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.

Happy Birthday, Princess!!


 

11 years ago, My Better Half and I were given the remarkable gift of a daughter.

 
I am the oldest of five with four younger brothers, and we already had two young boys, now suddenly big brothers. I was totally comfortable with Tonka and Monday Night Football and laughing at body noises.

 
What on earth was I going to do with a girl?

 
The Princess brought us up to speed in no time at all. She dances through life with a dazzling smile and an eager song, always ready to help and give of herself.

 
Happy birthday to the most remarkable young lady I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

 
Thank you so much for supporting my artwork and providing my livelihood,
Kim, aka Mom

 
PS Lest the boys feel left out, I should give them props, too. Caped Crusader, you keep me young at heart and on my toes and have the power of lighting up the room with your presence. And Man Child, you are an amazing young adult with a fierce loyalty, a steadfast heart and music in your soul. Not a day goes by that you two don't make me proud.
