'Donut'

Just finished this little 5"x7" oil.  Front views and brindles are really hard to do, and this one had both!  Whew!  This one is done in my more traditional style. 

Art Show at the Dog Show Entries

OK.  This is a departure for me.   It is a much more graphic style done in acrylics which I generally don't like using, as they dry really fast.  But in this case, it is a good thing that they dry quickly which enables me to create crisp lines, rather than blending paint together.  The first painting is called 'Grey on Yellow' and it's on a 9" x 12" canvas, the second one is called "Greyhound Head Study'' a 5" x 7" acrylic on canvas.  These two paintings are entered in this year's Art Show at the Dog Show.

Two greyhound paintings published in new book

I am pleased to announce that two of my Greyhound paintings have been published in a new book called Retired From Racing, Not From Life', a book depicting Greyhounds in art and photography.  The book is available on Blurb.com, and profits resulting fro sales go directly to help Greyhound health.

Commission finally finished

This one took months to complete...it was a real challenge. I just recently sent it to its new owner---she really is pleased with the final outcome. Is used a bit of metallic powder on the collar to enhance the design, and to mimic the metallic threads used. The painting measures 20" x 24" oil on linen.

Two of my paintings featured in new book!

I just received my copy of 'Dog Sayings--wit & wisdom from man'd best friend', and am happy to report that two of my paintings are featured in this wonderful book!

2 Paintings Sold!

I just found out that 'Regal At Any Age' already sold at the Borzoi Club of America's National Juried Art Show! 6" x 6" oil on panel. And my 'Hummingbird' also sold at the LSU Animals in Art Show! This painting is 6" x 6" oil on canvas on board. As always I will be donating a chunk of the proceeds to various animal welfare groups.

Borzoi

This handsome dog belongs to a friend of mine. I took some photos of him in the Veteran's Class at a local dog show a while back, and this particular pic looked like something that would be interesting to paint. 6" x6" oil on panel.
