"Cat Pirate Wade" AKA "Wade Can Haz Booty"
Done as a donation to Light the Night. The person with the winning bid wanted their cat, Wade, portrayed as a pirate. She never stays still if they put her in costume, so this was done with pure imagination.
"Sophie on the Ledge of Sanity"
Blue and purple grasses, yellow sky, white trees with red leaves... and a fence that seems to recede into the distance, but it's actually just shrinking (or getting bigger). The ledge is Sophie's refuge from madness. Oils on stretched linen canvas, 14x18 inches, (c) 2009 by Arran Walker.
"David" (not a pet this time)
Wow, I finished my first human portrait commission. This is David, the (now) 12 yr old son of one of my co-workers. David likes bright colors, sports, playing with Pokemon, and practicing the violin. The portrait is based on a photo taken of him when he was 5 yrs old.
"Alison After Birthday Cake"
This is Alison at her 2nd birthday party, back in 2005. She had doggie pals and their humans in attendance. There were presents, party favors, and even a dog-friendly birthday cake (carob-flavored) from Groovy Dog, here in Austin.
This photo of the painting is not high-quality. It definitely looks better in person. I'll try to get a better pic to replace this one soon.

"Thorstein"
Thorstein Veblen (the cat, not the economist) loved catnip, so in this memorial I placed him in a catnip garden. He also had a tendency to look at people with a half-wink, so of course he had to be immortalized with this expression.
