Welcome
Denise Rich, THE EARLY YEARS
The artist as a young girl, exploring her artistic future, was temporarily sidetracked with delusions of being a dancer. It did not take long to discover that her talents were in a different artistic arena, and that she was better suited to fine arts both due to ability and the desire to remain sedentary.

I
have had several requests for different breeds of cattle to be
immortalized in oil. The Holsteins are in great supply for photo
reference as there is a local dairy, but I finally found some friendly
Black Angus hanging around just outside of Santa Ysabel. The
funny thing about cows is you had better get some pictures quickly when
they first notice you, because in a few minutes they all start walking
towards the fence and once they do that all you will get are photos of
a line of cows next to a barbed wire fence. I am getting used to
that, as well as the slightly scary sensation of a herd of huge
animals all walking towards me at once, when the only thing separating
us is a thin wire barrier. My husband points out that it does
have barbed wire, but I counter-pointed that they are cows and have thick
cow skin, and even use the barbs to scratch their necks on.
Fortunately I am smarter than they are, and they don't seem to know
that they could take that fence without too much effort.

Friends
of ours had gotten a new pug puppy a little over a year ago. Of
course, when we visited them my daughter fell in love! None of
our five dogs are small enough for her to pick up. so this was a
delicious novelty for her, I am glad the pup already had a home, we
don't need any more dogs!!!
This little black Pug puppy could steal anyone's heart away! And so could that beautiful little girl, I might add completely without bias!! In Private collection of the artist. Monday, March 14

This is the first I have planned in a series of original oil paintings
of scenes from Dog Beach, right here in Ocean Beach, San Diego
County. You see a lot of interesting things
I am very pleased with the way this painting turned out, the combination of complementary colors blue and orange, with the bright orange of the child's bathing suit bringing the viewers eye to the first focal point, and the dark of the dog bringing the eye to the second one, it really works for me. Of course, it also satisfies my sense of humor, which needs to be done and is a primary element in many of my paintings. I hope you enjoy it! This painting is sold. Thursday, March 10
