kane

My last dog commission before Christmas! Painting so consistently this last week has proved to me how helpful it is to paint almost every day. So much easier to stay confident. I have enjoyed painting every one of these dogs and I hope all of the receivers of these gifts will be happy.

Kane belongs to one of my best friend's sons. This is painted on an 8 x 10" gallery wrap.

More news....This is going to be a crazy year because we have bought a lot and are building a house......with a STUDIO! Hope it will be finished this time next year. It is my dream lot because it is in the woods and on a beautiful creek. Same suburban area that I live in now. I look forward to having a place to teach once all is settled. I will have lots to juggle this year but will work hard to fit painting in.

Ash

Ash belongs to my good friend's Lynn and Spin. I painted their other dog Stubby a couple of weeks ago. Spin repayed me for that by running over my mailbox. Mr. Perfect did something wrong. So glad we have something on him now. He is still pretty perfect.

Ash is a great example of why people love labs. He is loving, loyal, handsome and playful. He would fetch toys out of the water all day long. Hip replacement has not slowed him down too much.

Isn't this a great pose? He was waiting on the deck for us to come outside and play.

This is painted on a 16 x 20" gallery wrap canvas.
