I started painting this and was so excited about it I posted a little detail photo on Facebook - one of my collectors saw it and pretty much purchased it right off the easel! Yayyy!

Fuzz

"Fuzz"
12" x 12"
oil on canvas
private collection

After we closed the gallery, a store moved in next to Tavernays call Fuzz Love. At first I thought it was a strange name, but after seeing the store and meeting the owners, it couldn't be named anything else! Now, I have a big new wardrobe of super comfy clothes. As a matter of fact I'm wearing one of their dresses right now.

They are a traveler, surfer, laid-back type. They always seem to be in a good mood and they have the sweetest pups that come an visit. One of the pups was found on the side of the road in mexico nearly gone and now she is the happiest dog ever! They are good people and we are so happy to have them as neighbors.

This is a portrait of Fuzz, who the store is named after. She passed awhile ago and she must have been a super special pup because all the stores are named after her.

Dakota

Dakota
9" x 12"
oil on canvas
Sold

About 30 years ago when I was in college, I borrowed something from a friend and it was stolen in my possession. Unable to pay her because I was always broke in those days, I never forgot how understanding she was and I have always wanted to repay her for her kindness. When I found her on Facebook, I saw that she had two dogs so I decided to paint her this portrait. I'm so happy to give her a portrait of her baby, Dakota. Thank you Samedar - after all these years!!
