This is a birthday present for my mother. This was an emotional painting to paint, we all miss Cisco very much. She was the sweetest most loving dog, we were lucky to have her be part of our lives.

"Reclining Fur" [Not Available]

I painted two....yes two paintings today! I think the daily painting is going to finally help me to loosen up my painting style.
This is my dog Gizmo. She is a remarkable dog. She was a rescue. When we got her she was so small and had tiny little feet. Her head was gigantic for her little body. The vet said that she would be a small dog, 10 lbs or so grown. Now she is about 50 lbs. We call her the wake-em -up dog, because she just loves to wake you up when the alarm goes off in the morning. She pounces on top of us covering us in licks and and dances all over us until we get up.

"Derby" [SOLD]

This is a painting of our miniature daschund Derby. She is looking out the window at the cats on the porch. She hates the cats, but the cats are bigger than her and to her dismay pay her no mind.



I had a great day yesterday shopping for cool things to paint. It is funny, I used to have a terrible time making my mind up about what to paint. I have so many things planned, it is exciting. The produce section and bakery all have new meaning to me. I bought donuts and pastries, vegetables, cadbury eggs, a fancy dipped caramel apple, glassware, and cups. The possibilities are endless. My mantle is full of paintings, I have never been this prolific it feels good.
