Your Art Inspired by The Serious Side

   Enjoy the art inspired by Sara's photograph, The Serious Side
(The Inspiration Image is at the bottom of this post.)

Deidre Townsend: Iffy
Oil on Canvas
For my first oil painting, I decided to paint a small painting for my step-sister, Judy, to thank her for my wonderful visit to her home. Sara's inspiration image made me think of Judy's dog, Iffy.  He seriously does not like to have his photo taken.


Julie Brandt: Even at Night...
Oil on Canvas, 8"x 10"
I submit my lilies in response to Sara's dramatic photo of her dog.  Her image made an impact on me because of the lighting she used.  I love the darker background, and I have wanted to try a painting on a black canvas. Voilà!


Helen Eaton: Mask Mandate
Oil on Canvas, 8"x 10"
Whether you're the thief or his lookout, you're probably wearing a mask... at least if you're a raccoon!

Sara's furry brown dog on black reminded me that these funny little raccoons have been waiting a long time for their turn to be put on canvas.


Nelvia McGrath: Charlie
Acrylic on Canvas Board, 11"x 14"

While I really enjoy animals, I haven’t been painting many of them.  I really like the way the light fell on Charlie and made me think of this haiku:

Looking out at you 
with unconditional love 
in this one moment

Charlie is our Standard Schnauzer. Sometimes he shows his serious thinker side, and when I look at him I wonder what secrets he keeps. One morning, the light streamed through the kitchen window and cast him into sunshine and shadows, perfectly highlighting his thoughtful mood.
