The holidays are near, and that means lots of orders for pet portraits. They are fun and keep me motivated.

This recent portrait is one of my favorites, I don’t know putting clothes on a dog is so amusing.

It is about my feelings after my best friend of 13 years passed away. Sam was my Superman. He was by my side through so much; a difficult break-up, a move across country, new beginnings, he even had a part in my wedding. When I lost him I was devastated.

On my way to work one morning, I heard the Five for Fighting song, It’s not easy, and I knew it could not have been easy for him to be my Superman.

I still miss him.

As part of The Preapproved Project I created a handful of artist trading cards.  This one is one of my favorites.

As I get this thing going, I will be posting older works.
This one was completed about a year ago (August 2010).  Also, it was one of the first paintings I documented from beginning to end.

If you want to see some of my current work, you can visit my horribly out of date etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/IsThisArt.
