Duro Visits an Art Show

Duro Visits an Art Show

Duro wasn't all that interested in the art, but was polite and allowed his owner to shop and view my paintings at a recent art show.

Backyard Bantum

Backyard Bantum

Oil on Board

I really liked the strutting pose of this bird. A fellow artist posted a series of reference photos of her backyard flock. And I think this fellow has the great All American Rooster look about him. Sometimes, when I am at an outdoor art show, I seem to here a lot of comments as to why I only have one chicken painting... as it seems folks like to put lots of chickens in their kitchens.  Well, that makes sense, they are colorful and interesting with great personalities; and what better way to start your day than admiring a great chicken painting! This painting is for sale for $85.00 and includes free shipping in the Continental USA.

I finished this piece a few days ago, but since my old computer crashed I had to wait until a new tower arrived to be able to post again. I used to have a flock of Polish fancy chickens centuries ago and I just love all their whimsical floppy feathers.

Pet Portraits, Black and White Cat

Donna's Cat

7 x 7 (oil on board)

My friend and fellow artist, Donna, displayed this portrait of her cat (Lightning) that I painted last month, in her booth while we were showing at our recent show in Las Cruses, NM. She had so many customers interested in the painting, that she sent them over to my booth to inquire about pet portraits. So for a limited time, you too can have your pet immortalized in oil paint in an artsy manner, like Donna's cat, Lightning. Send me several good photos (preferably head shots) by e-mail, or if you prefer, regular postal mail (PO Box 1231, Salida, CO 81201) Please write down your pet's true eye color, as it is often difficult to discern in a photo. Also, please include your e-mail address or phone number in case I have additional questions. These will be pet portraits done on 7 x7 board and they will only cost $85.00, including free shipping in the Continental USA. (if you would like a larger size portrait, such as a 15 x 15 the cost will be $225.00 and there will be a small shipping charge)

Send me the name of your pet also, so I can title the painting. Send your information to:

susanmspohn@gmail.com

To pay for your pet portrait here on-line, just click the size of portrait you want and then the  BUY NOW button below, and make sure you leave you address, e-mail and phone #. I look forward to receiving your pet photos!

Charlie

Charlie (the roof-top kitty)

5 x 7

oil on board

Today's painting is from a reference photo I took of Charlie, our stray, feral cat that lives on our roof outside of my painting studio. He is sort of a scruffy looking cat, normally dirty from rolling in the dust, but a large cat, now over-weight since he gets regular meals. He has the ability to jump from roof-top to roof-top across our neighbors houses and sheds. He has striking yellow-green eyes, and a nice pattern of gray spots on his overall white fur. This painting is for sale for $55.00 and includes free shipping in the Continental USA. Contact me by e-mail for more information: susanmspohn@gmail.com

Most dog breeds look to me like they could be entirely different species of animals. It is amazing how much variety there is among dogs. Here is a big dog, who has a great character face.
