Red Jeep Oil Painting Car Art Antique Sport Utility Vehicle

Oil on canvas, 9" x 7".

A friend's husband acquired an older Jeep to work on for fun and I wanted to paint it when I spied it in her driveway.  It's strange for me to have a compulsion to paint a vehicle!

"River Sunrise" 12x24 oil on canvas

This Painting is from an image I have permanently burned in my head. It is of a early morning

sunrise on the Mississippi River in Davenport, Iowa..

We lived just up the hill from the Mighty Miss my entire childhood.

  We would water ski as kids

through the little opening in the middle of the tree line, which was dumb. The opening was actually part of

a wing dam, which are solid rock with cement and trees. This particular area behind

the tree line was actually an old lock and dam.

I donated this painting for a huge silent auction/Gala in NW Arkansas every August that

supports the Children's Hospital in Little Rock.

I was pleased this sold at the silent auction with 100% of the price going to the Children's Hospital. The Gala is called the Color of Hope. It was fortunate that about 10 of my artist friends I asked all donated their work as well.  All different price

points,mediums, sizes and themes, the art was a big success. There were 350 items in all that were auctioned off for

$920K going to the kids. Next yr, hopefully we can top that

.  Thanks for viewing my "River Sunrise."

Sea Shell Pair Debra Sisson Oil Painting Still Life Mollusk Nautical Seaside Beach Ocean Sand

Watercolor on Arches watercolor paper, 5.5" x 7.5".

Merry Christmas!  Seashells, sand and the ocean are welcome images for many people in the winter season.  I painted some shells of my own and imagined the part about the sand, sea and sun.  I could get lost in admiring their form and details.  I hope that the watercolors captured their sense of wonder!

Mini Schnauzer Debra Sisson Oil Painting Pet Portrait Animal Art Dog

Watercolor on Arches watercolor paper, 11" x 9".

Schnauzer are amazing dogs to paint, especially in watercolor I believe.  In this medium I can showcase their characteristic "haircuts".   This girl's eye shines from beneath her bushy eyebrow and her profile is so attractive.  I'm very happy that I could finish this particular commissioned portrait before Christmas.

Serious Calico Debra Sisson Oil Painting Pet Portrait Animal Art Cat Feline

Watercolor on Arches watercolor paper, 8" x 10".

I used the same beautiful Calico cat, Sarah, as a model again.  This time I painted her in watercolors and not oils.  I especially like the transparent color washes of the background which frame the cat's figure and helps to set a mood.  Her neatly folded paws were a treat also.  I think I will be doing more watercolors for a while along with my oils.  Love them both! (sometimes).

Christmas Puppy Debra Sisson Oil Painting Pet Portrait Animal Art Golden Retriever Puppy

Oil on hardboard, 6" x 8".

Puppies are sometimes the cutest when they're a little tired and starry-eyed I think.  This young Golden Retriever puppy looks tuckered out but happy.  Maybe she's trying to stay awake and not miss any fun.  I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season!

Surprised Teddy Love Bear Debra Sisson Oil Painting Luv Bear Still Life Art Christmas Gift Holiday Childrens Toy

Oil on canvas, 9" x 7".

This little Luv Bear was a Christmas gift from a few years ago and I was inspired to paint him in one of the many different personalities that I see in him.  Here he has his surprised or startled expression that I find very endearing.  He's kind of a cool guy actually.  The fact that he is extremely squeezable doesn't hurt either!  Along with capturing his expression, I was excited about painting his furry body and red sweater falling into shadow.

Irish Landscape 6" x 12" oil on canvas

Irish Landscape

This landscape painting is from a picture my cousin Tim took while recently in Ireland.

He shared it on facebook. I embelished it with some color along the front fence line, adding

some pinks and yellow oranges in for some brightness.

The rest is identical to the scene.

This painting I gave away at our annual Christmas dinner outing for Plein Aire

Painters of the Ozarks, PAPO on Dec.6.at Mermaids in Fayetteville.

All the artists in attendance, brought a finished pc of art, we drew names and

gave our art to the person we drew. It is always the highlight of the event!

Willis Miller, a wonderful artist in the group received this painting.

I was fortunate to receive a lovely landscape painting

from Charles Harrington.

I had several Giclee's of this painting made to give as Christmas Gifts this yr.

They will be late on arrival as I need to go pick them up at the gallery who

printed my Glicee, and it is 4 days after Christmas...oooops!

 

I hope you enjoyed seeing an Irish landscape!

Christmas Burro Debra Sisson Oil Painting Pet Art Portrait Donkey Farm Animal

Oil on canvas, 10" x 8".

I've painted this little burro before but this time I named her Christmas Burro.  I love the donkey's serene pose and the highlights on her scruffy hair and untamed mane.  The dorsal stripe and cross add graceful design elements I think too.

Westie Takes a Break Debra Sisson Oil Painting Pet Dog Art Portrait West Highland Terrier

Oil on canvas panel, 8" x 6".

Christmas Sale! This cute Westie is taking a short break but will be ready for more play and action soon. She just needs to catch her breath! She probably does a lot of sliding on the wood floors also when chasing a favorite toy.  The painting would make a nice gift for someone who is owned by a Westie.  If you'd like to commission a painting please contact me.

Christmas Wreath Welcome Debra Sisson Oil Painting Still Life Art Red Door Holiday Decorations

Oil on stretched canvas, 10" x 8".
The 3/4" sides are painted making it ready to hang without frame if desired.

I had some fun with a decorated red door.  The different shades of red/orange for the lighted and shaded areas of the door were luscious to paint and interesting to discover.  Wanting to keep it simple, I felt free to just imply the wreath and ribbon.  The light was most important!  Puts me in the Christmas spirit too.
