Welcome to Painting a Dog a Day

Since October 2006 I've been a daily painter, creating a new pet portrait at least 5 times per week. At first the paintings were mostly dogs, but over the years I've allowed a transgression here and there, and expanded my offerings to include a variety of animals and pets. And yes, I accept commissions! Please join the Painting a Dog a Day community - Sign up using the links at the left to receive the dailies via email or follow the blog with a feed. I post additional info, including in-process jpgs and other related information, on the studio Facebook page as well.

The links above will help navigate through workshops, the commission process, and other options.

Thank you
so much for your continued support of my artwork.

The Girls, In Process

 
 

IN PROCESS, "The Girls," at left is Mya and Ally is on the right, both 8" x 10", portraits of mixed breed young ladies (ladylike behavior is totally optional for Mya), done in acrylics on museum quality panel, private collection (THANK YOU!!).

 
In process pics, lots of them, are on Facebook. I hope to finish both these paintings tonite, so don't forget to check back in to see their cute little faces!!

 
Years ago when a friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, our community took a collective deep breath and rallied with a fundraising event. I donated a gift certificate to the cause - which was won by her daughter! These paintings of her grand-dogs are the delightful result.

 
I'm happy to report she is healthy and loving life, two years post surgery and treatment.

 
Shall we go into the weekend with that visual? Let's all take a collective, victorious breath on her behalf, and for everyone else staring this beast down.

 
Happy, happy weekend!

Taking Flight

 
 

"Taking Flight," 8" x 10", portrait of a tri-colored Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, done in acrylics on museum quality panel, $469. Email me for purchase details.

 
Remember "Pile," the painting I was commissioned to do that was then donated to a Cavalier King Charles fundraiser? (It raised them a very nice chunk of change, by the way!) Well, my client sent me many wonderful inspiration photos and I'm slowly working through my favorites. This breed is truly a joy to paint.

 
In process pics of this guy are on Facebook.

 
And after starting this one, I realized he looks a lot likeanother piece I did nearly 5 years ago to this date starring my friend Dee Dee Murray's dog Hallie. How weird is that?

 

 
Enjoy your evening,
Kim
