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.

Cooper


"Cooper," 8" x 10", a commissioned portrait of a dearly beloved golden retriever who recently crossed the bridge. This is done in acrylics on a museum quality panel. Cooper's painting has been spoken for, but I'm happy to privately discuss painting something like this starring your dog (or cat or horse or rabbit or guinea pig or whatever). Inquiries may come to me.

In process images are on the studio Facebook page.

Kim, who was delighted to open her palette up today, even if it did smell rather skunky and had a bit of a science project growing over the cadmiums.......

The Lure of the Easel

It's been 2 weeks since I painted in my studio. It's been nearly a year since I did a deep clean in there.

This week my goal was to do a wall each day - pull things down, wipe every surface, purge and reorganize.

A great concept, but not terribly realistic.

Monday I unpacked and did laundry. Tuesday I tried to dent my email volumes. Wednesday I buckled down and cleared off a wall of bookshelves. Yesterday I bailed for time with the kids. Today the easel won out.

What are the odds of another wall getting some attention this week?

  1. Cooper is just beautiful, Kimberly! So happy I found your blog. Your paintings are colorful and expressive and I've really enjoyed the time I've spent looking at them. I had to laugh at your comment about the science project growing on your cadmiums...thought I was the only one to get that, lol! For me it is the earth colors, though. And the smell...yuck!...and that is the nicest way I can say it! Take care and happy painting. :o)
