I was so happy to vote against greyhound dog racing in Florida and to see that it passed!  It will be effective next year and these beautiful companion dogs can finally enjoy the good life.  There are so many in rescue and these gentle animals just want love and a cozy place to sleep.  They will steal your heart….and fast!

“To The Moon And Back”

Commission of Luna The Black Lab

2015

I’ve been working on a lot of custom work so far in 2015!  Paintings and portraits for special people.  I was recently asked to create a custom piece featuring this beautiful dog.  Here is what her guardian has to say:

And yes, of course share Luna’s story!  I can give you a few more details b/c she has a pretty sad story with what we think is a happy ending.  When she was rescued (after having been abandoned in Ohio and sent to a high kill shelter), she was blind, severely overweight (120 pounds), and had bilateral cranial crucial ligament disease. She was put on an aggressive diet and she is now down to a svelte 75 pounds.  After we adopted her in March we got her first CCL repaired, but then we discovered a mast cell tumor that also required surgery – luckily the prognosis was good and we went ahead with the second CCL repair.  So the poor girl had 3 surgeries in about 12 weeks.  But now 10 months later she is moving better and still the same sweet, gentle dog – lover of all other dogs, kids, cats and the like.  She loves walking and sniffing the air and believe it or not, car rides are her favorite!

Thank you so much for capturing her look and spirit!!

I’ve never been able to identify with people who say “I don’t like animals.”  I know they have their reasons, but I cannot imagine my world without them.  I grew up for part of my childhood on a farm and I befriended all sorts of critters. Goats and pigs were a favorite.  But ultimately my most beloved are dogs. Aside from their loyal and loving companionship, they are just gosh darn cute! I’ve always especially loved their paws.  There is something about them that gives me warm fuzzies.  Recently while making homemade dog treats, I saw paws in the sweet potatoes I was cutting.  Here is my dog paw.  A canine you can eat!

Of course I have other paws too….

Working on some new pieces for my upcoming show.  My love of dogs makes painting them a natural to me.  It’s interesting as I am painting more on canvas again and scanning these…the canvas texture makes the image look a little blurry, but then I realized that I am comparing them to the ultra smooth perfect background of digital work.  See like I mentioned in a post a few days ago….it is VERY DIFFERENT!  But both are beautiful. 🙂  I hope you enjoy my dog art paintings as much as I enjoy making them.

C’mon Baby And Rescue Me….

If you look around my portfolios, you will notice that I create a lot of animal art.  I grew up in the country on a horse ranch and we had all sorts of critters.  On top of the regular creatures like horses, dogs and cats my Mom was forever bringing home a rescue of some kind.  A pigeon or a pig.  She loved them all and she taught me to care and love for them too.  As an adult I am quite find of dogs and right now I have three.  Great Danes are my breed of choice and we have had 3 at the same time in the past.  We always have at least one in our pack.  I love to paint them and bring out their expressive features.  Many of these gentle giants end up in rescue due to their extreme puppy cuteness that becomes a 100 pound dog in 6 months!  Most people cannot handle small puppies let alone a HUGE one that can eat your sofa!  We take them…we love them….we keep them for life!  You can see more of my dog art here:
