Digital Horse Painting: Galloping Foal

Cuddly Colt Digital Horse Art Baby Creeper by ReneeFukumoto

I've been foraying into the realm of digital painting and naturally have chosen horses as a favourite subject. This little foal is painted from a photo I took of a Hanoverian mare and her filly galloping in their paddock. I haven't yet painted the mare but plan to do works in various media of both mare and foal together. Such lovely bone structure and muscle definition in a foal...it made it wonderful to capture, a frozen moment in this filly's life. You can find several gift ideas in my Zazzle store with this galloping foal image on it.

Pen & Ink Sawhet Owl Art

Sawhet Owl Pen & Ink Art Print by ReneeFukumoto

This poster of a tiny Sawhet Owl captures a portion of a pen & ink drawing I did several years ago. The whole piece encompasses the tiny owl sitting on a branch, surrounded by trees and branches that softly fade into the background. The style is Pointillism and the subject is created by many untold numbers of dots all created by dipping a stylus into an ink pot then painstakingly dotting it onto the paper. Depth, shading and markings are defined by placing the dots closer together or farther apart and varying the size of the dots by pressure control. I've used this drawing, and a subsequent watercolour I did on several products in my Zazzle store, from prints to tote bags and t-shirts. If you are an owl lover you just may find something you like in my Store!

Who Can Resist A Begging Dachshund?

Cookies Please! Begging Christmas Dachshund Tote by ReneeFukumoto

I've tried my hand at a couple of pooches in a cartoon style. I've enjoyed the fun of it, though for my realism-based style, it is still difficult to let go and just let the cuteness out! My daughter, an artist and author in her own right (her Zazzle store is building slowly: GalaxyStorm - check it out!), is a great inspiration in this endeavor! Anyway, here is a cute little dachshund, based on our furry 'niece' Maggie, begging Santa for some treats! Hope she makes you smile!

Christmas Pug Puppy

Merry Christmas Pug Mug by ReneeFukumoto

Its been fun creating some digital art from my photographs. This design, of a cute cartoon Pug Puppy wearing a red Santa or Elf hat, complete with white fluffy trim, was inspired by a photo I took of a friend's Chinese Pug Puppy. You can find this design and similar Pug designs on a variety of great products at Zazzle, a perfect gift for the Pug Lover in the Christmas mood.
