Mocha

While at the 2012 Pet Expo in Charlotte I painted this beautiful shepherd mix named Mocha. I cropped in close to capture his strong features. I started with a quick sketch as shown.

Resting In The Mist

This is the third piece from the Cumberland Rec area of TN near Chattanooga. It is a beautiful little setting I found on my second trip to Greeter Falls. This lies above the main falls and I just loved the deep rich colors where the water covers the rock. It is 24 x 30, oil on canvas.
