Bode Dog

2014 ended with us losing our beloved sweet Bode. (right)
Just the sweetest boy ever.  We miss him.
Dogs are the best.  Plain and Simple.

 I love painting them too.  Thinking up some ideas for a series of abstract dog inspired paintings that I'm kind of excited about. Nothing like my past dog paintings although I like doing those too   HERE is a dog post from last year and also one of my favorites HERE

Watch Dog - daily painting

6x6" oil on gessobord
watch dog - or watch the dog- is more likely - he, having a tendency to chase squirrells. We call these 2 'litter mates' because they have grown up together and are best buds ....totally painting for myself today :) what a treat

Happy Dog SOLD

6x8" oil on masonite
Dog Days of Summer. What does that mean?? Anyway, dogs are very fun for me to paint. Ive got bunches of them stored in my photo files and I think I'll paint up some over the summer. Karin Jurik was painting some beautiful ones this spring and I thought well dang I cant paint what she paints...but thats silly isnt it. This is my dog Bode, and to know him is to love him. Thinking about the 4th of July this week and what to paint...I have to start with him. He looks happy because the fireworks havent started yet. When they do, he'll be a wreck.
