Sunday, September 13th, 2009There is nothing quite like the power and majesty of a Thoroughbred Race Horse, and this digital painting is the first in a series of Racing Paintings that I have planned (for both Standardbreds and Thoroughbred race horses). Thanks to photographer Cathy Sheeter for the wonderful reference photo.

Sunday, September 13th, 2009Highland Cow | Farm Animal Art
Saturday, September 12th, 2009I have always loved Highland Cattle and finally have had a chance to paint one. This was the first painting that I completed in Corel Painter using my wacom graphics tablet and digital pen. I am amazed at how similar to real painting it is in regards to how the paintbrushes lay down and blend the paint!

Cavalier KC Spaniel | Pet Portrait Painting
Thursday, September 10th, 2009This is one of the first digital oil paintings that I did, sketching and painting the dog using using Photoshop CS4 oil brushes and blending with the smudge tool. Initially I was happy with it, then after I did a few more digital paintings I relegated this one to the back burner as it lost its appeal. I recently dragged it out from my work in progress folders and finished it off – all it needed was a closer crop and a touch more contrast:)
