Pug Wine Label

I did a commission a few months ago for a vineyard in California - well, the label is done and here it isl -  How exciting!

Never would have thought my art would end up on a label!

Bald Head Island, paintings, and other goings on....

Bald Head Island demo was great! I met a lot of people and they had a really nice place for us to stay. I got a lot of commissions and I suspect things are going to get pretty busy around here. 

In case you are wondering about the apron - no, I don't work at Starbucks - my son gave me this apron for Christmas - we are both big Starbucks fans, well, coffee fans and since there is a Starbucks on every corner it's kinda hard not to be a fan.


Here are some paintings I did while I was doing my demo. 


I must be getting back into blues - I just noticed both backgrounds are blue. I did get a tube of Phalo Blue and just loving it!!

Wanted to let you know, I'm  having a book signing at Chamblins Uptown and an art show at Bee Gallery for Artwalk in August in Jacksonville, FL. I'm bringing a lot of new paintings that will be at the Landing and I'll be signing the Downtown Dog books at Chamblins.
