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.

Doggles, Terrier Mix



"Doggles," 4" x 8", mixed breed terrier portrait, acrylic on canvasboard. Inquiries may always come to me via email.
I've had this photo in my to-paint pile for about 2 years now. Originally I had wanted to paint her nice and big, but ultimately changed my mind. I've learned to appreciate the value of an intimately sized painting. Seems like the dog's joy and the sunshine grows more potent when compacted.
I anticipate that this painting will sell fairly quickly - my terrier pieces usually do (thank you to all my terrier collectors!!!). Did you know that subscribers to the Painting a Dog a Day newsgroup receive the paintings several hours before they are posted to the blog, thus getting advance purchasing opportunities?
If you are already receiving the Dog-a-Day paintings via email, you are already part of this privileged group and I thank you.
If someone has forwarded "Doggles" to you, and you would like to be one of the first to see fresh-off-the-easel Dog-a-Day paintings, there's a simple fix. Just sign up to receive the newsgroup in your email box! (I promise not to sell your addresses or use them for anything other than sharing my artwork. Honest injun.) You may use the box over to the right hand side on the blog.

While you're at it, sign up to receive the studio newsletter as well. I'm planning on sending updates about exhibitions, classes and other events periodically, maybe every second or third month. I promise it won't be a ton of extra email clogging your in-box.
Thanks as always for sharing my paintings.
See you tomorrow!
