a couple new paintings

I have a couple new paintings to deliver to the gallery.  The first is based on a photo by photographer Bill Glenn and is used with his permission.  I have changed several elements from the original photo.

Cades Cove

Pastel 9"x12"

This second one is from a photo I took recently.  This is Meigs Falls in the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.  Easy to miss if your not looking for it.

More progress on taffy WIP

Almost there with Taffy, about 75% done, hopefully I will be finishing her up tomorrow.  Nothing like painting a big fluffy black dog in snow LOL this one has been quite a challenge for me and I am struggling a bit with the reference and the painting but it is coming along.

Miss Kitty Portrait and Taffy WIP

I just finished a cat portrait and I am starting a new dog portrait.  The cat is Miss Kitty and it was painted in Pastels.  The painting measures 9"x12" and the client loved it :)

The dog I just started is still in that proverbial ugly stage but it is a big painting, 18"x24".  It is still a work in progress and hopefully will be completed by the end of the week.

Trying to keep busy!
