You know I need a spiritual lift when I paint a dog. My moment of Zen. This cutey is my good friend's frisbee-loving, pillow-chewing, one-year-old Abbey - who is a white, yellow labrador retriever. Her fur is compelling in that it brings out blues, tans, purples, greens, pinks - well let's just say all colors in the shadows and light. Love it. I'm sure I'll do more of this sweetie pie.
and an update....... I've got 18 new paintings to show you in a couple of weeks - I'm very anxious to post them but they are in the early stages of drying, then varnishing, then framing and finally delivered to several galleries around the second week of March. Once they've arrived, I will show all of them on my blog and my website. I can't wait. Meanwhile, I have some catching up to do with real life and I surely will keep warmed up with some small, loose paintings that I will offer on auction. These small studies, as I am reminded today, are so much fun.

ReplyDeleteDoggy fix is truly a spiritual life (it's up there with serious sushi encounter for me!). I don't have a dog but I keep a box of milk bone in the house and carry a couple biscuits with me hehe Congrats on the 18 pieces WOW! You need a vacation or yoga retreat after that. Looking forward to the unveiling!
ReplyDeleteJust wonderful as always!!
ReplyDeleteLove the dog, and the energy in this piece. Anxious as well to see your new work. Love to hear from you.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely wonderful! It gave me a lift just looking at it.
