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.

Troll Baby


"Troll Baby," 12" square, acrylic on canvasboard, not currently available (but you know I will always do a wait-list, so email me if you can't live without it!).

This painting illustrates how I feel today. A cold has settled in my chest and ears, and I'm in a Nyquil-induced haze. Hopefully it'll run it's course and I'll be back to no good in no time. 

"Troll Baby" will be featured in my solo show at Flint Street Gallery in Lake Orion, Michigan during the month of April 2009. The show will feature paintings from the "Toys & Treasures" series (previously titled "Tags, Toys & Treasures") - Barbie portraits, sock monkeys, kewpie dolls, candies, Fisher Price Little People dogs, vintage pull toys, dog collars and all sorts of other items.
 
If you are in Michigan (and on my mailing list), I'll be sending postcards out in another week or so with the details of the exhibition. Flint Street Gallery is a very fun place, and the opening party promises to be a good time.
 
Thanks for sharing my paintings!
See you tomorrow,
Kim
