Different Strokes

Artist Karin Jurick has created a fun blog where she posts a bi-weekly photograph and invites artists from all over to interpret, paint and submit their paintings which she then posts on the blog "Different Strokes from Different Folks."

I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing how different artists will express themselves through various media while using the same reference photo. This week, I decided to join in on all the fun and this is my resulting painting.

I love visiting San Francisco and driving by all the colorful Victorian homes, dreaming what it would be like to actually live in one.

New Addition


A commission, I painted this little one's brother when he was a pup and now she's joined the family. Cute as a button, I hear she has a little mischievous streak in her. Her expression here captures a bit of that, I think.

"Maci"

8"x10" oil on canvas board
