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.

Smile

 
 
 

"Smile," 8" x 10", commissioned portrait of a yellow lab, done in acrylic on museum quality panel. This painting has a home (or rather, I hope so - I haven't yet heard back from my client!), but I am happy to create something similar for you - just let me know!

 
In process pics of "Smile" are on my studio Facebook page. Along with a link to a gorgeous piece done by one of my mentors, Vianna Szabo.

 
Last Friday I asked Facebook followers if I should paint for myself or work on a commissioned piece. There was a variety of advice, but Vianna's seemed to be the most sage. "(paint for your)self! That way you will paint a better commission when the time comes. Trust me I know...."

 
Enjoy,
Kim, who has a couple days this week blocked out to paint for herself

 
PS Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!!
