Since the beginning of the year I have been focusing on large canvas landscapes. Every now and then I need to go back to my comfort zone and paint a dog or two. It reassures me that I can produce something I am happy with and in a much shorter time frame. Dumpling
seems like a perfectly named sweetie-pie.

Many people consider their pets as a family member. A pet dog has to be given attention, and this is a time consuming activity. Sometimes a dog owner is not able to give adequate care due to a job, traveling schedule or distant other commitments. There are a number of dog care agencies that provide the solution in such situations. A dog owner can easily locate the addresses of dog care agencies in their area from the newspapers, Internet or directories.

You are never too old to learn new tricks. The palette knife painting workshop with Leslie Saeta was an excellent experience. I have used the palette knife in a very limited way in the past but it will be a more regular tool for me in the future. Thanks Leslie!

Thank you to everyone who followed my Thirty Dogs in Thirty Days. It is always a good exercise, exciting to begin and a relief to be finished!

It's September, time for thirty paintings in thirty days again! This year I've taken a different approach. Instead of asking friends to send me their pictures, I met and photographed each dog myself. Some dogs were more cooperative than others but I like the mixed bag of poses and expressions I ended up with. Everyone I spoke with was so nice to allow me to photograph their dogs, thank you all for agreeing to be part of this project!

I'm having fun experimenting with the techniques I learned at a three-day workshop with Dreama Tolle Perry.

Using transparent oils as the base of a painting really makes the final colors pop. And painting with Dreama was such a treat, she is just lovely.

The Thirty-Paintings in Thirty Days was such a good experience for me. I feel as though my work has improved from the experience. It is nice now to be able to take my time and paint a little larger.

Halfway through the challenge and over two-hundred artists are still posting daily paintings!

I have joined Leslie Saeta's "Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days" challenge. Three hundred and forty-two artists will create over 10,000 paintings during the month of September. You can see everyone's work here:

I'm hoping this challenge will jump-start my painting which has sadly taken a back seat to a busy summer. And now the fun begins....
