Wooden Horse

This is a Christmas ornament I left out when packing up the Christmas decorations. I was trying to get the feeling of the wood in this painting. Now it's back to the TV to watch the inauguration!

Note: After posting the first photo, a few areas jumped out at me that just had to be fixed - so I painted a little more and photographed it again! We're never satisfied - ha! ~Gay)

Dog Face (photo and underpainting)

This is an 8 x 8 study that I've just started of the small photo that was sent to me (see photo above). The owner had requested a 20 x 20 painting of their dog but with only this reference I was hesitant to do a large one without first trying out a smaller version. I'm going to work on this one today so I'll send you an update next week. ~Gay

The Line Up

Happy New Year! I'm back in the painting room and am working on several small paintings.
