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.

The Arch


"The Arch," 16" square, Golden Open acrylics on a cradeled panel, depicting Capri's famous Arch, the spot where my neice was proposed to by her other half. This painting is the newest addition to their art collection, a nice reminder of how far they have come - and how far they have yet to go, especially as parents of a new baby boy.

And a huge thank you to my returning collector who has pledged to purchase yesterday's painting - she's agreed to wait until I hang the "Happily Ever After" show, but "Cat-itude" will be headed her way once the show comes down.

Outside of laundry and grocering, the better half of today was spent working on a new collage - the guest book for my brother's wedding, which is this weekend. I always seem to work best with a looming deadline, and this is no exception. Today I completed the signatures (including decorated frontispages and random collages on some of the pages) and finished up collaging the front and back covers - all that's left is stitching/binding everything together and penning a special dedication to him and my newest sister (I love saying that - having grown up with 4 brothers, it's a treat to no longer be all alone).

Would you like a painting of your own? It's never to soon to plan for the holidays, or any sort of gift giving for that matter. Inquiries may always come to me.

Thanks, as always, for looking at - and sharing - my artwork and musings with your friends and family.
