Procreate of Onna

 As I studied Onna to paint her, I used my Procreate program to sketch her and get the feel of her face and her dimensions. Procreate is a wonderful tool to aid us as artists.

Beautiful Onna, the Gentle Giant

 

ONNA. Great beauty and stunning fuzzy child. -

.  

This is Onna.  She was a proud Native American dog., daughter of friends Judy OConnell and Steve Carne.she now lives at Rainbow Bridge and I hear she’s having a fine time there. I so love painting these critters. Enjoy her sweetness and beauty. 

If I Were A Rich Man

If I Were A RICH MAN is an image from Cuba, where a dear friend and superb photographer, Gini Pringle made this image.  From the moment I saw it, it made me smile.  I just and to paint this man.  He seemed satisfied with his lit cigar, and a lap and hat adorned with his roosters.  A colorful scene in many ways.  I hope you enjoy it.

I KNOW A SECRET.....

Some things are universal worldwide.

Children are beautiful.

This darling little girl was perched in her doorway in Cuba,

Mother not far behind her -- as my friend Gini, photographed her.

Smiling face and twinkling eyes,

Saying, "I know a SECRET....."

I couldn't wait to paint her.

Cheeseburger In Paradise....

I love painting whimsical stuff that makes me 

Here it is -- a big bite of heaven on a bun.  

Hope it makes you smile too.  YUMMMMM.

Dance Like Nobody's Looking

I have been experimenting with a more impressionistic approach

to humans and animals.  I love movement, and the human body is 

lovely to paint.  This was painted from memory of a model in class.
