Jack Too!

Here is a painting of our precious wire-haired fox terrier, Jack. The vet refers to him as Jack Too as our last dog, a sweetheart Boston terrier, was also named Jack. Jack Too came to us as a 7 year old dog with the same name as our previous dog and we didn't have the heart to try to change a 7 year old dog to a new name!

Jack is fresh from the groomer with a saucy red bandana around his neck. This was painted on Arches paper. I preserved a lot of white to accent Jack's eyes and beard. He is a lovely oatmeal colored dog with apricot and grey patches. 

Birdhouses over Spirit Card Traces

I painted this recently over a faint spirit card trace. Kathy Summers has taught a group to use "spirit cards" - free form background designs - as an additional design interest and color interest point for paintings. Painted on Arches 140# paper.

Paint Out on the Downtown Square in Georgetown

I joined a group of ladies in Georgetown, Texas, led by artist Kathleen McElwaine, on the square in downtown Georgetown as we painted the old Masonic Building. The Georgetown Art Center sponsored this first ever downtown paint out. Artists came from as far away as San Antonio to participate with local artists. It was great!
