First Mary Freebed paintings.

This is  a watercolor pencil painting on canvas.  The original photo from which the painting came from was one taken by Micki Special a friend of mine from Facebook.  She is a wonderful photographer and was gracious enough to let me paint this cute little guy.  This is one of three paintings that will be entered this year in the Mary Freebed show here in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Sadee- Beloved Friend

This is a watercolor pencil painting of Sadee.  She belonged to a friend of mine and recently passed on to another life.  She was a loyal dog who Mike Welsh rescued when Sadee was only days old.  The two were inseparable.  Mike is a good man and I painted this picture for him to have his dog always there for him.

For Cameron

This is a picture of Connor an Cameron two beautiful young people whom I came across through there grandmother who goes to the YMCA with me.  Tragically Connor was killed by another young man while playing on the playground by his home.  Cameron was with him and watched his brother die.  I gave this painting to him so he would always know that his brother was with him.   This is a 16" by 20" watercolor pencil painting on canvas.
This is a watercolor pencil Painting of Jo Swaney and her dog Woody.  She is a wonderful fund raiser for the Humane Society in Detroit.  Woody has not been feeling very well so I decided to paint this picture of the two for her.
