Harry Harrington spunky white Westie playing in the wet sand on Long Beach

Harry Harrington
HRH Prince of Long Beach
18x24 inches / oil on panel
SOLD
Introducing Harry Harrington a.k.a. HRH Prince of Long Beach. Harry is a regal pup who always brings a smile to everyone he meets...and he’s met a lot of folks during his travels from New York to Boston to San Francisco to Florida. He’s not only traveled more than most Westies, but has become quite the socialite meeting an endless list of celebrities as well. Here in this larger oil portrait painted nearly lifesize, I tried to capture his personality while Harry enjoyed a particularly fun day at the shore! Don’t you just love his little footprints and claw marks in the cool, wet sand? A cheerful painting to commemorate a special day.

Honeymooners in Crystal Palace - Pair of Zebra Finches in Crystal Chandelier bird pet portrait oil painting

Honeymooners in Crystal Palace
12x12 inches / oil on panel
SOLD
You’ll no doubt recall some other bird portraits I’ve painted, all of which are for one client who delights in their exquisite plumage, beautiful song and sweet, or sometimes in the case of her Parrots, entertaining dispositions -- seems her girls are always up to something! However, these two darling little Zebra Finches have such sweet dispositions which I really tried to capture in this intricate portrait of the happy couple nestling together in an exquisite crystal chandelier. The whimsical title came to me while I painted, as is often the case.
