Painting at the garden

I enjoyed the beautiful weather and painting a plein-air piece of art work  during a garden tour in Romeo this year. I had quite a lot finished that day but those of you that know my work would  understand when I say I went home and put some more time into it before calling it completed.

Tappers garden is a beautiful serene place of well groomed and designed landscape with flowers, ponds, trees and sculptures. It is a must see when included in any garden tour and I was privileged to be able to paint there. 

This painting is done in Acrylics on a wrapped canvas and sold to a private collector. Thank you

Pendants are something I frequently paint and wrap in silver or gold. Here is another
 example that went to a private collector. Thank you. They are all one of a kind.

Black & White

 Black and White is beautiful as well as color. For those that like art in black and white, this is a portrait of my work in graphite pencil which is a medium that I also use. Sometime's I will use pen and ink.  It shows a lot of detail and character in the animal or buildings. I not only sketch and paint animals, but buildings such as homes and barns, etc. If you would like something done in this medium, contact me for more information.

This Pendant was fun to do because I did something different by changing the direction of which I normally paint on a pendant. I usually have the length up and done instead of sideways. Sometimes it just works out better depending on the animals. This is a painting of a Bouvier and an Airedale on a 2 & 1/2 by 1 & 1/2" porcelain  piece and wrapped in Sterling Silver. This also goes to a private collector. thank you

Confetti, Theodore and Jimmy

Here are three special dogs that entertain their owner's everyday. What a pleasure to do this painting.  First, I did a sketch from three different photo's to get the right composition that I wanted to achieve. This painting is done on Museum quality Masonite in the size of 12 x 16" and is sold to a private collector. Thank you

Glory

Beautiful Glory's miniature portrait is hand painted on 2 1/2" by 1 1/2" porcelain and wrapped with gold filled wire.   These are one of kind jewelry. Miniature portrait pendants are also wrapped in Sterling Silver. This piece went to a private collector. Thank you

Penning Cattle

This was a fun painting with a lot of action going on. This is a timed event with the horse and rider separating cattle and getting them into a pen before the timer goes off. In order to do this event, you need a well trained horse and an experienced rider. 

There are Limited Edition prints available in canvas and heavy watercolor paper. For inquiries, you can contact me by email at Lhartworks@aol.com.  You can also view this painting and others on my website.
