Great Gray Owl WIP 2

Here is an update on the owl. Mapping in all those feathers took ages but now back to the fun part of painting in details. This photo is showing it more red than it actually is.

Great Gray Owl 1

I have been working on this Great Gray Owl. It is acrylic, 18 x 24 on Gessobord. Still a lot of work to do on the face, and once the owl is done there will be a lot more grass all around him. I have been wanting to paint an owl for a long time, and finally have the chance. Great Grays have such interesting dinner plate faces!

Koda finished

I think I am finished with Koda's portrait. I'm going to sleep on it tonight and get a fresh look in the morning before signing it.

Another Koda update

I am really enjoying painting Koda, she is such a beautiful dog! Almost done with her head now, then I can start the rest of her which won't take quite as much time a I won't have to work around eyes and nose and such.

Koda Update

It doesn't look like much progress but there are a few more hours into this now.

Koda Portrait progress

A few more hours into Koda's portrait.

Koda, Australian Shepherd

I have started a commission of a beautiful red tri Australian Shepherd. The painting of the blue merle, Buster, is Koda's "brother". I am really enjoying painting Koda so far.
