April (Snow) showers, bring May....?

I just got a chance to post these photos from last weekend April 19th and 20th. We had the latest snowfall here in North Seattle in 30 years! Above is a view out the second floor window looking at a very snowy redwood tree.














This was just the beginning, we ended up with about three inches, most of the snow hit at night and was melting by the morning of the next day.
















One leary and cold chicken as the snow storm starts. She spent the day inside the Chicken coop glaring at the snowflakes.

Today its 55 degrees,a little more like a spring day.

Rucky's Custom Portrait

After seeing Frankie's cool painting, Rucky wanted his own portrait and so did his owner.















Rucky was happy to chill in the sun with a fruity frozen drink near the sea shore.















This was a big hit with Rucky's owner. We did a custom portrait on 16 x 20 gallery wrapped canvas in Acrylic paint. If you look at Frankie's painting below and click to enlarge you can see Rucky looking out from a painting hanging on the wall.

Frankie's custom Portrait

Earlier this year I was commissioned to do a custom painting for a poodle owner who contacted me through my website. First we started with good photos of "Frankie" a pretty cool black standard poodle.













I found out that Frankie's favorite spot was the sofa and his favorite toy was a big yellow stuffed duck that he loved to pull the stuffing out of. I did a pencil rough and sent it to the owner and Frankie.
They loved it!!















I did the border and sketched out the drawing onto the 16 x 20 canvas.















The finished product! Click to enlarge.
