Years ago, I used to paint a LOT of still life. I still enjoy painting it whenever I have a chance. I'm one of those artists who strongly believe in painting anything I want and not placing any limits on myself, of boxing myself into any subject matter. It's important for me to have the freedom to express myself, whether that be painting animals and wildlife, landscapes, or still life. My artist's soul needs to be honoured. This one has been painted for that purpose, as well as fur a Patreon tutorial. It's almost 2.5 hours long and in real time from start to finish. I have a quick version up on YT if you're so inclined. (Link in bio). I hope you enjoy this! ☺️🍋☕️. . . #stilllife #stilllifeart #stilllifeartist #lemons #teacup #fineart #fineartist #fineartists #pastel #uart #pastelpencils #pastelpencil #pastelart #realism #realismdrawing #realisticdrawing #realisticart #artistsoninstagram #sudbury #sudburyontario #canadianart #canadianartist #womeninart #girlswhopaint (at Sudbury, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvVk_WlF-A9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n9moh4tkj0vn

See my process for painting China in oils!

[carolerodrigueart]

China, 8 x 10 oil on canvas. She was painted as a gift from my client to her mother. The flower collar had to be improvised so I constructed it with flowers and sketched it into my composition. 🌸🌺🌹🌷💐I love how much character it adds to her! I have a speed painting video up on YT ▶️ https://youtu.be/B_jcyFNssfg 🌸💐🌸 . . #petportrait #petpaintings #art #artistsofinstagram #dogs #dogsofinstagram #cutedogs #doglovers #dogart #dogpaintings #petart #petportraits #petportraitartists #petartist #animalartists #instapets #dogswithflowers #flowercrowns #realism #realismpainting #oilpainting #oilpainters #chihuahua #chihuahuasofinstagram #chihuahuamix #sudbury #sudburyontario #art_4world (at Sudbury, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buy6wbTFjJK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=za1ccu2jtwl9

Work in progress on a commission in oil. I should be done this week. This is a tricky one as I had to construct a little flower collar and paint it on, trying to visualize how it should sit on her. I still need to detail as it's just blocked in at this point. I have a few more commissions that I need to complete over the next few months, and then I'll be focusing on my Patreon channel as well as YouTube videos. The call is strong and I need to listen to my inner artist soul and start creating more of a variety of paintings, as well as help people with tutorials. I've worked as s literacy instructor with adults as well as employment coach/counsellor for many years, so creating tutorials is a natural progression for me:combining my love of art with the inner need to help people. Wish me luck! 😁👩‍🎨 . . #petpaintings #art #petportrait #artistsofinstagram #dogs #dogsofinstagram #cutedogs #doglovers #dogart #dogpaintings #petart #ilovedogs #petportraits #petportraitartists #petartist #animalartists #instapets #Sudbury #Canadianartists #sudburyontario #oilpainting #oilpaintings #animalart #dogswithflowers #artist #artsy (at Sudbury, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BurUr8klxfS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w15exboyv235

The paint was still quite wet when I took this shot but I think I'm pretty much done. I'll look at this in daylight to see if I want to adjust anything. 14 x 18 oil on linen. 👩‍🎨. . . #birdartist #bird_watchers_daily #bird_lovers #birdart #nature #contemporaryrealism #peacockart #birdstagram #instapainting #peacock #peacocks #originalartwork #birdfreaks #artoni stagram #wacfeature #peacocklove #peacockart #birdpainting #oilpainting #oilpaintingoncanvas #originalart #realism #fineart #fineartist #hypnotizing_art #art_4world #artshare #bluebirds #sudbury (at Sudbury, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsrsi5xFmkN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sf0dtfo4zm6c

Almost done working on this piece I've been doing in between commissions. I'm wondering now, should there be a flower hanging from his mouth?

Ozzy, 11 x 14 oil on birch cradled panel. I really love how this guy's portrait turned out. My clients were very happy also, and that makes me happy. Painting on the birch was a challenge I might add. Despite careful prep as well as sanding, it was still a little too rough for my taste. I'll give it a few more tries though. ☺️ 🐶🐾💗🐾 . . . #oilpainting #painting #oilpainter #oilpainter #realism #realismart #petpaintings #art #artistsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #dogart #dogpaintings #petart #petportraits #petportraitartists #petartist #animalartists #Sudbury #Canadianartists #animalartistry #artshare #petportrait #artist_features #artfeaturehelp #custompetportrait #animal_art_feature #hypnotizing_arts #artfido #art_4world (at Sudbury, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsZ1KDKFiO0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pnlu6fkh95v3

This is Harley, an 11 x 14 oil painting completed as a Christmas commission. I loved painting his gorgeous and colourful fur, and, I must add, I find Harley somewhat has John Kerry's eyes. 👀😉🐾💗🐾👩‍🎨. . . #oilpainting #petpaintings #artistsofinstagram #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogart #dogpaintings #petart #oilpainters #oilpaintingoncanvas #petportraits #petportraitartists #petartist #animalartists #instapets #Sudbury #Canadianartists #animalartistry #oilpaintings #artshare #petportrait #animal_art_feature #art_4world #dogeyes #lookalikes #mansbestfriend #toronto #custompetportrait (at Sudbury, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTgc2EFj7L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lx0q73na98o3

Archer, pastel portrait of English Springer Spaniel. I painted this beautiful boy for a donation to a local rescue, Pet Save in #Sudbury. They do amazing work locally as well as in remote areas in the north, and even Mexico. I recorded the process which can be seen here 👉🏻 https://youtu.be/171AErwpRQM if you can manage to copy n' paste. I also give some thoughts on what it takes to be a full-time pet portrait artist. 👩‍🎨🐾💗🐾. . . #springerspaniel #springerspanielsofinstagram #englishspringerspaniel #petpaintings #art #artistsofinstagram #dogs #dogsofinstagram #doglovers #dogart #dogpaintings #petart #petportraits #petportraitartists #petartist #animalartists #Sudbury #Canadianartists #animalartistry #pasteldrawings #artshare #petportrait #pastelportrait #pastels #pastelpainting #animal_art_feature #hypnotizing_arts #artfido #art_4world (at Sudbury, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsO-nk7lJ-n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=s5yr5thsls4g
