I am spending a LOT of time working on all new pieces for the HSCC event and I would love to show you pictures of what Im working on but I decided not to do that. I would like everything to be new and fresh that night so pictures of those will come after the show. However, I did find this old photo of a piece I did as a gift. Not a great picture but I liked how the piece itself turned out. Knowing the girls made it so much more fun to do.





This was done during my cardboard phase. A canvas used to stress me out but using the cardboard found everywhere made me much more relaxed and willing to paint. Both at work and at home I found a continuous stream of cardboard bound for the dumpster so I gathered it up and painted like crazy. Most of the pieces I just give away are on cardboard. They probably will not last forever but they cost the new owners nothing, they kept the cardboard from landing in the landfill and I had fun. I have two huge storage bins of fun-to-be in my basement waiting.

At lunch time today Jackson wanted to go out. And again every few minutes after that for the ENTIRE day. What a booger. He LOVES snow. He would stay out until things turned purple if I let him.

My favorite new sketch for the HSCC Art Show so far:

Its not the best view of the sketch but I cant give too much away!

Now off to paint. And do laundry. And burn the dog show onto dvd. And play with Jack. And try the Vermont Made Gelato I picked up this morning. Not necessarily in that order.

Im sooo tired. This week FLEW by. So just a quick post for the night. Below is Miss Lottie. Better known as Missy. This cat is usually seen flying down the hallway or heard thumping around in the tub. This is one of her rare quiet moments. Here she is on her new favorite bed. To think I almost gave that thing away... the stuffed dog, not Missy.

I cant thank Georgia enough. The site is done. Ofcourse there are always things that can be added and yes, there is mostly filler in the artwork section but I am loving this new site. I think I can actually update this one so that is a huge bonus. Now I just have to get back to painting!

Oh, and Georgia, if you are reading this, I have a package of Twizzlers with your name on it. I actually bought it today but I forgot to pull them out of my bag. My bad.

Guess what I am doing today...

This is what I am currently working on...

No more pictures of that until the HSCC Art Show in April.

These paintings have all been sold or donated but I dont think I ever posted images of them online. This will be a good test of Bloggers image upload feature (and my user skills)...

The new FINISHED web site will be up by the end of this weekend! Originally I had my site professionally done. It was a great site but it was very difficult to update and it needed a new look. I then tried to make the sit eon my own thinking if I create it I will be able to update it. Well, I dont like the site I created on my own so my wonderful amazingly talented friend, Georgia, has agreed to let me bribe her with music, fun and food to help me with the details.

CHECK OUT WWW.YELLOWDOGART.COM this coming Monday (February 18th) to see the new and improved (and complete) web site.

Thank you for being so patient!
