Most mornings I get up early to paint when the house is quiet and their are no distractions. After I feed Chumley and Frida, I'm off to paint something new.

After they eat, it's nap time and then when the house starts waking up, they listen...  this is the second favorite time of the day because the prospect of more food is imminent. They listen to every
little noise, they look and wait. It's really funny to watch - they are a constant source of entertainment. 

I have really great news... I am featured in Modern Dog Magazine this issue. I found out last night when I received a request for a large commission after they had seeing my work in the magazine.

I plan on painting this on a much bigger canvas, but wanted to do a smaller version first. 

This is from one on the first photos taken of our dog, Frida. She had just gotten a new purple leash as a gift from Guy's daughter. A few days before she had escaped death at the pound and we were waiting for a ferry that was taking us on a vacation to the beach. Needless to say, we all had wonderful, bonding time and are SO grateful to have her in our lives - 

I think she is too.
