Kona Murray



Kona Murray was a proud Golden lab.  
She was trained as a service dog, so when her parents got her, they were very lucky.  She was a lady and well-mannered.  She now resides at Rainbow Bridge, where doggies go to wait for there parents.
Merry Christmas, Jenny and Brian.
May this bring you good memories of Kona.

Emma Carson


Emma Carson is a LADY! 
 She is soft and feminine and loves her Mom and Dad.  
She proudly struts around the neighborhood, doing her little girly steps,
 and loves  it when a passerby oooh's and aaah's over her adorable little self. 
 Emma proves that great things come in tiny packages.

I laughed while I painted this.  
Hope that it makes you smile or laugh too!

The BOXER


Simon and Garfunkel write and sing a lot of songs.  
If you listen carefully to the words, you can really understand some of their messages.
After changes, after changes, we are more or less
the same.

Molly Klitten

Molly Klitten is the doggie of Gail and Marty Klitten.  
She lives with her parents and Mandy, another doggie who looks a lot like Molly.
Molly came to live with Mandy when Gail's mother needed to find her a home.
When I met Molly, I just wanted to pet her soft fur and kiss her darling nose.
She is sweet and adorable and gentle.

RINGS

A playfulness found in the circus, a repetition of rings.
I photographed this lovely model over a year ago.
She posed for our class with a hula hoop. 
 I took her, her hoop, and imagined a circus like background with lights and action and fun.

I hope that you enjoy her.

Aura....

Nudes are difficult for me.  
I love the tones of skin, but I somehow generally mess up something.
This is an image that I have thought about painting for a while.
Hope that you enjoy her.
