As I often do, I tore off the page and stashed it in a wicker basket of other such ideas for paintings. I had just started to paint with oils again, after a bad experience with fumes from turpentine. I decided to use this picture to start my journey with oils and I’m now hooked! I never realized just how many shades of white were needed to give these wonderful flowers the depth they deserved. Oil painting. 24X24. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359573261915-P7VBKGD4ZT5C5DY92WOR/Landscape+April2011+%282%29.jpg Landscapes and Flowers - Landscape Over the years, I have taken many landscape classes at Silvermine Art Guild with David Dunlop, and more recently, with William McCarthy. This was my second painting while working with Will. He is such a wonderful teacher and an inspiration to his students. He literally paints from memory and a few thumbnail sketches. The technique involves using Liquin and only large brushes from the hardware store! This oil painting can be seen in the home of Helen and Muscie Garnett in Richmond, VA. Say "hi" to Lola for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1704660811502-EJESG2D8Y9LNFK8N9M0I/DSC01394.jpg Landscapes and Flowers - Cornwall Country My friends the Rawls (yes, the parents of Grits) have a wonderful old home in Cornwall, CT. This barn on their property house a small dairy along with Waite’s tractor! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359573346870-SLUNFUFSO8A68CU0FMCC/Roads+Less+Traveled.jpg Landscapes and Flowers - Roads Less Traveled Another scene from Tod's Point.

The technique plays well to my use of color and contrast. I want to go there, but the place came from my imagination. I'll pack my bags now! Painted in oil. 18X24. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359574396890-BLXHH392AYADMBLHEM7S/Paintings+003+%282%29.jpg Landscapes and Flowers - The Ocean House If you have ever been to Watch Hill, RI, you have seen the Ocean House hotel. The property is up on a hill overlooking the ocean and dunes. Recently the land was converted into condos, a smaller hotel and retail, so I'm happy to have this painting to remember "the way things were." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359574439719-10I7PJNG8QZ7O6KUOVRS/Paintings+007+%282%29.jpg Landscapes and Flowers - Waveny This small landscape was painted at Waveny in New Canaan, CT. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359574477205-ZXVL9KXZN1GHX9J7BGEF/Paintings+012+%282%29.jpg Landscapes and Flowers - Avondale, RI Another scene from my Watch Hill days. This is of Avondale, an area outside of Westerly, CT and Watch Hill, RI. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360463402804-X7673U5MKRE935M8JBZE/Seascape.jpg Landscapes and Flowers - Seascape This wonderful seascape was actually inspired by a photo of Tasmania, taken by Rick and Kat. They were surfing in Tasmania en route to their new home in Brisbane. Oil on board. 18X24. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360956717865-465GTQW1O97SKNIYO6WA/img087+%282%29.jpg Landscapes and Flowers - Iris This is an oldie but goodie. When I first started painting flowers I did several large impressions. The background consists of colored tissue paper with a soft white glaze. http://gallerystuart.com/pet-portraits daily 0.75 2024-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1704662187926-QQ18O49SKDSKR73RGHSN/Barkingham%2B2.jpg Pet Portraits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1704662187926-QQ18O49SKDSKR73RGHSN/Barkingham%2B2.jpg Pet Portraits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1704662194985-FR6SP17OGWO9XYIUBI5O/Barkingham+2.jpg Pet Portraits - Barkingham A stately specimen of canine elegance.

So, his owner Lloyd built a cart to house Guinness on his daily walks through Rowayton. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1704662331498-9AB21I2R88O6LJRCEVUX/Life+Is+Good_edited.jpg Pet Portraits - Life is Good This handsome boy Walker was celebrating his first birthday! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575096557-5VXEFKKUH4OXU86M31YI/Hot+Dogs+%282%29.jpg Pet Portraits - Hot Dogs This is one of my favorite paintings. It is large--48X60--and hangs in our dining room. Featured are my three girls, Biscuit, Chessie and Maggie. They are relaxing in the pool, surrounded by fire hydrants and pool toys. See My Bad Girls for more detail on this trio. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575262757-I807RV758P7DWRQ1DSOL/My+Sunshine+%282%29.jpg Pet Portraits - My Sunshine Chessie is painted here surrounded by sunflowers. She was my sunshine. In her mouth is one of her favorite toys--a duck, which produced a repeating duck noise when squeezed. Her favorite time to squeeze the toy was during one of my work conference calls. She was definitely CEO material. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359574770522-PQHNFYZVBTZ1VL02X0YA/Bailey+Girl+%282%29.jpg Pet Portraits - Bailey Ferrell Ah, don't get me started on Bailey. She is a wonderful small beagle with a very large attitude. She belongs to my daughter Betsy, but during Betsy's college and Prague years, Bailey spent a lot of time with Grandma. When she lived with me, she especially liked the top of the dining room table, where she could easily multi-task by watching chipmunks and eating leftovers simultaneously. She also loved to be chased around the house and yard just when I had a train to catch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360463570471-9UMG5CT61K14N2OBAYA6/Breakfast+at+Brendan%27s.jpg Pet Portraits - Breakfast at Brendan's 101 Meet Maya and Zoe, frequent diners at Brendan's. Maya lives with her owner in Rowayton and runs down for breakfast while her owner bikes. She sits patiently waiting for a nibble or two. Maya is an Australian Shepherd with one blue and one brown eye. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359574806848-JCQYO397GBDOC4HJT53K/Kiwi.jpg Pet Portraits - Kiwi Kiwi belonged to friends in Gibson Island, MD before he went to heaven about a year or so ago. This painting was done as a wedding present for Terry and Gail last summer. Wyatt is their new furry family member, but no one can ever replace the memory of sweet Kiwi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575018959-M45YBQ0B19LJ7RBGUV82/My+Girls.jpg Pet Portraits - My Bad Girls Where do I start? At one point we had three female dogs, Maggie a rescue Springer Spaniel, Biscuit a very large and not especially smart Springer Spaniel, and one of Biscuit's daughters--Chessie. Chessie's father was Gus, a yellow lab, and Biscuit, after a hot date with Gus, produced 10 all-black puppies. Go figure. This painting depicts the three dogs with all the objects they consumed over the years--Mont Blanc pens, eye glasses, remote controls, shoes, toys, etc. The note reads: Dear Stuart-- Sorry we ate your stuff. If you fed us more better real food, we'd behave. Maybe. Thoughtfully, your girls https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360463583377-7E5N85F7ZRGAR549PIMM/Crockett.jpg Pet Portraits - What's a Girl to Do? Miss Crockett is our pudle that we adopted from Adopt-A-Lab. Yes, you read that right. There is some confusion about her pedigree, but the rescuers thoughtfully narrowed it down when they noted that she is probably "some mix of dog and poodle." Crockett joined us the end of October 2012 and has been my constant companion ever since. She is covered with ribbons and a small tag reading" All dressed up; nowhere to go," hence the title, What's a Girl to Do? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575140656-DEBGQA3UE9Q7WNHA1RVY/Examples+of+Pet+Portraits+-+Copy+%282%29.jpg Pet Portraits - Tempest The couple who commissioned this portrait wanted their black lab pictured on their sail boat, Tempest. The background is Darien, CT. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575190996-XM55JNG2Z4SUROC9LCRR/Chessie++Cropped+%282%29.jpg Pet Portraits - Chessie Girl My Chessie Girl left us in 2010 at age 14. I still miss her today. She, like her Mom, had a fetish for shoes--usually the left one, and would leave the other hidden under a bed, in the yard or in the closet. It took me almost a year to be able to memorialize her, but this portrait makes me feel a little better that it really was time for her to "go home" as they say in the South. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575285002-OUBIWWBWNZUQ5DAI63P4/Rotties.jpg Pet Portraits - Rotties on the Back Nine This painting was commissioned by a couple from backcountry Greenwich. They wanted their two Rottweilers posed sitting on a golf cart, with apple trees and cow statues in the background. You can't make this stuff up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575314269-8VNVX68W059P5HPGHBQS/Paintings+003.jpg Pet Portraits - Lilly and Chuckles Two wonderful Jack Russell Terriers from Richmond, VA. They are actually cousins, belonging to John and Margaret Ferrell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575403066-RMYM0IZ3WLBHGJWE3JH5/Abbott.jpg Pet Portraits - Abbott Abbot was a wonderful yellow lab belonging to my friends Nell and John Otto in Greenwich. Abbot is pictured here decked out in Fourth of July bunting. Under her paw is the wedding invitation for the Otto's daughter, Blair, since I did this as a wedding present for Blair and her new husband, Craig. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575422676-SYU6LT0UA2QKDM8BMMGF/grits+and+friend.jpg Pet Portraits - Grits and Friend Grits Rawls was a Westy of significant note, belonging to Ma Lou and Waite Rawls. Grits spent most of the time on Park Avenue in NYC and on weekends in Cornwall, CT. Quite the cosmopolitan dog, with deep Southern roots. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360463568022-NWAA6CIIHDR39QODHVKU/100_1418+%282%29.jpg Pet Portraits - Miss Daisy Miss Daisy Toplyn is a Katrina rescue who lives and works in Harrison, NY with her parents Sherry and Joe and her brothers Andrew and Jeffery. She has an extensive sweater collection, and especially likes barking at squirrels, UPS drivers, and...everything really. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360463594759-3OTXYCQ213RDD1R7YCDU/Miss+Molly.jpg Pet Portraits - Miss Molly Miss Molly is the self-appointed queen of Crockett Street. She can be seen rapidly pacing back and forth in front of a short fence. If you stop to say "hi" she will immediately roll onto her back for a tummy rub. She always has something to say about the goings-on in the neighborhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360958315342-XP8N4H7RM8IB8L1HRYNN/Alex+Desole.jpg Pet Portraits - Alex De Sole Alex belonged to the then CEO of Gucci. Hence the shoes and pocket book. The family loved to ski and play sports. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360958350957-24NKCMC1VNZNXSDX1GOL/Dog+Days+Commission.jpg Pet Portraits - Dog Days Store This was a commission, by a store called Dog Days, to hang behind their checkout counter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360598151316-OX505G8LXDTF3OSU9NR0/Sebastian.jpg Pet Portraits - Sebastian Yes, I do paint cats. This was done for my niece, Rebecca from Baltimore for her birthday. Sebastian is surrounded by items of meaning to Rebecca. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360958361280-XICIYFHBOHM22VFKLNKD/Milkshake+Dale.jpg Pet Portraits - Milkshake Dale Can you imagine a dog named Milkshake? Leave to my friend Kit Dale in Baltimore! Milkshake, a Bichon, is pictured making both a milkshake and a mess.

I believe that flowers are a gift from God representing the beauty and anomalies of nature. When I look at a landscape or a flower, I see the relationship and harmony between color and shape. That is what compostion is all about. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360463703297-NVJSLW7WYXJHYCTFPPJN/Peonies.jpg Home - Landscapes and Flowers This is an example of my flower paintings, which can be found under the tab "Landscapes and Flowers."

It incorporates humor, whimsy and paradox to portray my own self portrait through my shoes. When I commuted to Wall Street for 15 years, I would amuse myself by looking first at a passenger's shoes on the subway. I would then try to paint a picture of this person in my mind before looking at the face. I selected this to showcase my Life Portraits. These are paintings where I depict someone through objects such as shoes, ties, eye glasses, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360465282656-EZXXDJS01O03RCDK5H18/Who+Dunnit.jpg Home - Animals If you click on the tab titled "Animals," you will see several examples of my animal paintings. As with most of my work, these include some element of humor or paradox. These cows were painted from a photograph I took while visiting friends in Belgium. The ear tags are actually the birthdates of friends. I carefully assigned the dates based on personalities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360464931853-OSMTY1QL1DX8I9V4XOTD/Crockett.jpg Home - Pet Portraits My Pet Portraits are really a hallmark of my work. Painting a pet in human terms, I prefer to meet and get to know my subjects. Otherwise, it is difficult to translate attitude and personality into a painted form. This happens to be a portrait of my dog, Crockett. She is a rescue from Adopt-A-Lab in Indiana. As you can see, she's not a lab at all. She's a Skodap or "some kind of dog and poodle." I painted her with lots of colorful ribbons and a tag saying: "All Dressed Up; Nowhere to Go." What's a girl to do? Amuse yourself by touring my Pet Portraits. Perhaps your pet would like one? https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/51170729e4b085e20f7ea174/63ff85746944430ba7860548/1677690228950/ Home http://gallerystuart.com/my-gallery daily 0.75 2024-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1704661523422-N6U4Q8RHCT81XB7505OQ/Painted+Pig+Commission_edited.jpg Life Portraits - Painted Pig Commission I love commissions when I am given leeway to use my creativity.

When I commuted to Wall Street, I used to play a game on the subway, generally not a fun place to be. I would start by looking at the shoes of the other passengers and I would create an image of what they did for a living and what they looked like from the feet up. Only after I had that mental image did I allow myself to look at the whole person. So, here you have a collection of my shoes, showing the many faces of Stuart! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360956924802-K8FVM0LJHCN1VCSOQRXO/Liza+Corbin.jpg Life Portraits - This is your life: Liza This was painted for my goddaughter in Baltimore to display her collection of tea cups, as well as memorabilia from her school, camp and life as a teenager. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359572781638-10E1MXID1NO6DGNBGVNH/Eye+Candy.jpg Life Portraits - Eye Candy When you wear readers, it is not uncommon to have a collection--a pair by every phone, or in every room. This is my collection, except for one outrageous addition. Wishful thinking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359572827041-9XSCUKBFTBU7Q5DD04NU/Wedding+Day.jpg Life Portraits - Junk Yard Dog Marries Party Poodle I painted this whimsical painting to honor my marriage to Chip in July 2010. He refers to himself as a junk yard dog--a serial entrepreneur who has had a range of businesses from geraniums to alcohol, with greenhouses, tomato, farming grapes and hospital products thrown in for extra credit. On the other hand, Chip refers to me as the "party poodle"-- a sophisticated dog with careers at American Express, Merrill Lynch and Accenture. And now, I am an artist. That must make me an Eccentric Party Poodle! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359572880200-TGL0AFIHOBJ4QYI5R21M/The+Birthday+Party2.jpg Life Portraits - The Birthday Party I painted this in honor of my 50th birthday. Along with my dogs Smithfield and Maggie (Magnolia), I have my friend Wheatie's dog, Chamois, and the neighbor's Jack Russell, Piper. Yes, there is also a Bulldog because no party is complete without one, along with presents and a game of "Pin the Tail on the Postman." This painting led to my career as a pet portrait artist, and a display of my work at a store on Greenwich Avenue called Dog Days. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359572984394-37YNDS9F3LL98GO5CE4O/Wyn+25th+Birthday.jpg Life Portraits - Happy Birthday, Wyn For my son's 25th birthday, I painted this Life Portrait with objects representing special times. As a teen, he worked at Baskin Robbins and later interned at FACTSET. The flowers are from the opening of his tasting room and distillery, Mile High Spirits in Denver, CO. His products are on the shelf in the back. Yeah, Wyn! Oh yes, his dog Mali is the one wearing the sunglasses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360957356207-L7T5IKYTLSWEN6C53LDO/img089+%282%29.jpg Life Portraits - Happy Birthday, Wheatie There was so much to include in this painting--it could have been a grand mural. It is full of memorabilia, including Wilson Pickett's hit, Midnight Hour. Think there's some history here? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360957102095-9XX8M41DNR6VB6SUBAF6/Happy+Birthday+Doug.jpg Life Portraits - Happy Birthday, Doug A commission for a significant birthday. The view is from Doug's office, with his desk, Golden Retriever, Chili, calendar of events and children playing outside. http://gallerystuart.com/animals daily 0.75 2023-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575754126-QT1S0ZJLF9LFDH0EOF22/Who+Dunnit.jpg Animals - Moo-dunit? This oil painting was inspired by cows from Brussels. I was visiting good friends who live outside of Brussels and we were walking past a farm when I saw these beauties. The ear tags actually display the birthdays of good friends and, of course, 32651 happens to be mine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575754126-QT1S0ZJLF9LFDH0EOF22/Who+Dunnit.jpg Animals - Moo-dunit?

If this were fabric, it would be chintz, naturally. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575673997-CJDDKIBL6FHBXNYZMGOS/Dolly+and+friends.jpg Animals - Dolly and Friends I painted this after a long hiatus. It was cold and snowy and I had just completed a week-long class at The Finishing School (can you believe that is actually the name?) on Long Island. I had been studying the art of painted surfaces such as faux wood so I'm practicing my new-found knot-drawing skills here. It was also the same time that Dolly, the first cloned sheep was in the news. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575713731-L95OHXVT2RVGW1QJJN3L/Mala+Mala+Morning.jpg Animals - Mala Mala Morning You can imagine that visiting Africa was like being a kid in a candy shop for me. I photographed this lion cub in Mala Mala and painted her later as a memento of my wonderful trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1359575780740-1A7MLYJO6Z4J12Q79NVA/Friends+in+Formals+%282%29.jpg Animals - Friends In Formals This was a commission for the family room of friends and family in Baltimore, MD. The lion may sleep tonight, but that's not stopping all the other creatures from stepping out in their finery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360957848362-XV9GBZTUYX8J7CLAVD7P/The+Epicurians.jpg Animals - The Epicureans A roadside picnic with animals munching on their favorites. Must have stopped at McDonalds en route back to the farm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360957929066-EYCLEZ0WTZO9OKBJQBIR/Will+You+be+Mine.jpg Animals - Will You Be Mine? An unusual gathering of friends waiting to wish you Happy Valentine's Day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/1360957890626-2YR494BTCCE8JR8QWXSL/Watsons.jpg Animals - Watson's This mural was done for Watson's, a local caterer's take-out deli. Sunday in the park with these piggies sure looks like fun to me. http://gallerystuart.com/about daily 0.75 2024-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51096923e4b048227a7bee47/c57b8b40-7080-412f-ba5c-c04e7ec8befd/Dog+Ma_edited.jpg About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://gallerystuart.com/stuartgallerystuartcom daily 0.75 2013-02-19
