That's 14 in Dog Years

It is with great excitement that I announce the publication of my second book, That's 14 in Dog Years.

Representing highlights from 2008's Painting a Dog a Day pieces (there were 362 of them) in almost 120 pages, the book includes an essay outlining the year's events and well over 100 color plates (please forgive me for not knowing the exact number but I'm a little cross-eyed right now from editing). This book has been a loooong time in the making, and I am especially pleased to offer it to you.

A limited number of copies will be included in the first print run, so guarantee your inscribed copy by pre-ordering today.

Softcovers are $44.95; hardcovers with a dust jacket at $59.95. Shipping and handling will be another $12; I am always happy to combine shipping costs on orders of multiple copies. Books will ship via US Priority Mail in time for holiday delivery within the contiguous United States. (If you have other needs, please let me know)

Pre-orders may come to me. Specify whether you would like a soft- or hardcover, along with any special instructions for inscriptions.

Don't have my first book Painting a Dog a Day - the First Year? Then order one now, too! Softcovers of the first volume are $34.95; hardcovers $54.95.

Thanks, as always, for looking at - and sharing - my artwork AND BOOKS!!! with your friends and family.

Dear Copyright Thieves

Dear Copyright Thieves,   Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's free for the taking. So let's just stop pretending the internet is a free-for-all.   Don't play the card that you didn't know - that's insulting. And don't also tell me that you meant to follow up and get permission but never got a chance to. That's insulting too. And by the way, don't you have a copyright protection notice on your own site?   And don't even try and point the finger at a third party who commissioned you to make a copy of my painting - again, an insult - you and I both know the difference between a reference photo and a painting.   And don't tell me that I asked for it because I share my artwork on the internet. I share my paintings and ideas and the stories behind them so as to encourage others to pursue  their own passions . I do not share so that those lacking integrity and morals can copy and market the images as their own...

Grindstone

"Grindstone", 16" x 20" acrylics on museum quality panel, depicting Grindstone, just a few strides away from winning The Kentucky Derby in 1996. Read more about this painting's story below - it's a good one! And inquiries may come directly  to me .  Paying it Forward Shortly after getting The Derby Gig, which neatly dovetailed my childhood passion for horse racing with my grown up obsession with painting, I started formulating a plan to give back to the universe. As it played out, The Kentucky Derby Museum got involved, and it was decided I would donate a piece to them, something they could use as a fundraising tool to further their education efforts.  "Would I be interested in painting Grindstone, the winner of the 1996 Derby?" they asked. But of course! Little did I know the background story, though. Every year the Museum asks the owners of the Kentucky Derby winner to donate one breeding to the Museum when th...

Golden Open Acrylics

I get all sorts of process oriented questions. Most recently I've been getting asked a lot about my paints and palette, which made me realize what a nice blog topic this would make! I use a Masterson Sta-Wet Premier palette box . This is comprised of a box (think Tupperware) with a sponge liner and a slice of palette paper that work together to keep my paints wet. This setup allows me to work with the same palette for about a full week, having the box open for multiple hours every day. You can see what the palette looks like at the beginning of a new session above - below the exact same palette after this week's work. For the last 25 years I have used Golden brand acrylics, mediums, and varnish. I love the overall quality of these paints and the fact that, when I have a question, their customer service department is made up of artists who actually use the products. Until last year, I used their Heavy Body paints exclusively. They have a buttery consistency, a little loose...
