Alpaca Birthday Wishes

Alpaca Birthday Wishes

5x7 original acrylic painting on watercolor paper card

We recently went to visit a local alpaca farm. I was amazed at how cute these animals are, and I am fascinated by their fluffy abundance of fur on their heads. It is like they are all wearing cute little hats. I painted this piece for a friend's birthday. I hope she likes it. Visit my website to view more of my paintings.  SpohnStudio.com

This painting is not only rich in color it is loaded with texture. The petals are thick and have a 3 dimensional quality to them.  This was a commissioned painting. To find out more about my paintings, please visit my website. SpohnStudio.com

Pet Portrait

8x8, original oil

I was intrigued to paint this pet portrait using this neat perspective. The colorful rug in the background really brings his grey coat alive.

Pet Portrait of a Basset Hound

original oil, 6x6 inches

Basset Hounds have such expressive faces. Each time I paint one, I am amazed at their human like expressions. If you are interested in having a pet portrait painted of your pet, let me know.

Creative Mixer Artist Talk

I am giving a brief talk about my paintings that are now showing at the Paquette Gallery for the month of October. This Thursday night, October 10th is the Creative Mixer from 5:30-7:00pm in the Paquette Gallery at the SteamPlant. The Creative Mixer is put on by Salida Council for the Arts and they hold a Creative Mixer monthly, normally the 2nd Thursday of each month. 

They will also have a guitarist and magician at this Creative Mixer. How fun is that? If you are in the area, come and mix it up!  Here is their website:

I am pleased to announce that I will be showing my art at our local Paquette Gallery in the Salida Steamplant. This show will feature a lot of rabbits. These rabbits keep showing up in my paintings. Baby bunnies, wild rabbits, pet rabbits, hares, even posing in a still life or two. The other main theme seems to be sunflowers. There will be other flowers making an appearance also, so come to the opening and check it out. The reception will be on Friday, Oct. 4th from 5-7 pm. Light munchies and a bar will also be in attendance. All interested parties are cordially invited to attend.
