I created a new watercolor portrait of a horse named Miss Stollah in full body with blurry suitable background. I usually create blurry backgrounds when painting portraits in watercolors to make the subject stand out a bit. This portrait is in size 27 x 40cm and I had a lot of work with it. REMOVED

Finally I took the time to create an oil painting for my self. It is a big oil painting on stretched canvas of my son Daniel and my Tervueren male Raider. It is hard to create something for your self when there is too much work that needs to be done, with all commissions waiting. Well, I’m proud of this painting and I will take it to a professional framer as soon as I will have the time.

I’m also working on a brand new web site for pet-art.net with lots of new stuff included. I’m doing that slowly between other works. I’m not in a hurry, so why not take it slowly?  I’m also still creating the digital book illustrations about a cat and a rabbit and those needs to be completed soon. It is a good thing I’m creating those digitally, because things need to be edited many times. Well, they need to be perfect, right? When they are printed, there’s no turning back. REMOVED

My latest watercolor horse portrait is painted in size 21 x 29. The owner of the horse contacted me for a big oil painting, but the photo wasn’t big enough so I offered to create a watercolor portrait instead. I had to add a different background though, to make the portrait a bit more colorful and make the portrait of Chess stand out a bit more. The portrait turned out nicely, even though the reference photo was small. REMOVED
