Study "Apples Falling from a Basket"


Oil on canvas panel
9"x12"
NFS

Recently I received a complimentary copy of Art Review Magazine.  Although it had a few good articles, mostly it contained paintings for sale by various galleries. One of the paintings advertised for sale was "Apples Spilling From a Basket" by Adam Lehr, painted in 1903.  I decided to do a study.  Not too bad if I do say so myself.

Wolf


Oil on canvas panel
11"x14"
$50 (unframed)

This painting was done several years ago but I have always loved it.  It was the first animal painting that I ever did.  I used a photo from a calendar as a reference.  The photo (from 1991) is long gone.

A Guernsey Cow Portrait


A Guernsey Cow
11"x14"
Oil on canvas panel
$75  Feramed

I have had a love affair with cows for the past 20 or more years, so it's no surprise to anyone who knows me that I have finally painted one.  The real mystery is why it has taken so long.  I suspect that  more cow paintings will show up in the coming year.

Angel & Frisbee






Angel & Frisbee
16"x 20"
Oil on stretched canvas 
SOLD

Angel and Frisbee is a commissioned piece done as a surprise for Wendy Greenley, a renowned children's author from her husband.  This piece, like all the other pet portraits was created from using photographs.  In this case, by combining three photographs to get the final design as none of the photos had the dogs together.

The dogs themselves have a remarkable story.  Instead of attempting to retell the story, I suggest you follow the link to Wendy's blog. I promise you, it is worth the read.

If you are interested in having your pet painted, please contact me for more information.
