The Canine Trio


Just finished this commission of 3 beautiful dogs - Tex, Lilly and Buford. I worked from several photos taken by the owner which were wonderful.
Tex blends somewhat into the background but with total different color dogs, it was difficult to find a color that was compatible. The color is richer and more gold than it shows here.

"Billy Goat" Wins 3rd Place Award


The "Billy Goat" won a 3rd place award at the Appalachian Pastel Society member show Oct 2nd at Black Mountain, NC. The goat was just painted for fun, but had received several very favorable comments so I decided to enter him in a juried show along with the golden "Summer Snooze". Both were accepted into the show but was plesantly surprised to find out we won an award.
