Finally getting around to posting the final photo of the two golden retrievers

Uintah - Golden Retriever SAR Dog

UINTAH
GOLDEN RETRIEVER
SEARCH & RESCUE DOG

This is the first painting in my new project of painting Search & Rescue, K-9 or Mounted Patrol animals.

Kacy is Uintah's partner - here is what she says about Uintah:

"Uintah and I are with Rocky Mountain Rescue Dogs. www.rockymountainrescuedogs.net We are an all volunteer rescue team who provides our services to any police agency requesting them. We do wilderness/area searches, avalanche rescues, water recovery, disaster recovery, human tracking/trailing, and cadaver. We train weekly with our dogs and then once a month as a group.

"Uintah is a 2 1/2 year old Golden Retriever. She was my graduation present from my husband. I drove from Connectiuct to Wyoming on my way home to Utah to get her, and we have been inseparable since then. She was named because of the Uinta Mountains here in Utah and is living up to her name. She is an amazing search and rescue dog, because there is nothing in this world she loves more than people. She gets a huge smile on her face when someone-anyone-is paying attention to her. She is wonderful with kids and older people, and she becomes a little ham when anyone has a camera. Her favorite trick is wave bye-bye, but she can also spin, rewind, stick-um-up, be shy, play dead, high 5, shake, and crawl. She is truly my best friend, my partner, my entertainment and my world."

If you are a member of Search & Rescue, K-9 or Mounted Patrol, please allow me to paint a small portrait for you at no charge, in gratitude for your service.

As usual, thanks for your interest in my artwork and the encouragement and emails!

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:

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.
