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.

Parker


 

"Parker," 8" square, commissioned portrait of a Maltese, acrylic on museum quality panel, private collection (THANK YOU!)

 
Inquiries may always come to me - the original has a home, but I can arrange for you to order notecards or reproductions of Parker's painting, or we can even talk about my painting something equally wonderful for your own walls.

 
 
 

Parker's recently left us, but his portrait will stand as a good starting point for remembering years of loyal companionship. It was an honor to have him as a guest in the studio today. 

 
Thanks, as always, for following along with my artwork,
Kim
 



Did You Know This is Puppy Mill Action Week?
 

I've painted dozens of faces that hailed from puppy mills and heard harrowing stories from rescue groups who lovingly take these dogs in, address health, socialization and training issues, and then find them loving homes.

 
If you are considering adding a dog to your family, don't buy from a third party - chances are their dogs came from a puppy mill. Even internet sites source pups from mills. Instead contact a reputable and responsible breeder, find a local rescue group, or visit your shelter.

 
Adding a pet to your family is not an impulse buy. It's a decision that should be carefully considered so that you choose a healthy animal with the right temperment and personality to match your lifestyle.

 
Puppy mills are not part of that equation.
