Charity Painting to benefit Lone Star Bulldog Rescue

Charity Painting to benefit Lone Star Bulldog Rescue
and check out "Computer Tools for Artists" on eBay





This is a watercolor painting that I did a few years ago. I am auctioning it off to generate funds for Lone Star Bulldog Rescue

From the Lone Star Bulldog site: Here at Lone Star Bulldog Rescue we accept Bulldogs whose owners can no longer keep them, and retrieve Bulldogs from shelters and undesirable situations. We then rehabilitate them before placement by providing necessary medical treatment, as well as spaying and neutering all dogs that come into our care.At this point we thoroughly screen applicants before making placement decisions, as well as informing interested adopters about rescue and our requirements. Then we place Bulldogs in suitable homes as soon as reasonably possible, so they can start their "new lives" quickly.While these Bulldogs are waiting for their new homes they are fostered in the home of someone in our rescue.

Any of you artists out there will be interested in the book I have on ebay - there are only a few hours left - check it out - Creative Computer Tools for Artists - it shows you how to use your computer to help with compositional decisions, color choices, lots of great ideas for using the power of your computer to help you make better art! I really learned a lot from it. You might be interested in looking at it - click here to view the auction for the book, or search for aportraitforyou on eBay.

Thanks again for your interest and emails!

Three Pugs with Personality!

Three Pugs with Personality!

These three adorable dogs were actually painted from one photograph! I don't know how she got them to sit like that LOL


Don't worry, if you can't get all the critters to behave at the same time, most of my portraits are painted from multiple photos.

Here are some closeups of their faces:

Weekly Post

In an effort to reduce the amount of time I spend on this computer (which is getting way out of hand) I am going to start posting the daily paintings once a week. I'm not sure what day it will be, but I'm going to try to get organized. If you want to see each painting as I paint it, be sure to sign up for the Daily Dog Painting email newsletter and you will get the paintings as I finish them!

Without further ado - here are this week's paintings leading off with Sunday's Charity Auction:

You'll be seeing more of this boy, I think!

This is the first in a series I have planned of dogs and their favorite toys.
If you have a photo of your dog and their favorite toy and would like to see it as a painting - please send it to me! I would greatly appreciate it and I'm sure everyone else will too!

"The Clown and the Lady"

This is a private commission I am working on, it's not completely done yet. I am going to add some interplay of light and color from a window that is out of view from the painting, but I thought you might be interested in seeing a larger work, although the photo is not good.
