NALA Marvin Jackson
Oil on Linen 24.5" x 20.5" NFS
Nala is my daughters little Cocker Spaniel who lives in Portland Oregon. Nala is 113 in human years. My wife wants Nalas presence around the house so I decided to paint a portriat of her for my wife to gaze on. My daughter and her boyfriend take Nala everywhere they go. This painting is a portrait in my daughters car.

Springtime Pruning Marvin Jackson
Oil on Linen 25" x 31" $700
I love gardening, cultivating, and watching plants grow. I especially love drawing roses after they’ve blossomed. I was so pleased with the fruits of my labours I began taking pictures of the roses in my rose garden. I then decided to create a still life. I took off my gloves, put my prunners on a table, set it all up, and used photos I’d taken for reference.
