PAINT MY DOG #6

private collection

It's been holiday portrait season and it's been a busy time for sure - I'm finally coming up for air. I wanted to share this painting from the PAINT MY DOG series that I just love. 

Also, at the end of this month I will be closing my Etsy shop - I have decided to have some galleries represent my work and see how it goes. Edward Dare Gallery in Charleston will be the first of a few. It's a really lovely gallery that represents a wide range of artists and I'm looking forward to working with them.

A while back I had an auction for a dog portrait to raise money for a rescue that needed help with some hospital bills. This is the portrait the woman who won wanted - She and her husband humainly raise dairy cows and are very connected to them.

She also rescues Greek strays and has quite a few of my paintings in her collection.
