Torley the Dwarf Hamster



5" x 5" mixed media on Rives BFK Tan paper (my favorite!). Click to enlarge.

This is perhaps the smallest commissioned work I've ever done. He took a couple hours when I was between classes yesterday at Bloomington Art Center. I'm rather taken with the little fellow!

Louis the Golden Retriever



Louis in the Snow, 10" x 8" oil on canvas, commissioned portrait.

Below, the original state of this picture. Due to a miscommunication, I painted the dog with a summer background, when the client wanted snow. Whoops! Fortunately, I was able to change the season.

Toy Lippizan



Mixed media on brown paper, 7" x 6.5". Sold. Click to enlarge.

Created this morning just for the enjoyment of it. The horse is a Breyer model I've had since junior high. Toys often make interesting pieces of sculpture and I enjoy working from them.
