Time for a giveaway!!

I have a bunch of new stuff to post, but need to get the pictures ready so in the meantime, I thought it was time for a giveaway.

Something different though, you get your choice of two little oil paintings, both are 6 x 8". The black greyhound is called "Soulful Eyes", the landscape is "Pretty View". Whichever one is not claimed is for sale for $45.00. So drop me an email at canineart@windstream.net and be the first one to do so... you then get your choice of paintings. When it is claimed, I will post and the other painting will be for sale. Don't forget though, you do need to pay shipping which will be about $3. for either of these.

American Whippet Club National Specialty booth

I can't believe it has been so long since I have posted, but everything seemed to go on hold for this National. First all the work building up to it, then the week there and now it seems it has taken me another week to recouperate. Everything went great at the Atlanta Hilton Airport. All the vendors were set up in a light airy atrium area just outside the ballroom where all the judging was taking place. In a separate ballroom, several other events were held including the art show. I entered 4 pieces, 1 large Oil painting titled Timeless, 2 small 6 x 8' oils, and a handmade book with whippet watercolors. I recieved placements on Timeless (2nd), one of the small ones (1st) and on the handmade book.

I think my artwork booth looked really good. I made several changes to better display the artwork. My new oil paintings were very well recieved! Thank you so much to all the people who purchased my pieces. I wish you many years of enjoyment.

Art Show at the Dog Show awards

Just received official notification today. Whippet and Wallpaper has won 3rd place in the Other Media category and The Antique Chair won Best Whippet. I am thrilled!!

Computer problems but I'm back!

Was out of commission for a few days while my computer was down. Caught a virus so I had to take it in to the shop and get it cleaned up.... poor baby. I missed it! So now I am trying to get caught up.

I have completed several new paintings.... more whippets of course and a new landscape, though I guess it really is a seascape. Location, Dewey Beach, DE.

9 x 12" oil

Richeson75 International art competion

I got "the envelope" on Friday and one of the pieces I submitted for the Small Works show has been accepted! This is so exciting and a great honor to be chosen. The piece they accepted is "Sniffing Winter Air", an 8 x 10" oil. The other piece I submitted was "Afterglow" and it was not accepted for the show but will appear in the printed catalog. The show is at the Jack Richeson School of Art & Gallery in Kimberly, WI. It will also be online.

Art Show at the Dog Show

I got notification today that three of the four pieces I submitted to the Art Show at the Dog Show in Wichita KS have been accepted. Here are the three they liked...

Whippet and Wallpaper is mixed media, watercolor, ink and gold paint. The Antique Chair is watercolor and Proud Sheltie is oil.

I have been spending a lot of time painting as usual and have completed several new things. One so far for the upcoming Canine Art Guild online exhibition, a few new breeds for prints, and a couple more oils of whippets for the upcoming Whippet National Specialty where i will have a booth. They are also having an Art Show there so I have to decide what to put in that!!

Our weather here in NC can't decide what it wants to do, one day cold, one day warm but I guess we are in for a couple real cold ones the next couple days. We have had one significant snowfall this year. At my house it was 6" and it sure was pretty but didn't stick around long. Of course I am not complaining about that at all.
