This cute, little guy is Chip, going for a happy walk with my neighbor.

More Dogs Rule

Well good - I set out to do a set of nine dog paintings for the show and I love all of them. The top dog is a little cutie I spotted in Decatur, on Memorial Day - and the one underneath is my happy dog Jack, who, as you can see, has recovered very well from his knee surgery. He's such a doll.

Two more dogs to add to the set - the top dog, and he IS a top dog, is my Petey. The one under him is a little Yorkie I spotted on Michigan Avenue, who despite his size, was in total control of the walk.

Three more dogs to add to the set - what fun these are to paint. The bassett hounds at the top were spotted in a park in Manhattan - the dachsund in the middle is the late and great "Dewey" who belonged to a good friend - and the red hound (don't know the breed) was spotted in Piedmont Park in Atlanta.

Dogs Rule

I started this REALLY fun series of dogs - I hope to do a grouping of nine for the July show. They're 6 x 6" and they're of all different pets - some I've seen out and about and a few that belong to friends or neighbors of mine. I'm a huge sucker for dogs, I always try to say hello and introduce myself. They make me happy.

The little guy on the top is "Chip", my neighbor's dog and the two on the bottom were spotted at an arts festival in Decatur, Georgia.

The only way I know how to wait out Jack's surgery is to stay busy. So naturally I felt compelled to paint a dog. One of the many little sweeties that I spotted on my walk around San Francisco. This little guy was temporarily docked while his owner shared a cup of coffee with another friend. You might have read this before - when I go out of town, I miss my dogs terribly - but an occasional stop to kneel down and pet some fur and get my face licked really does the trick. I just love dogs.
