Hi! Autumn is the last moment to paint flowers from nature. This year is exceptionally warm and nice weather and flowers are still blooming in November. So I can put a few flowers into the jar and make a quick sketch. It's a very inspiring exercise. I'm a nature enthusiast and I love animals, plants and everything that has souls. Especially I like horses and dogs. In my house, they live English Setters. and I have an experience with the breeding of dogs. They inspire me to do my creative work. I paint and draw portraits of pets and wild animals as well as floral painting. My favorite medium is color, so I prefer painting techniques; oil painting, watercolor and pastels. For my work, I also need a good drawing, because I'm painting realistic. So I'm doing drawings too. Most of my painting and drawing works are related to animal portraits because I paint pet portrait on request. But I like movement and changes, so from time to time I also do abstract paintings. I am currently working on a new series of "Spiritual Wildlife". You can follow this here: https://www.facebook.com/SpiritualWildlifeArt/ I prefer painting from nature and I return to this exercise whenever possible. This is important for me. So you will also find quick oil sketches in my gallery. My paintings can be bought at my Etsy shop: www.canisartstudio.etsy.com Welcome to my little Art Gallery!
