This is my first painting of 2017.

I decided on Chumley because he is my most favorite subject to paint and this is his favorite thing to do - see the fish at the Arboretum. I ask him "do you want to go see the fish?" and he knows exactly what's coming. If I let him, he would stay all day and stare at the koi. When we leave he digs his feet in and pulls on the leash with his teeth to stay. I practically have to drag him out (really sad).

Any way, I'm hoping for the New Year you get to do all of your most favorite things.

Happy New Year Everybody!

I've been on a bit of a break.
For the past few weeks I've had some "painters block".
It happens.
I think I'm back on track.

I have been wanting to paint pirate kitties for a while now - after seeing the cats on Ocrakoke Island, I was inspired. This is the first - he's named after the mythical pirate in "The Princess Bride" (one of my favorite movies).

“Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
