    Field Spaniel on Painted Tile

    This was a custom painted tile with a Field Spaniel going over an obedience jump, with a dumbbell in his mouth. The tile is a piece of stained glass cut to fit the top of the wood box.

    Custom Painted Portrait on China Plate

    This custom painted portrait is of Zack, a cat owned and loved by my brother and his family, years ago. I did the painting as a memorial to him, on a china plate that was picked out by my sister-in-law. I keyed the colors of the fabric of the chair arm that Zack is leaning on to the colors in the plate’s pattern.

    In the private collection of Peter and Ann Mathewson.

    Custom Painted Canister with Icelandic Sheepdog

    This custom painted china canister with an Icelandic Sheepdog was done for a client who was giving it to a friend in Iceland. The canister is roughly 9 1/2 inches tall. The top has three painted chickens on it. The design on the canister covers about half the circumference of the piece, showing the portrait of the dog with a background of Icelandic landscape.

    Painted China with Pointer

    This is the first of many plates that I’ve painted with a Pointer theme. It was the beginning of my new venture into painting on china, for dog show trophies or for gifts. The painted china plate below, and the dog shown, belongs to Laura Salvatore.
