Ocean Storm

10" x 8"

oil on canvas panel

purchase

Yesterday, we saw a fantastic storm. We thought for sure there would be funnel clouds over the ocean. So we rushed out of World Market and hightailed it to the shore. Although we saw no funnel clouds, it was quite beautiful and in the end of this dramatic play of nature, we were gifted with two rainbows and the sunshine peeping behind billowy clouds over the marsh.

The Daily Dog - Twenty Eight

10" x 8"

oil on canvas

This is Chumley looking out through his new dog door. I use the term "dog door" loosely because it really is just a hole cut into the door. He is deciding if it is safe and how exactly to get on the other side of this new hole. I helped him figure it out with an apple and now he hops through it effortlessly like a rabbit. 

In an effort to keep having to let him out all the time and for him to be more independent, I also taught him how to open the studio door into the carport, so he can jump through the new hole in the door and out to the yard. You can see a short video clip here.

This is Brei Brei

She belongs to Dawn Estrin and her husband and she (and he) makes the most beautiful jewelry.  

You can see her work in Artful Home which is where I first fell in love with her style - by the way, I am a big fan of Artful home catalog, If you don't get it, I highly recommend if you are an art lover. 

Not sure how we came about being long distance friends, but I have done a few portraits for her and have some of her wonderful creations. 

Last year we worked out a deal and now she is using my artwork in her jewelry! 

(The bottom pendant is a painting I did awhile back)

You can see more of her work at her site here:

Bijou Graphique

They also do custom jewelry creations.

Only 5 more to go and I've reached my goal of 30 dogs for 30 days!!
