"Yum III," 6" x 8", cattle dog mixed breed painting in acrylic on canvasboard, $180. Inquiries to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com .

I painted this piece a couple weeks back, and while the client didn't fall in love with it (the tongue covered a bit too much face, I think), I sure did. I debated keeping the painting for myself, but I already have so many paintings at home that I cannot display properly, that I felt guilty. This guy, he deserves a place of honor.

So consider this sweet ole' mug my New Year's gift to you all. May 2008 be full of delights, both culinary and otherwise!

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

PS I hung my show today at the Orion Township Public Library - an entire wall of framed dog-a-days, with a few dog tag paintings and one painfully larger than life chihuahua in there for added effect. The show will be up through the end of this month, so if you are in the area, do stop by and take a peek!
