.

You can visit Mary and her family on her blog Parrot Musings. It's a fun blog to read and anyone with birds or not will appreciate the stories. You'll be able to see Rocky and his pals and their antics.
