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.

ABOVE, FROM TOP: "Remembering Puddles," 5" x 7", SOLD, and "Yum IV (Puddles)," 4" x 5", $ 114. Both portraits depict a very loved beagle/hound mix. Inquiries may come to ksantini@turtledovedesigns.com .

I had a busy day Monday. Spent the morning in the studio, actively painting and getting substantial work done on a number of pieces.

In the afternoon I taped a segment for a cable show in my area called "Lunch at CJs." I showed a number of recent paintings and talked about the Painting a Dog a Day project - it was a great time! I will share a link to the digital broadcast when the editing has been completed and the show is scheduled to air - stay tuned!

Raced home from that to get dinner going and the kids off to music lessons. My oldest then got shuttled to soccer practice, and the remaining Santini's settled around the kitchen table for the Checkers Championship of the Universe. I was narrowly defeated in the final match by a cunning 7 year old.

About that time some wicked thunderstorms rolled in. I opted to keep the computer powered down, and instead curled up with a good book and a glass of wine. It was a wonderfully quiet and relaxing night, listening to the rain and imagining the snow getting rinsed away (which it has been!!! cartwheels!!).

So my apologies for sharing yesterday's dog, aptly named "Puddles," with you a day later than normal.

Now back to the easel for some more work!!
Thanks, as always, for sharing these paintings with your friends and family!
