A collection of my drawings and paintings of some of the dazzlingly beautiful array of animals to be found in this fragile world. My hope is that my artwork here may help you take a second look, and to realize and appreciate the creative hand of the Divine that is evident in each creature.
One of my earliest pet drawings, this one of my wife’s cat Calib sleeping on the couch. Drawn with a felt tip pen.
My interest in this drawing was to approach my rendering of this seahorse with the playfulness and freedom of a child. I let loose of any concern for literalism in my line work and used bright, cheerful colors. I have felt good that many children (as well as adults) have been delighted by this piece.
My interest in this piece was to render this depiction of a rooster in a loose and free colorful style, much like one might find in a children’s book illustration.
Digital drawing I created inspired by our cat resting peacefully on a chair.
A digital painting I did on my iPad of our beloved black cat named Wizard as he took a nap on the floor in front of me.
Mixed media painting of four lovebirds: watercolor, colored pencil, pastel, acrylic paint.
I created this digital piece on my iPad using my finger as a stylus. It was inspired (interestingly enough) by our cat named Mingo who was sitting on a chair in front of me and looked so peaceful. This was my attempt to try and convey the dreamy state of tranquility I was sensing observing my cat.
As you can see, there are two versions, each piece with its own color scheme.
Pen and watercolor portrait drawing of a hound dog.
