Here is a postcard I made recently to accompany a residency application to Elsewhere in Greensboro, NC. Check it out, it looks like a fabulous place. Oh, and wish me luck!

I haven’t posted in a while but there are plenty of new works (and some old ones too) posted on my website! Go check it out. I’ve added some new galleries as well as some new works to some of the existing galleries.
Below is a snapshot of my new “Commissions” gallery on my website.
I do many pet portraits, house and property portraits and any other sentimental still life or landscapes you can think of. The majority of the commissions I do are for friends or family of the purchaser. They make great thoughtful gifts.

I don’t have a bird painting for you today, but I didn’t think you’d be upset because I have a sketch of a chihuahua in a car. It’s just rough but really, how could that possibly disappoint, right? Right. Chihuahua… heh.

Portraits of adorable Findley, Okie and Box were recently commissioned for a birthday present. They were such a pleasure to draw, I can just imagine walking and cuddling with them!

A couple of dogs I walked have left to Holland with their owner Tina and I get to frolic with them no longer. I do however get to look at their adorable faces whenever I want though, because I’ve done their portraits.
I’ve started doing pet portraits because I adore animals as subject matter and why wouldn’t someone want a portrait of their favourite family member? Am I right? So, here are my portraits of Poldi and Muffin:
Oh, and I should also mention, Muffin is quite internet savvy and keeps his own blog: Poodle Muffin in Canada

The opening in Fredericton for the group show All Places Beautiful was a lot of fun and I met so many great people. The works are selling quickly so stop by soon. Here is a review in the Daily Gleaner: Celebrating All Places Beautiful at Ingrid Mueller Art & Concepts
I’m celebrating the sunshine and warmer weather by painting some sunny dog-walking scenes near my blindingly bright studio window:
