This fluffy red Chow Chow puppy is here to celebrate National Dog Day with you!
Dogs give us so much, and this original painting, titled "Hóngsè de gǒu," was donated to help pets in need. My love for animals is why they are a regular subject in my art, and it feels extra special to celebrate them today.
I'm happy to share this work-in-progress view of Athena, a beautiful German Shepherd. This is the underpainting stage of my traditional pet portrait.
Although this original is already spoken for, I wanted to share a glimpse into the process. The painting is created using duo oils on an 8"x10" panel.
This Juneteenth, I'm honored to share "Guiding Star," my original "big eye" painting of Harriet Tubman.
After varnishing this piece, I took a moment to truly see her, unconstrained by a frame. It felt fitting to share this image today as we commemorate Juneteenth, a day of profound significance for freedom and reflection.
This original painting is crafted with duo oils on a wood panel and measures approximately 8"x10".
I hope you are having a wonderful Easter! Here is "Dryad of the Golden Bloom" to wish you well. Capturing the essence of springtime, this dryad has luminous big eyes, a blushing countenance, and verdant lush green hair that is adorned with daffodils.
The original painting is duo oils on panel and measures 8"x10"

This little cardinal and I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! My mom claimed this painting some years ago, so the original is no longer available, but the little bird still wishes to spread joy this holiday season. With much love, we hope that your day will be merry and bright.

I have finally completed Lovers Bough, the original little bird has been adopted (thank you), but I have had some interest expressed in prints. If you'd like to be put on the list to be informed when I'm able to release prints, please contact me. I'm debating now on the subject of my next small painting and also planning on moving forward on the larger piece Lovers Bough was a prequel for...
It has been a while since I've posted a wip of any of my personal works. It's been a while since I've worked on them... Facebook shamed me by posting a memory post of this, I hadn't realized how long I'd left it by the wayside. Here is a WIP work in progress image of this original chibi lovebird bird on a sakura cherry blossom branch painting. It is 5"7" on canvas and is being painted in duo oils. Here I've painted the base of the flowers, I still need to paint their cores and put some final details on the little bird.
I had a blue betta fish, I'm not sure if he was ever a father, but he certainly wanted to be. He built his little bubble nest on a regular basis... Happy father's day from Phinneas and I. I hope you have a day filled with love and beauty.
Octina and her flapjack octopus friend and I are celebrating mother's day today! We hope you have a wonderful one. I remember reading somewhere that "mother" is a special word for "love" and it really stuck with me. I cherish the wonder that is the good fortune I have in my beautiful mother and the amazing moms all around...
I hope you have a wonderful Easter day! My little bunny ball of fluff that I painted wanted to wish you a hoppy Easter from amidst the calla lilies blooming as well...
Happy Valentine's Day! Hugs from me and betta fish kisses from Lovfina's friend. I hope you have a wonderful day.
I hope that you are having a wonderful holiday season and that this day brings you joy. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
