something new for me

So a very nice guy bought his wonderful animal loving wife a very thoughtful birthday present (a painting from me). The wonderful animal loving wife loved her gift (*phew*) and told a super nice co worker how much she loved her painting. This super nice co worker is also a super nice pug loving neighbor of mine (who knew!?!). And for her I am working on two paintings. Each painting includes a black pug. Pugs are adorable but I found them very hard to paint. They are so damn cute but one wrong line and you can make them look like a weird cartoon character. So I was nervous I would not be able to do her adorable little buddies justice and after many sketches I decided I had to just jump into painting. I got as far as having the entire piece painted with the exception of the eyes and I was still very worried. But I painted in the eyes as exactly as they were in the picture provided and tada!
I love it! And more importantly, so did my super nice pug loving neighbor. So on to painting two...

Art Fits Vermont

The wonderful Jackie of the Addison County Humane Society invited me to participate in Art Fits Vermont ( http://www.vermontartscouncil.org/tabid/744/default.aspx ). I was extremely excited to be part of this event as the last similar event got such an amazing reception--people really got into it and a great deal of money ws raised. Funny thing...I had the hardest damn time figuring out what to paint on my puzzle piece. And ofcourse it was Jackie that very simply told me ' just do one of your Twilight paintings!' She was so right. Im very happy with how it turned out. My twilight pieces seem so simple but they seem to reach the most people and in actuality they take me a lot of time. I just finished varnishing it last night and I had to take a quick pic before I left for the office this morning so I hope you can see it ok:

ALSO AVAILABLE

I forgot to inlcude pics of my 'candy' colored series in the post below of available pieces. Sorry! Here is a couple pics of the series. Both kitties and pups are available. Each piece is 6" x 8" and is $25. These pieces are simple looking but they take a great deal of time to create. They are priced inexpensively so people can buy a grouping for $100 or less. They look good individually but look sooo good as a group!


This pic is from yesertdays event. Sorry, I forgot to take a close up.



This pic is from the June event. Not all pieces shown here are still available but you can
see them better!

AVAILABLE

I had a couple inquiries last evening after the Middlebury event yesterday so I thought it would be quick and easy if I posted images of the pieces I currently have available. If you are interested in any of the pieces you see here or if you have any questions about a custom piece, just email me at yellowdogart@aol.com . If you see a piece you like but would like a similar piece done in different colors or a different size, I might bale to do that too! The mini easels you see in the pics of the smaller pieces are available as well.

Thanks for looking!
