First Snow Acrylic 7 x 5



SOLD

Snow can make the most interesting shapes in the landscape. For example, the old truck in this painting. One knows its a truck but the snow can't blanket and take away all its character. When it's the first snow and many of the leaves are still clinging to the trees the remaining spectacular color shows up so nicely with a white background. All great subjects for a image hungry artist!

Luci Acrylic 12 x 9



SOLD

I couldn't ask for a better subject for a painting! Luci is such a beautiful Westy that painting her was a pleasure. I love that splash of red she was wearing that day!

I have had a run of good luck with my pet portraits lately. Christy was a challenge because of her coloring, but I think I captured her in the final work.

Rocky Acrylic 7 x 5


Rocky was a fun puppy to paint because I know the dog personally. He is such a nice dog and his one floppy ear suits his personality to a tee.

Poser Acrylic 6 x 6



SOLD


Ever since this little one came into my life last year I end up painting her constantly. She is my loyal and lovable companion curled up in her bed next to my easel in the gallery. Consequently, she is often my muse.

Personal Journey Acrylic 7 x 5



SOLD

As I was painting this little church I couldn't help wondering how many people have
walked this path on their way to church pondering their own personal journey in life.

I Have been tagged by a couple of my fellow daily painters, Mark Adams and Mike Rooney. I have been amiss and not playing the game as quickly as I would like. I have been busily painting for my one man show in Scottsdale Arizona at the Bonner David Galleries which opens on December 18, 2008. Mark and Mike, I admire both of you as artists and the dedication you have to the daily painting movement. So thank you for the tagging and here's to getting to know more about all of my fellow painters !

1. I am a licensed Landscape Architect in the state of Colorado.

2. My middle name is Kerry which only my family uses. My mother was watching a Cary Grant movie the night I was born. Still haven't figured out why she chose this particular spelling though.

3. I graduated from the Culinary Institute in Denver with a specialty in Bakery. I particularly enjoyed the whole process of decorating cakes.

4. I have a bad boy side who secretly enjoys wearing leather and smoking an occasional cigar.

5. My favorite movie/series is "Ann of Green Gables".

6. My favorite book is the Chronicles of Narnia.

7. If I couldn't be an Artist, and I could magically become something else it would be a famous Singer because I have absolutely no musical talent but very much enjoy and respect those who do.
