Thanks to all of you for your kind and comforting words while we've been going through this. I apologize for not getting back to each of you personally. Please know though that I do cherish you...and feel so lucky to have met so many wonderful people through this blog. What a gift.
Now...let's talk about some art! Nothing like shoving me back to work!...I had to get three paintings up to Loveland, Colorado for a show last weekend. It was a juried canine art exhibit at the American Buckhorn Valley Kennel Club All Breed Dog Show. The paintings below were the ones accepted. It was a small show...but there was some exceptional dog art. The sculptural work blew me away...I wish I had pictures to show you.
Hope you all are doing well...I can't wait to catch up on your blogs this week. In the meantime...help me with one big collective sigh...and let's get that creative juju flowing again!

Welcome back Linda! It's good to here from you.
Congrats on the dog show your paintings are beautiful. I love the boston...... of course!
Glad to have you posting again!
Good to see you back in the cyber world. Love that Boston. Hope the break has been one of healing and support. Sometimes you have to unplug. We missed you.
Yes.. missed you and your posts. Welcome back and sorry to hear of your loss again. :-( Love those paintings!
Congratulations - THREE pieces in the show! And look how wonderful they are. That Boston is particularly wonderful. I am glad you took your time a little after your loss. That's important. Missed you...
So glad to see a new post from you! I've been thinking about you daily. (Something is traveling via snail mail across the country to you, as well.) Congratulations on the three pieces in the show. I'm partial to the Greyhounds, as I will someday adopt one (or more)!
Welcome back. Ease back into the saddle. We definitely missed you!
xoxo,
Christine

Linda,
So sorry for your loss. Steve sounds like a wonderful and inspirational guy. You were so lucky to have him in your life, and him to have you. Your art is wonderful, especially those greyhounds. Love 'em.
BIG HUGS welcome home...hey I love "theo"s eyes,that demon dog look...I see it many times in my pupperrrrrrrrrroni. It's the can't decide if I wuv you or wanna be mean.
Hey Linda, nice to see you getting back to the swing of things. I hope your art will cheer you up and motivate you.
Not surprising these 3 beauties were accepted into that show, they are stunning. Nobody in my book, does animal art/portraits as well as you. You capture a certain light, spark of life and such personality in each one. Someday I'm going to have you paint my guys.
Theo's little soul searching eyes are fantastic! You've really captured his spirit. Brilliant painting!
Fantastic paintings, Linda! Big congratulations on the show!!
Welcome welcome back.
Welcome back, Linda. I've missed your blogs and your paintings. All wonderful! Congratulations on getting THREE into the juried show. Can't wait to see your next one!
