Oval Wooden Ornament- St. Bernards

I was delighted to portray a number of these beauties last year...
A Bevy of Bernards!

Curved Porcelain Ornament- Layla

Same ornament shape...different spaniel...Layla, the CKCSpaniel, companion dog extraordinaire

Curved Porcelain Ornament-Marne

Another old fav...
The background was done in gold paint and it looked lovely, but you cant get that translated in a photo!

Ball Ornament-Sepia Puppies

Going back a few years to an earlier design...puppies done in sepia tones on a warm white porcelain ornament

Elvis Ornament

This was a special commission, pushing the boundries of my comfort level....people are difficult enough to paint, but when its someone famous...pressure!
I was very happy with the outcome though; the ornament itself was done in a mixture of warm, soft whites/greys and blues. I didnt get a good pic of it, but on the back I hand scripted "I'll have a Blue Christmas..."

Gingerbread House - Wooden Cylinder Ornament

Another Gingerbread House, but using a tall, cylindrical wooden ornament.

Gingerbread House- Oval Wooden Oranament

I started a series of Gingerbread houses last year,

which I will continue to expand upon with this year's ornaments! Great fun!

(this commissioned one was personalized)

Porcelain Ball- Happy Owl

 The next bunch of ornaments are a little different....bright and fun! 
This was a commission for a First Christmas...

Round Porcelain Ornament- Vizsla

Here's another round; this time with a beautiful Vizsla!

Porcelain Ball- Sierra

Another porcelain ornament, this is a husky named Sierra
and, nope, I didn't draw her funny :-)
This girl had an injury when she was a puppy which
permanently damaged her facial nerve and left her
with a perpetual grin and half wink!

Abbey-Porcelain Ornament

And here's sweet, crazy little Abbey!

Trio Complete

And last, but certainly not least, is JERSEY.
I've also included a shot of the three together, a lovely group!

Trio...#2

And next we have DEXTER....

Trio #1

Following with more porcelain pieces...
this was a series of three commissioned dogs.
Here is, MILLER, a Springer Spaniel...

Porcelain Star Tuxedo Cat

Porcelain star ornament, painted then "baked"

One of my first, a lovely tuxedo boy from 2011!
