Such a good boy

Flyer was a happy dog.  He would chase birds and steal food off of the table.  He loved carrying one of his beloved stuffed animals in his mouth.  He donated blood for patients at the Purdue Veterinary Teaching Hospital.  He always wore a smile and wagged his tail.

Flyer was such a good boy...an old soul filled with love!

Fabulous art on display at the Midwest Veterinary Conference! Here is a shot of my piece, "Dane-ish". If you are at the meeting, be sure to visit the Wings, Tails, and Scales art exhibit!

Bark Contrast

A slight departure from my norm...all black and white.  There is no better way to depict a Dalmatian, though!

Missing Piece

Soak up the sun (Buddy)

Here is the painting of Buddy, the winner of my Facebook contest last month. Isn't he just the cutest little dog!

Dog's eye view

Here are some behind-the-scenes photos of my work on the Purdue vet school project. The piece is finished and will be delivered to Lynn Hall this week! (Note Cooper critiquing my work in the background of the first picture ;-)

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.

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.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

...and painting is so delightful. So since I've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow let it snow!

Penny for your thoughts

I'm sorry, is this your chair?

I decided to do another piece for the Six by Six Gallery's December show. It's just fun to whip up these little works of art!
