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.

Henry

 
 
 

"Henry," 6" square, acrylics on museum quality panel, a commissioned portrait of, well, of Henry. Private collection (THANK YOU!).

 
Henry's in process here on the studio's Facebook page.

 
Inquiries are always welcomed - yes, I can do something similar for you - shoot an email in my direction.
 
 


Henry's Grandma has two favorite animal painters and couldn't choose who she wanted to paint his likeness, so she extended an invitation to the both of us.

 
I was pleased to hear that Karen Mathison Schmidt was the other artist. I'm an admirer of her work, and this gave me an excuse to introduce myseld and ask to be her friend.

 
She said yes, BTW.

 
And, she'll be sharing her version of Henry later today on her blog, too.
 

I can't wait to see what she did with his cute little face,
Kim

  1. I would like to see the reference photo you and Karen Schmidt are using - see how both of you approach this is fascinating - the in progress photos are invaluable.

    1. Sue, Karen and I are using different photos as main inspiration. I think we got the same initial batch of images as a means of introduction to Henry, though. So there's more to the differences in our paintings (meaning more in addition to our stylistic differences). But that's a good question and point!! I should be more diligent in sharing my source materials along with the in process pics!!
