Number 32 - My Pumpkin

My Pumpkin, 8x8, Oil on Hardboard

Well, I couldn't really do a dog and not a cat, now could I? When Jen challenged me to paint animals, I just had to paint a cat, too!

And what a coincidence, the Daily Paintworks weekly challenge was Paint Your Pumpkin! So, I got to put a kitten with a pumpkin, prove to Jen that I can really paint animals, AND I got another Halloween painting in! What a weekend!

Thanks for stopping by and looking at My Pumpkin!

Enjoy!!!

Number 33 - Bailey

Bailey, 8x8, Oil on Hardboard

This is a 'critter portrait' of one of our dogs, Bailey. She's only ten months old and gets in her fair share of predicaments, mostly of the trouble variety, but she's just so loveable and curious! This is her 'whatcha doin'?' look.

Jen challenged me to do an animal painting, so here it is!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at Bailey. Enjoy!!

Number 34 - Puppy Power

Puppy Power, 6x6, Graphite on Hardboard

Sometimes the power of a dog's love can move mountains - not to mention me. I did this little piece to try something new. Well, it started out with the intention of actually putting paint to the surface, but I didn't really get that far. It just looked right the way it is...

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Enjoy Puppy Power!

Number 35 - Pink Tail

Pink Tail, 8x8, Oil on Hardboard

Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I work for one of the world's largest airlines that supports this great cause, I decided to paint this one.

By the way, I can't really say which airline I work for. But I'm sure you can figure it out...  ;-)

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at the Pink Tail. Enjoy!

Number 36 - Jamaican Clouds

Jamaican Clouds, 6x8, Oil on Hardboard

I did this little painting from some pictures that Jen and I took while on vacation in Jamaica. I really like how the clouds in that part of the world just pop up in little 'towers' and keep going straight up.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out the Jamaican Clouds!

Enjoy!

Number 39 - A Wedding Toast

A Wedding Toast, 10x8, Oil on Gessoboard

OK, it's now ready for prime time! I kept this one hush-hush because I painted it as a gift for a very dear friend that got married yesterday, October 8th, and didn't want her to see it beforehand.

If you think it looks familiar, well, Cuvee Rouge and a Rose was painted as a reference for this one!

Congratulations, Helen and Kirk! I wish you the best in your life together and many happy memories to you both!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! I hope you enjoy my Wedding Toast.

Number 37 - Ocean Waves

Ocean Waves, 6x8, Oil on Gessoboard

So, like I said in my last post, Jen's been wanting me to do more water. Apparently she didn't think I could do it, but I think this one is a winning water painting!

The inspiration was a winner, too! This reference shot was taken from a beach in Jamaica during our last little weekend getaway in Montego Bay.

I can still hear the waves crashing on the shore and the birds as they hunt for little sand crabs...

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at the Ocean Waves!

Enjoy!!!

Number 38 - Cloudy Ocean Sunset

Cloudy Ocean Sunset, 5x7, Oil on Canvas Panel

I wanted to do something colorful in honor of autumn without doing leaves or pumpkins, at least not yet. Jen's been wanting me to do something with water, too, so I took to the photo references and found this little prize.

It IS colorful, hehe!

Enjoy the cloudy ocean sunset and thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Number 39 - TBA

Not yet ready for prime time...

Stay tuned...   ;-)
