Just trying out a few colors...

I think the dog is having about as much fun as I am!

Me and my shadow

Thanks goes to Devin McKnight of Canine Rehab Aptos for use of his photograph, which inspired this painting! Bazza is a handsome dog that loves to play on the beach!

I got it!

My art proposal for the Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine was accepted!!! I will soon begin creating five 2 ft. by 4 ft. panels that will eventually hang in the west lobby of the school. It is a project of epic proportions...the largest that I have attempted, plus, I'm trying out a different technique for the background. Below is a prototype of what one of the panels will look like. I will post pictures of the project as it progresses.

Plugging away at my Art-o-mat project

I have been working on my blocks for the folks at Art-o-mat. Never imagined 50 little blocks would be so much work...but it's awfully fun, too!

Cooper's snooze

After much trial and error, I have found the airbrush to be my tool of choice for my plate project! I love the way the enamel looks...nice and smooth. I'm sure Cooper doesn't mind that I used pink for his first plate ;-) Definitely more to come, to be sold in my Etsy shop!

Kerplunk!

My prototype for Art-o-mat has been approved! Soon I will be producing these mini versions of my captivating canines, which will be headed to an Art-o-mat near you ;-)
"What is an Art-o-mat?" you say: Art-o-mat machines are old cigarette vending machines that have been converted to vend art (one heck of a recycling project if you ask me...happy earth day!) These machines are in various locations across the US. Over 300 artists from 10 different countries create work for the Art-o-mat project.

Waiting

There's nothing like a dog waiting patiently for you to come home. (Or, waiting to bark at the mailman ;-) It's amazing how some dogs are so in tune with their owners, that they sense their owner's arrival, even when not on a set schedule. Brings to mind the book "Dogs That Know When Their Owners Are Coming Home" by Rupert Sheldrake. An interesting read on animal perceptiveness.
