FROM TOP: "Little Boy," 6" x 8", Raymar panel, and "Young Man," 6" square, Ampersand Gessobord. Both portraits depicting a yellow lab service dog pup, both pieces done in Golden Open Acrylics. One for my client (once they choose) and one for another lucky soul. Inquiries may always come to me. BOTH SOLD. I could not decide how best to paint Rusty for his foster parents, who are raising him on behalf of Power Paws, an assistance dog organization. My clients will ensure that Rusty grows up well socialized and with excellent manners, before turning him over to Power Paws for task specific training. Rusty's training will be designed specifically to provide a disabled person greater independence. We all know how hard it is to raise a puppy. Can you imagine doing this, knowing the dog was in your home for just a short time? Now granted, the dog IS moving on to a greater job, but nevertheless it takes very special families to foster service dogs. And my clients are no exception - they are long time collectors turned friends who travelled with Rusty to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary this past summer just to meet up with me! So the pressure was on - should I paint Rusty as a puppy, which he was for the majority of his time with my clients, or should I paint Rusty as a young man, ready to move forward and make a tremendous difference in someone's world? I waffled, even after chocolate. So I painted him both ways and asked my clients to choose. Not fair, I know - but now there are two versions of this sweet boy's face. Two versions that will brighten up two homes, while the real Rusty moves onto a third. Thanks for looking at, and sharing, my artwork with your friends and family - Kim

"Tabby Kit," 5" x 7", acrylics on a museum quality panel, depicting a tiny little orange striped guy from Morgue File . This painting can be yours for $289, which includes s&h inside the US. And in case you didn't see it, a little doodle of him is also available for sale here . Inquires may come directly to me . Although it certainly doesn't FEEL like spring here (snow and ice and wind chills, brr!), I can tell that spring is coming. The mercury is rising a wee bit each day and the days are getting longer and brighter. Over the weekend we drove with the moonroof open just to feel the sun's meager and oh-so-very-welcome warmth (although the heat in the car was cranked, too, in the interest of full disclosure!). I wanted to work with spring-like colors today, and this little guy was still on my mind , so I grabbed a small panel and got to work. Of course, I also have Poppy to finish and some changes to make to another po
