SASHA - Cat, 14" x 18" Acrylic

Melinda, wanted a simple "Classic Masters" background for her beloved cat, Sasha. Hundreds and probably thousand's of micro strokes created Sasha's fur, creating form and texture with multi-colored layering. Classy realism!

NEVILLE "My Furry Prince" - Dog, 20" x 20"

The Flagship painting of my business, this is my own dog, Neville. The title of the work comes from a story where a former roommate caught me secretly serenading my pet pooch as he layed sprawled in the hallway. The improvisational ditty, sung with the dramatic fervour of 1940's MGM Classic Musical consisted of the lyrics...you guessed it "My Prince, my Furry Furry Prince," and so a pet painting business was born.

The bright colors and fantasy element of the background gives this a fun and comical style, suitable for kids work and those with a good sense of humor. It also illustrates how wording can be incoporated as a painted element.
