Malcolm

"Malcolm"
16" x 20" acrylic on canvas

Here's Malcolm...my latest dog commission. I decided to keep the background simple on this one...because I wanted Malcolm's beautiful markings and vibrant collar to be the showcase. It was fun to see him come alive on canvas!

So yes, I have now finally joined the ranks of additional social media (warning: can be exhausting) by becoming a Tweeter. I have heard so many good things about how great a tool it is to promote art. I would love it if you would follow me! and I would love it even more to have you as a fan on my Facebook page!

Hope your weekend is fabuloso!

Contemplating...

Maisie and and her gal pal, Bella

Just wanted to pop in to say hello! I've been blog AWOL this week as I've been focusing on painting. I have three new abstracts in the works...but one in particular is stumping me and it's driving me a little crazy. It's a 16" x 20" and has pretty much been around the world of composition and layering about 6 times now. It's almost as if this painting is trying to teach me something and I'm not quite getting it yet. Time to seriously contemplate!

Anyway...I'll be back soon. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Enjoy!

Two dogs, a book and a movie

Hi everybody...sorry I've been kind of a blog slacker lately. Just been trying to focus on too many things at one time! Anyway, these are two of my earlier dog portraits, note cards of each are now available in my Etsy Dog Shop.

James was back east at a rowing competition last weekend...so Maisie and I did some reading and movie watching together (aside from our daily 10 miles of walking!). Augusten Burroughs is one of my favorite Authors so I've been reading his latest, "A Wolf At The Table"...very dark but very good. Also, if you're looking for an excellent documentary...there's a new one on HBO called, "Boy Interrupted". Wow, this one packs a punch and is so moving and profound.

What book or movie have YOU liked lately? Huh?
