New works from the mountain waterways

These pieces have been in the works for a while and pretty close to completion. They are from a beautiful stretch of water outside Brevard, NC. A third is in progress and will follow these when ready. Enjoy.

Dillon

This dog belongs to a friend in Black Mountain. It is a Sheltie-Papillon cross-breed. A Sheltion as my friend calls it.  Enjoy.

Titmouse In Gold

These wonderful little birds live all around my house. There is a dogwood tree just outside my kitchen window with bird feeders so I see quite a variety. This is pastel on Rives BFK printmaking paper, 10 x 11.

Hayley

One of my good friends in Charlotte has a little Schnauzer and this little dog runs out to greet me every time I drop by. She had just had a trim so she was clean cut.  Enjoy.

Camelia's are blooming

There's a lady across the street with a beautiful camelia bush in bloom and here's a couple from her yard.

Truck Of Many Colors

Here's an old army truck I found at an homeplace soon to be demolished. I appreciated the weathered colors across the body and kept the background simple so as to not distract from the truck.

Old Brady

Here's one of several dog portraits I'm working on. This is an old Lab and I had to get on the ground late one afternoon to get the reference photos for this. I loved the collar how it curled around at the bottom. It is pastel, 13 x 13.5.
