Nancy’s Harry, a handsome black greyhound with a roman nose and toothy underbite, is up next. We had some trouble to come up with a good reference photo, but she just sent me a wonderful one of him at Dewey Beach, DE, looking out over the waves. I think I can make that work, so … Read More “Portrait Marathon: Who’s next?”
Whew!! Phoenix is finished, and I’m quite pleased with how he turned out. I’m impatiently waiting for it to dry enough so I can scan it to show you. *drumming fingers**checking dryness, checking time, adding 3 hours for the east coast**drumming fingers some more**checking dryness, huffing in frustration, and going to get a beer**squinting at … Read More “Portrait Marathon update: Phoenix is Done!”
I had to salvage a website that went down in flames today, which set me back. But Phoenix rises from the ashes! All cool blues (for the moment). Looks like Delft, don’t you think? I really almost hate to go past this point, it’s so pretty. But, the final product should be worth it. Maybe … Read More “portrait Marathon update: Phoenix progress – The Blue Phase”
Some folks have expressed interest in the progress pictures, which I didn’t post for Quilty. So, we’ll go backwards in time here to get a look at how she ended up done. Here’s the reference photo: I have to start these by cropping the photo down to fill as much of the canvas as I … Read More “Portrait Marathon update: Quilty progress (going backwards in time)”

TO ME!!“ So, here’s Quilty, in all her bossy splendor. Heathers, I hope you enjoy the portrait! I’ve got Saturday-ish things to do today, but I’ll … Read More “Portrait Marathon update: Quilty is done”
I’m testing to see if people can upload their pictures here as comments. Let’s see …. Testing with Mylie, who “posed” for my Better Days show a few years ago. Want to see what Mylie’s portrait came out like? Mylie, NOT in a shelter! (The Better Day show was a series of portraits of dogs … Read More “Portrait Marathon: Sign ups imminent. This is a test!”
Yeah, so, if you’re coming to Dewey, first of all, make sure you come see me/us. Second of all, come on Monday and bring a hole punch. Tuesday at the latest! 😀 Oh, well. I guess I should probably plan on finding one between here and there for my self, huh? Fine. I have to … Read More “Bring me … a HOLE PUNCH!”
Santa Scritchies! Some people *ahem* have been requesting (in the strongest possible terms! 😉 ) a Santa card. I’ve done one every year, so I accepted the inevitable, and launched off from a great idea by Sandy Szarzi (thanks, Sandy!) for this year’s offering. It’s up on the website, available to order, but it’s just … Read More “Santa card, as requested!”
