Perfect Ending

Perfect Ending

9 x 12, pastel

I am in need of a title for this painting!!! The sea is not my forte, never been around it often.  Any ideas are welcome.

Many thanks to Ryan Fernandez for allowing me to use his photo to create this painting. This was his view while working one evening I believe......can you imagine????

This painting won second place at the Anything Goes show at the New Braunfels Art League Gallery earlier this year. The reference photo was from a dear artist friend, Angie Brown. She was such a fabulous artist in varied mediums. I asked permission from her daughter to use this photo for the painting and entry. 

Stay safe!

Don't remember where the reference photo for this painting was taken, perhaps heading down to the coast. All I know that scenes like this are becoming fewer and far between. There is so much development where I live and the rich farmland is paying the price.

Commission

Isn't that the sweetest face you have ever seen? Commissions are a double edged sword... so appreciative that someone would think I could create a lasting memory, but at the same time wondering if I can really pull it off! When I was approached by Cowboy's loving human to create a  memory of the 'old boy', I was a little concerned until I saw the reference photo. It was awesome! Then my concern was, could I do it justice!

Cowboy was unveiled to his human today and he was very pleased. I was thrilled. I know the pain of losing a loved pet. My heart felt good that I had a part in a lasting memory that they can hang in their home.
