Dogs on display

Over a month since I last posted, huh? Wow. There is a reason. A very GOOD reason...but I'm not quite ready to spill the beans. I haven't picked up a paintbrush in almost three months. My poor 30 dogs project has been neglected....but not forgotten. This hiatus was necessary, and soon enough I'll be able to explain why. For now, I'm thrilled to say that my summer has officially started! School is out, my three-day school-related summer gig is over, and I can now put my teacher hat on the shelf and don my pet portrait artist hat...and leave it on. Yipee! If you are one of the eleven 30 dogs participants who is patiently waiting to see the portrait of your pup, I won't let you down. I intend to finish the project in the next several weeks.

A little bit of excitement that I can share is that ten of my dog paintings were selected for a show at a local art gallery. Most of these pieces are un-purchased 30 dogs portraits. I'm calling them (only verbally) "dogs looking for a good home." They will soon be available for sale WITH frames. For now, however, they will hang for another week.

I hope you are enjoying your summer so far!
