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.

Special Projects

Periodically I work in series alongside or as part of the daily projects. I am always looking for muses to inspire - if you think your pet fits any of the projects below, please drop me a line! And please know that you are never under any obligation to purchase the resulting artwork.


SUNDAY DRIVERS: I am looking for images of dogs and cars. Completed paintings will be complied into a publication exclusive to this imagery. Please send jpgs directly to me.




RESCUED PETS: I invite you to share the story of how your rescued pet (not just dogs) came into your life. Please send your storys and jpgs to me via email.




BLACK AND WHITE: I am always looking for pets that carry black and white markings, as well as animals that are all black or all white. Painting these guys pushes my color mixing skills to the next level and are an important part of my artistic growth. Please send non-flash photographs to me via email.




STORE (RETAIL) PETS: There are wonderful stories behind the animals that make their homes in retail establishments. I've begun painting their portraits and including identifiable elements of their environment as part of their story. You can let me know about a Michigan store pet by sending me the name of the store; otherwise, non-flash photographs can be sent via email.
