Colorful Shih Tzu Dog Art

Mixed Media

2015

Everyone who knows me is well aware of how quickly I process. I think fast. I drive fast. And I paint even faster. When I work with acrylics, my work goes in a furious fashion. It’s all over in a matter of minutes usually. There are the huge beasts that require many hours, but the majority of my work is a race to the finish line. It’s just how I roll.

People have the mistaken idea that digital work is easy. It’s true that running something through a filter does not take much effort. But this little cutie took me over 5 hours to create. It is collage work and bit by tiny bit I form the image using one of my original paintings. Cutting and pasting….cutting and pasting….trimming….adding….tweaking…..It’s maddening in a way. Kind of like O.C.D. (which I have been clinically diagnosed with). I definitely have this disorder (in more ways than one)! Obsessive Creativity Disorder.

Enjoy my madness!

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….
