Dog Days of Summer - "LuLu" - Poodle portrait by Deb Kirkeeide

LuLu | 6x6 Oil | ©2016 Deb Kirkeeide

LuLu came from a small town, but made a name for herself when she won Best of Show in the Westminster Kennel Club. Known for her proud aloofness and graceful walk she went on to be quite a success on the Paris runways. 

If you would like to commission a special Love Portrait of your own LuLu or any other pet, I have more information on my website.

In the meantime, if you would like to "adopt" this little painting, you can purchase here. $185

Field of Gold - Wildlife Elk painting by Deb Kirkeeide

Field of Gold

15 x 21 Oil

Expanding my horizons and painting more than mostly birds. I have so many interests, it's hard to decide where to put my focus!

I love Elk. And I would love to paint more. They are so majestic and beautiful. I wish they thrived here in Minnesota. (Or that I could spend some time out west observing them!)

This was an exercise in experimentation with textures and tools and even as I look at this I have another thought to add to it. So, I'm not sure if it is truly finished. I will sit with this for now but don't be surprised if it shows up slightly different.

Eva's Best Buddy - A Painting of a Pug

Eva's Best Buddy

10 x 9 Oil

This is Maverick, my granddaughter's best buddy. Or, her Puppy Brother. For a grumpy old man he is very tolerant of her active toddler ways, but I'm sure he would prefer it if she liked to cuddle up on the couch and sleep instead of going non stop through out the day. She loves him very much.

I decided to start building Eva's art collection each birthday. So this is the second in the birthday series! I also wanted to paint him in a style that fits a 2 yr old's room. I think he turned out to be pretty fun. Her reaction? "Dog!"

Is it spring yet? Almost. But for many the question may be "is it done snowing yet?"

It will be nice to hear the nature's many songs again.

I am getting ready for a show coming up March 14 - March 22 at Squire House Gardens in Afton, MN where this painting will be available along with many others. This show is always one I look forward to. If you are in the area, please join us for the reception March 14 -  5 pm -9 pm.

A purple finch. Though to me, their coloring leans more to red. But whatever their color I love when they show up at the feeder.
