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.

Patches


 
"Patches," 10" square, commissioned portrait of a shepherd mix, acrylic on museum quality panel, private collection (THANK YOU!). Inquiries may come to me.

 
In process photos of this painting can be viewed on the studio's Facebook page

 
(And for the record, any of you who can see a line seeimingly traced across Patches face, that is just residual from Photoshop piecing multiple scans together - it is not really on the painting!)

 


 

 
Patches was a quiet and pensive guy, the happiest when he was at his "boy's" side. Which he was, pretty much every moment he could be. Over the course of 14 years, they were only apart about 20 days.

 
And now Patches' painting will grace his "boy's" home.

 
They find a way to stay with us, in our hearts and stories, in our dreams, and if we are lucky, in photographs and artwork.

 
It was an honor to paint Patches' memory for his family,
Kim

  1. Patches me paraît être un bon chien, il a un regard si doux... Des nuances de couleurs sublimes.
    Gros bisous.
