These two images are my most recent commission – portraits of Annie and Yogi; we think they are a Lhasa Apso/Basset Hound mix, from the same parents , even though they were adopted from the shelter at different times. They are so sweet together and it’s so wonderful that they are now part of the same family!

My most recent show through the Ashland Art Center A2B program was moved to Skylark due to the Starbucks remodel. Sixteen of my animal paintings are now hanging in the dining area for residents to enjoy every day!

The newest Canine Art Guild show is online now. I have three paintings in it – Velvet Sigh, Dots and Daisy and Angel….so much amazing dog art! Take a peek and be sure to vote in the people’s choice award! Here is the link:http://www.canineartguild.com/gallery/

I visited Sanctuary One again on Thursday to change out my original paintings for framed prints. The originals will soon be on show at the Starbucks in downtown Ashland for 3 months…there has been a bit of a delay on hanging the originals due to their remodel, but they should be up by sometime next week! Here is a photo of the newly framed prints. These will soon also be listed in my Etsy store; however, if you purchase them through the sanctuary directly, you can write them a tax-deductible check for 20% of the purchase price and another check for 80% to me – so they get a 20% donation vs the 10% I usually provide them – a win-win all the way around!

Very fun feature in the Ashland Creek Press blog.  This is my painting of Theo, their General Manager. He looks a bit hardened from all his years in the industry I’ve been having fun stalking him as he does have his own Facebook page. I changed my personal avatar to this painting of Theo – which I titled “You Looking at Me?”
