Bandit

 



Bandit was a fun loving German Shepard that loved playing with his blue kong. I love dogs with a story and Bandit gave blood regularly to help other dogs.

This painting goes to a private collector. THANK YOU

Lilly Pads

 





This is a colorful painting that makes you feel a little sunshine, which is great to hang on your wall during a cold winter. This was from a summer garden walk that I did and will be turning it into prints. Prints can be made in all sizes. If interested in more information, you can contact me by email.

 

 

 

 

Freedom

 



This is one of my recent finished paintings that is hanging in a wonderful financial office for a private collector. THANK YOU. This photo does not give  the painting total justice.

 I have to say it took me longer than most paintings because of the thought process I put into it before even touching the canvas with my brushes. The outcome and the meaning to the person receiving it is most important to me. I will let you put your thoughts into it and please feel free to share them.

 

This painting is in Acrylic on a 24"x 36" gallery wrapped canvas. 



  

 

Brenda's Garden

 

During the summer I do a couple of garden walk paintings. This one I call "Brenda's Garden".

Brenda has transformed a place behind their home into a beautiful, peaceful garden with many possibilities to paint. We chose this cherub and a few of her flowers. The back wall was a cream color, so I kept it true to the natural color. I will send out information next year in advance for the garden walks, so anyone interested can go to them.

The Bull

If you look through my posts you can see the bull painting that I did. Now I am very pleased to show you how stunning it looks after framing. I have to say I love it. The photo doesn't do justice to the beautiful work.  The actual ring that  goes into the bulls nose is included in the framing and a question engraved on the brass plate.
This painting is framed by Janet Haering at the Art Concepts in Metamora Mi www.artconceptsdesign.com

The Light

 These two cats where friends together while they were on earth and I am sure they are together again now that have both passed on. Yes I believe there is a place in heaven for animals. This is an acrylic painting on canvas. 9x12" commissioned peace. THANK YOU

Feel free to send your comments as I love to read them.





 

 

 

Pelican

 



I find Pelicans very interesting birds. I love to watch them glide along the top of the ocean water so close they can almost touch and than go up high and dive in for a fish. This pelican was sunning itself and maybe drying it's feathers out when I took a photo.

This is a commissioned piece on an 11 x 14" museum quality gesso board in Acrylic. THANK YOU

Any questions about future prints, please contact me at Lhartworks@aol.com 

 

 

Sophi

 



 

This beautiful dachshund named Sophi loved to play even as she aged. A goal for all of us, to have fun and exercise. 

This is an acrylic painting on a stretched canvas, size 8 x 8". Any in inquiries can come to me at Lhartworks@aol.com

 

Izzy

 

Izzy is a dog with a lot of character and big beautiful eyes. That pose tells you she is listening and ready for something to do. When I paint animals, the eyes talk to me. It's their personality and I love painting your pet that is so important to you. They are a member of the family always there to greet us and give love.   



 This is a commissioned painting. Thank You very much.

Always welcome your comments. 

 

 

Bull

Black Angus Bull

 

This Bull looks like he has  gentle eyes and is a friendly fellow. But my dad always told me, never turn your back on a Bull. It was important for me to add the nose ring in this painting and nose rings are often required for showing or handling to assist in controlling the animal. This is a commissioned painting (Thank You) and I look forward to seeing it framed.
The original nose ring will be added in the frame and I hope to share the photo with you. Inquiries may come to me through my email Lhartworks@aol.com and as always I enjoy hearing your comments.



 

 

Red

 



The owner mom of Red shared the following words with me about her beloved cat.

 

 Red came to me with serious mouth issues. It was clear when he was young he suffered a traumatic head injury which made his jaw line abnormal and gave him a protruding and stoic chin that I adored. I rescued him from a shelter where he had been for over 8 months. He had abscess after abscess. Thankfully my holistic background got us through his traumas and in the process Red enjoyed a free range life and love beyond measure .Carrie Bartnik --Holistic Practitioner

Painting Party





 

Painting Parties in the Country

 

Occasionally  I also teach a group in between my projects. It gives people a chance to experience a few techniques of the art and have fun together. It also gives everyone a perspective of the process of the artists. We just do some of the basics that everyone can do whether you are experienced or a beginner. You end up with a piece you would enjoy putting on display with beautiful colors too, or give as a gift to someone you love.

 

Here is a photo of a group that was fun to work with and did a great job.

Ross Barn

This is a commissioned piece of a wonderful old barn that has a few other memories that I made sure I included such as the sign, air compressor and the chickens.
