Second Doberman Mini

Another miniature finished.  Again, a very loose background.  

Doberman Miniature

I have added a very vague background to this little mini.   My thought is that I want you to see the Doberman and not the background.

Woodpecker Miniature Finished

This one is finished.  I have started a new woodpecker mini and will post its progress soon.

Beloved, Deuce, is Gone

Deuce, the model of many of my paintings has passed.  My deepest sympathy to Deuces' best friend, Courtney.

A New Surface

Trying to do a miniature on some gessoed illustration board.  Its about 2 x 2.  Not real happy with this one.  I think I will stick to Ivorine in the future when doing my miniature portraits.

New Business Cards Coming

I have designed and ordered two new business cards for IlluxCon which is coming up shortly.  I used the Lawkeepers on one card and the Mermaids on the other. 

George Washington Miniature

One of my favorite subjects is George Washington.  I started this miniature a few months back and set it aside.  My Bad!  He is now back on track.  I am using a postage stamp as my reference.  The stamp is a Gilbert Stuart portrait and I have seen the original at the National Gallery of Art.
