Our dog Seamus died this summer at 11. He was a mix of pointer, lab and husky. The sweetest dog I've ever known. We'll miss him.

a horse

I took a photo of this horse at Hadley Farm at the UMass Amherst campus in Massachusetts where my son's girlfriend is studying to be a vet.
Very sweet animal with a mass of dreads on his head.

orange and bananas

5" by 7" daily pastel painting,unframed

I set up this still life on my black stove but I just love the way blue makes orange pop so I went with the blue shadow.

I hope everyone had a relaxing holiday!

I'm still trying to get my energy back after all the tryptophan in my diet and tonight my husband is making turkey tetrazzini but who can complain!

I recently bought a set of soft blue pastels and thought I'd open them today. I was looking at all my colors and the blues out number the rest. I never thought that I had a favorite color but I am now thinking that it's blue.

book announcement

Hi everyone! I decided to publish a book with some of my paintings of this past year and a little more information about me.
For those of you who may have been wanting to buy a painting but don't have the money to spend (I know what that's like), the book is less of a cost and comes in hard and soft cover.

It would make a great holiday gift!
It's published at blurb.com
Here's the link if you are interested in seeing it. There are a few pages which can be previewed.

acrylic on canvas panel

I enjoy painting water. I thought it would be easier to paint water with acrylics than with pastels. I discovered the opposite.

I may try this composition in pastels also.

5" x 7" border collie

5" by 7" daily acrylic painting

A fun little piece to paint but the image is not the best. I'll try taking a better one tomorrow. This is Abbey, my son's dog when she was a puppy. I did not use any black in this painting, and as in the previous post I used a limited palette.

Gallery wrapped canvas and ready to hang. The canvas is 1 1/2" deep and painted dark green all around.
I decided to paint with acrylics for a while.

I used a limited palette of 3 colors on this piece - alizarin crimson, ultramarine blue and cadmium yellow. And white of course.
