Blahg, Blahg, Blahg

I'm so not chatty, it's hard for me to blog frequently; therefore, I will strive to blog weekly. That will be huge for me!

My latest endeavors include a charcoal portrait of a coworker's grandchild and an update on the nearly finished portrait of Beowoof:

Beowoof's nemesis?

So, I am posting two pictures here. One is of my accomplishment today, since it is, afterall, Sketchy Thursday. The other is of my crazy dog, freaking out when he saw the portrait. He has been barking at it for 30 minutes. I guess he's either giving me a harsh critique, or he really thinks it's another dog!

This dog belongs to a friend of mine, but she doesn't know I did it. Let's see if she can recognize her pup:



And, here is my nutty dog, before the 30-minute barking session. Can you see the concern on his face? lmao!

Back in the saddle (again)

Ummmm, yeah, I took another break. I was painting, but forgot about this blog thing. Sorry, Kellie! Did a little travel, and then the holiday put a crimp in my plans as well. I lost both of my painting days last week, since the doggie day-care was closed. Yes, my dog goes to daycare. He is a very hyper-active little thing, and when he's in my studio, bad things happen.

I'm posting some pics of my paintings currently "on the easel," meaning, they are not nearly finished, but some people have shown an interest in seeing paintings in stages, so here goes....

This one is nearly halfway finished, and is a portrait of my baby on the first day I brought him home, when he was only 8 weeks old:



The following two are of the same dog, who belongs to the owner of Beowoof's doggy daycare. Both are in the beginning stages.
