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.

This is Kelly, a highly fortunate dog adopted from a shelter into a great home. Although I think her family would argue the point that they were the ones blessed by her presence. Together they enjoyed 14 years of unconditional love. If we all could be so lucky.

“Remembering Kelly,” 4x6, dog portrait in acrylic on canvasboard, private collection.

Thanks, as always, for looking.
And for sharing these paintings with your friends and family.

  1. I can't thank Kim enough for capturing my beautiful Kelly so wonderfully. She was a "foundling" from the Frederick County Humane Society and I loved her from the moment I saw her. She gave us unbounding joy and was the perfect foster mom to our newest youngster "Maggie". We had to let her go on March 21-it's the hardest thing you ever do, but it's the promise we keep and the price we pay for such unconditional love. We miss her and now I will have this lovely reminder of her to keep forever.
