"Buster"

My latest painting is staying in the family. This is a painting of my mother-in-law's dog Buster. He posed perfectly for me and I HAD to paint him. I will deliver it to her this weekend.

"Sassy"

What a sleepy, rainy day this is. I just finished my first big show yesterday. It was the "NWA Boutique Show" in which I was the only fine artist participating. I have to say that it was a great experience and will make money for me in time. I got two commissioned jobs for sure yesterday plus many "I will definitely be calling you" remarks. If I do this same show in the spring I will definitely be bringing more examples of children's portraits and pet portraits as the clientelle of this event is primarily young women with small children.

The painting I'm posting today is called "Sassy" and it is a commission that I just finished. I will be delivering it next week to the client who is presenting it to his mother for her birthday. I think she will be happy.
