Legend | Watercolor Painting



"Legend" 

12" x 12" 
Watercolor, 2015 


So this little guy is Legend. You might remember him from when I took some newborn photos of him, and when he was a month old. This painting captures him at one month old as a HyTyme Drum Horse.

This painting was part of my 2015 Solo Art Show, Western Gold. And I'm proud to say this little medicine hat colt (the painting version) has found a happy home. Thank you to me newest collector!

Who can resist this happy little face? I know a good friend of his owner's commissioned this as a Christmas present for them this year and I bet she loved it. ;-)

Charlotte | Christmas Ornament

This is a very cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy, but what little puppy isn't cute? This was another Christmas present commission and I was told that the owners of this cute little girl are going to keep the likeness of her up all year.

Max | Christmas Ornament

What a spunky little terrier. I grew up with some Jack Russell terriers when I was a kid living in town. I loved playing with them. Their names were Spanky and (I forget the other ones' name - it was 22 years ago) ...

Molly: A Golden Life

I have a soft spot for Goldens, I grew up with one and she was so smart, so sweet, and so loving. Someday I would love to have another one. Molly's owner told me that she was everything a Golden Retriever is known for.

December Snow | Photography

Yesterday, John and I went for a little trip up the mountain to look at the snow first hand, also it was our first trip in the snow with the Highlander.

We drove up to Timberline Lodge, but there was a cloud bank up there, so we turned around and headed to White River. But on the way down from Timberline, I snapped a few photos since the sun was giving an amazing glow right before it descended below the horizon.

At White River Sno Park, we met an Eagle Scout (circa 1964) and his cute little pooch. Then John led the way down towards the river and stomped out a spot to set up my tripod. I really needed the tripod since the warm sun rays were no where to be seen. I used a longer exposure and higher ISO to capture the images of the cold, cold White River ambling through the snow frosted rocks.

If all goes to plan, sometime this winter John and I will go snowshoeing. I haven't done that in ages and I'm itching to get somewhere out of the main stream stops. 

I hope you enjoy these photos, thanks for looking, and stay warm!

Chase | Christmas Ornament


Chase


This is a memorial ornament for a funny little pug. He was owned by the owner of Kinco (my office day job) and had to be put down before Thanksgiving. He had a full life (survived cancer) and it was his time to move on. He was loved by many people.
