Two Little

Two Little, 10"x8" oil on stretched canvas, commission

This is Two Little, a sweet little yorkie who has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. As a pet portrait artist I am often asked to paint dearly loved pets that are no longer with us. I still feel that I captured some of this little guy's sparkly personality. 

And I also realized that this is the third yorkie I have painted since January. 

Plein Air 2013 - Cloud Chasing

On Monday I went painting Plein Air for the first time this year, with my friend (hardcore plein air painter) Aaron Johnson. We drove out to a nice lookout spot on the old Pullman Highway, then raced back to his studio to pick up a Grad Student (painting) from the U of I - then back out for one more quick painting... Aaron is a whirlwind of paint and brushes - you have to be when you are trying to capture clouds. Below are my ventures, check out Aaron's wonderful painterly paintings on his website: www.cordellart.com
