Jack Nibbles Prada-New Painting

SOLD   My new piece completed 8-27 When I think "DOG" I think of Jack Russell's.  How cute are they?  My sister has two labs and  some pretty hilarious  stories of their interior adventures while the family is at work and school. . I guess that's the inspiration here.  This painting is 9x12 painted on a hard wood surface with painted sides. The previous Pope (I already forget his name!) wore red Prada shoes so I decided it would be fun to include them.  Thanks for looking! http://catherinenolin.org/artwork/3833722-Jack-Nibbles-Prada.html

Bird Watchers II- New painting

SOLD  Completed on 8-18 I have developed a love and deep appreciation of birds.  My in laws have been avid bird watchers for many years.  Barbara has a special recipe she actually makes of select bird seed to attract the ones they love most.  I recently attended the Audubon exhibit at the Currier Museum in N.H. which featured not only birds but also lots of other wild life.  This is what my son's would call a classic Catherine Nolin painting.  This piece is 14x18 created on a cradled birchwood panel with painted sides.  Thanks for looking. to view this painting on my website click the link below.

Fox and Sparrows - New painting

It's amazing how things work out sometimes in my little world.  I had a customer who wanted a commission piece for her mother as a birthday gift around the same time that I decided that I would not take on anymore new commissions.  I basically decided that I want to spend the rest of the year doing my own thing.  I felt bad turning away many requests.  As I was putting the finishing touches on this piece I received an email from that same customer who said this painting was perfect for her mother since she loved many of the items I put together so in a way it was custom.  She did ask me to add two sparrows which I think were a nice touch to represent her two sons. I'm so glad it worked out for her. 
Although I am not taking on commissions with lots of custom details I am open to creating paintings based on some simple info.  using my artistic license so that it is more imaginative.  I would require general information such as colors, flowers, places, objects, animals, over all themes without specifics.  If you are interested in contact me for pricing.
