Details, details, details…..

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love to paint details. The tinier the brush, the better. Here are a few details of my project to benefit the Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary and their benefit http://dogartforoldfriends.org/ . Stay tuned for more updates!

In Memoriam…

Charlie

So often I’m asked to paint a beloved pet who has passed away. Some have been commissioned as gifts from loved ones, some from close friends and many are commissioned by the grieving owners. I hear stories of these wonderful furbabies and I grieve with each and every one. I’ve lost a few of my own over the years and I know how heart-wrenching it can be.

I’ve seen an increase this year, even painting a few who have been at the Rainbow Bridge for many years. It is an awesome feeling  that I’m creating a memorial that will be cherished for years to come. With my art, I hope to bring a happy memory that might heal even a tiny part of a broken heart.

 For those who have loved and lost, they are never really gone as long as you can remember them in your heart.

I fall in love with my clients!

I fall in love with my clients. It’s as simple as that.

Sometimes people contact me to do a portrait of a pet that has passed away, some are gifts for others, sometimes they are just a gift to themselves. All of my clients have a special relationship with these cherished pets and I love hearing about them when they contact me. I’ve been told that I capture their souls. I hope that’s true because they have certainly captured mine. By the time I finish even the smallest paintings, I am in love.

I hope my clients don’t mind the hug they receive on delivery, even if it’s just virtual. Love was meant to be shared!

I see paintings everywhere!

Sometimes I wish I could turn it off as there are not enough hours in  what’s left of my life to paint all the beautiful photographs I’d like to paint.This gorgeous Springer is Jamie, available thru English Springer Rescue America and I can’t wait to paint him!

What do you see? Take some time to really look each day at the beauty all around you!

I have exciting news in that my art is going to be in two published books! I had forgotten that I even submitted images for this book as it’s been almost a year. But I received news recently that 3 of my water color paintings have been included in Rockport Publishers new book, 1,000 Dog Portraits by Robynne Raye! I am on page 126 and 129 and I am so very honored!

Nora

As an artist, sometimes there are subjects that just speak to your heart more than others. Such is the case with Nora.

Nora was one of 100 Brittanies rescued last July from a breeder who could no longer care for them. She was HW+ and terrified of people. Her foster family decided to adopt her and she was slowly coming around. The unthinkable happened in January when she slipped her leash while vacationing in Florida. I heard about her story at this point and every day held my breath waiting to hear of her being found. Well, after a month of searching, and against all odds, she was found! I painted this, from my heart, in honor of Nora and as a gift for her wonderful family that never gave up on her.  Nora, 4″x4″, acrylic on Gessobord.
