 Work was called off for the blizzard, 24.8" of snow with high winds, gusts up to 60mph. I'm still recovering from pneumonia so I was very happy to spend the day painting. Pupicek is my favorite subject. Going on 16 years old he is happy to pose for long hours in a warm spot.

The thirty day challenge is going on again this month and I have to say, I am happy to be painting at my leisure.  In keeping with the New Years resolutions it is good to start on day one by posting a painting I am happy with. Whenever I need a boost of confidence I always go back to the dogs. It's fun to explore other subjects but it is the dogs that flow more easily from my brushes.
