Show at A Dog's Dream

Seven cat paintings and seven dog paintings are hanging at A Dog's Dream in Georgetown from Feb 14 - March 12, located at 1010 South Bailey St. There are a few new paintings and several updated paintings.

Beauty Girl

Here's another black and white kitty that I did as a commission for Christmas this year. I am getting to be quite the specialist at painting black and white kitties. I have one more black and white kitty commission to do this Christmas...

This is Izzy. Unknown to Izzy's mom, I also had a little kitty named Izzy, who died from lead poisoning when my house was being remodeled. It was a little heart wrenching when I saw her name. Luckily, the woman who commissioned me labeled the photo that I used as a base for the painting "Beauty Girl" so that is what I thought of when I painted this lovely girl.

Introducing Abby

I've been working on a few pet portraits, aside from xmas cards and other little projects. Here is one I can post (others will be posted after Christmas).

I am in Montana visiting my folks and hope to also get some painting in. Wish me luck!

Ziggy the star

This little man hangs out at Happy Hound Hotel all day and night. He is one lucky dog.

I am trying to decide whether he should be a little less gray. I am hoping his best friend lets me know.

The final home for this painting will be in the lobby of Happy Hound.

Issaquah Pet Expo

Accompanied by my little Penny, I am going to be a vendor at a pet expo at Le Chic Pet in Issaquah this Saturday from 11-5. In addition to my booth which has custom pet portraits, other vendors are offering food, leashes, training, treats, etc.

Featured artist at Met Vet

The last show I have scheduled right now is now hung. I am the featured artist at Metropolitan Veterinary Hospital in Tacoma. My friend Barb found their listing for animal artists through the Artist Trust. My paintings will hang through end of October.

I could have used about four more paintings to hang in their lovely reception area and three exam rooms. As it was, I borrowed from my friends and held off giving two commissions to their rightful owners.

Many great artists have shown there, including one of my favorites, Leigh Jackson of Noisy Dog Studio. The coordinator warned that there's not many sales, but that there's good exposure. At this point, exposure is as good as sales.

Barb 's still looking out for me. She sent me info this week about showing at the University Unitarian Church. She had a lovely show there.

I want to check with some other places about November/December shows.

Show at 4 Legs Good

I have ten paintings at 4 Legs Good in Wallingford until the end of this month. I am happy with the hanging (my first), the labels, and the response.

Wednesday night was the Wallingford Art Walk and besides some of my friends, there was a bit of foot traffic too. No sales, but I didn't expect that. A few people took the postcards and one person bought a card.

Bonita, the store owner, is wonderful, very gracious and friendly.
