Latest Commission Dog Portrait - Black Lab

Pet Art

 Watercolor/Gouache 10x10

Here's Nixon - a handsome looking brown eyed, soft, fury friend, black Lab. And may I state, doesn't this dog have the sweetest eyes! 

We lost our Black Lab Kota last year around this same time in December. She was 16 years old and we were very fortunate to have the chance to adopt her from the local Coastal Humane Society in Brunswick, Maine, Animal Shelter at the young age of 9 months old! 

She was very loved and is dearly missed, and each time I paint a black Lab it brings back such wonderful memories of her. Nixon is the second Black Labrador Retriever that I've painted since our loss, each time I hope to capture the love and sweetness of this breed that I remember in her. 

If you are a pet lover or know someone that is...you may be interested in having a Pet Portrait completed of your/their animal, you can find more information about it here.

Here's our Kota - The escape Artist - she was a bit dirty here....I remember this day well. She did her Houdini act and made her rounds in the neighborhood this day....her bandana was brand new before she left, lets just say it had a bit of mud here and there when she got back.

Day 30 "Protector"

Last day of the 30 Day Painting Challenge, and I've had so much fun! To finish it off I painted a rooster. It symbolizes protection, courage and also is associated with kindness as it cares for the chickens. 

He's a colorful bird!

Day 14 "FOXY"

Day 14
"Foxy"
ACEO - Not For Sale

  This one was painted for one of my dearest friends. Her maiden name was Fox. 

This cute little fox hung out around our old house all the time. We could hear it doing it's strange territorial call at 2am in the morning. I would then jump up really quick and make sure our cat Taz was in the house!

  PROGRESS STEPS....

 

Just about finished!

Baxter Pet Portriat Steps in Progress

 

Baxter is the cutest name for this adorable little Chocolate Labrador! 

 Step 1 - First a few light washes

 Next I like to start on the eyes, they make the painting!

 Now it's time for more shading.

Once I get the shading in I felt it needed more highlights.

You can remove watercolor paint by lifting it out with clean water and a brush.

 

 Some final detailing and whiskers (I used white gouache for them).

" Miracle Millie"- Pet Commission Painting in Watercolor

Finding my newest passion in painting Pet Portraits most dogs and it comes at the perfect time for me. We had to put down our loving dog and family member Kota (Black Lab) of 16 years. I understand how much our pets mean to us and painting them has been wonderful therapy for me.

"Apollo" - SOLD

Apollo is in the middle of a nor'easter!

SOLD

This painting of Apollo was completed all in Gouache paints instead of my normal watercolor's and it was so much fun! The paint certainly flows a lot different with gouache than with watercolors, but I really love the opaque nature of it.

Black and white monochromatic style with the exception of the eyes. I used a great starter set of
Winsor Newton Designers' Gouache,  on 140 Arches Cold Press paper, and only a small handful of brushes.

"Hello World" - Spring Chick Hatching - Watercolor

   "HELLO WORLD"

  5x7 Watercolor/Gouache on 140 Arches Cold Press

Daily Painting #41


Since Easter is just around the corner I was ready to paint something springy!

Though you all may be interested as to how I picked the name....
My son  Camden was working with his dad on the computer last night and Larry was teaching him how to code in HTML. He had downloaded the program - Kids RUBY for him to play with. By the way, what a great little program for kids, I would highly recommend it!

So sweet to watch them....Larry was being all nostalgic...reminiscing about his first programming experience as a child and telling Camden all about it.  Telling my age here, but we went to school in the 80's ...do you all remember "Hello World"?

I thought about naming it The Escape, or Peeking Out, but last nights cute little son and dad time took me back to HELLO WORLD! :)




Happy Painting

This little piggy is just the cutest thing. When I posted it on my facebook page I had a response almost immediately from Kim, who's daughter Lilly, absolutely loves pigs! So Lilly...I named this little pig, Lilly's Pig in honor of you. :)

Today's Project 8x10 PIG

 

Masked and starting painting.....

First layers finished...

Second layers finished....

I'm not completely finished with the big guy but it would appear that I'm done for today.

We'll see if I jump to something new tomorrow.  Sometimes it's best to sit on a painting and let me tell you....that after this past 30 days of painting straight completions, I'm absolutely okay with waiting. 

 I have this beautiful horse just staring at me...waiting for her turn on the paper. I'm hoping to get my art order in tomorrow. If you can believe it, I'm out of Arches Watercolor paper!

ROOSTER - Bird with an attitude!

  Kellie Lynn ART

 $100 Framed 8x10

I decided to paint a Rooster today. Why?

My husband and I are sitting on the couch this morning with our coffee - thinking of the Turkey dinner soon to come. Yes the bird is in.....Somehow we got on the subject of raising chickens.

Larry (aka "Hubby") came across an article in Mother Earth News about how back in 1918 the government recommends that every family raise 2 chickens per person, and how that will keep a family with fresh eggs! We have a cat and I wasn't really sure if it would work for us, but what a fun thing to try. I hear they are very entertaining and, BONUS....they eat ticks and mosquitoes.

Here is a fun fact - Did you know there is such a thing as a Chicken Diaper! Yup....wow huh!

Our neighbors are planning on getting chickens this coming spring...maybe we'll see how it goes with them first (smile).
