Four Big Dogs!

Here is a 30"x30" painting that I'm doing for a client in Virginia. It's about done -- I just need to find out if he wants me to tweak anything. The pictures weren't the greatest to work from, in fact the chocolate lab photo was the hardest to see. Anyway, are they cute?? What a nice family!

Well I have an Italian Greyhound to finish this weekend and then I'm done with commissions until after Christmas. So I'll be taking a break again next week! Have to get some shopping done... Thanks for looking!

White Georgia Bulldog with UGA Arch

Here is a HUGE commission that I just finished. It's a 36"x36" oil painting and it took me nearly 3 weeks (on and off between dry times) to complete! It's throwing a glare, so some of the detail isn't evident from this photo. I can't wait to hear how the client likes it.

Now I'm off to finish another large painting -- a 30x30 painting of a family of dogs -- 3 labs and a another bulldog! Tooodles for now...

Tess and Jambo, German Shepherd/Bisenji Mix

This is a commission I just completed for a local Atlantan. It's for his mother for Christmas. I hope she likes it! It's on 20x24 pre-stretched canvas.

Today I'm going to finish a large bulldog -36x36 -in oil. It's also a commission for a local Atlantan and he will be giving it to his girlfriend. I'll post it tomorrow!! Thanks for looking and if you are interested in getting a portrait done, check my website at www.carolscanvas.com.

German Sheperd Out West

Well it's slow going for me... Still trying to get over this flu and I'm SO TIRED! The coughing is keeping me up at night and so it's a real drag! I have so much to do this week with paintings!

Here is a german shepherd dog with an ocean-meets-desert landscape. I love the winding road. I think I'll do more with winding roads. He's on 16x20 stretched canvas. He's $150 if you are interested! Just contact me!

Tuesday's Painting: "Mel Wonders, 'What's for Dinner?'"

This is today's painting. It's a 16x20 canvas, gallery-wrapped on stretched canvas. I have it packed away for the Tucson Museum of Art show. I have to take two boxes of paintings to Fedex today and ship them. Pray that they make it on time and undamaged!!

If you are interested in this painting, let me know and I'll set it aside for you. It's $150 plus shipping. Thanks for looking!

Monday's Painting: "Pepper Dreams of Swimming and Balls"

Today's painting is an 18x18 painting of a black lab. I set "Pepper" in front of some greenery with some yellow flowers. Pepper will be coming with me to the Tucson Museum of Art show, unless someone wants to save me the hassle of shipping! If you want to purchase, just contact me and I'll send you an invoice through Paypal. He's just $175 plus shipping! Thanks for looking!

Thursday's Painting: "Waiting for Love-- Boston Terrier"

This sweet little puppy is waiting for someone to adopt him. He happens to be sitting in an artsy sort of garden with flowers and a funky-colored stone wall. This is one I just felt like doing -- and it was so much fun. I love the way this turned out and it will be displayed proudly in my hallway until the right owner comes along.

Monday's Painting: "Woofer Weimheimer, Weimaraner Dog in Flowers"

I couldn't wait to post this painting. I love the way this one turned out! This is a weimaraner puppy in a field of purple and lavender flowers. This is the second in my "Dogs in Flowers" series. I'm going to paint a black lab in flowers next. I have so many things I want to paint!! Where will I get the time!!??

Woofer was painted in acrylics on gallery-wrapped, pre-stretched canvas. It's 18x18 and the sides have been painted so a frame is not necessary. If you are interested in this painting, you can buy it by clicking here. Thanks for looking!

Wednesday's Painting: "Zoe, Boston Terrier"

Well I was down and out with a migraine yesterday, so no painting for me! I hate that I get them and they just slam me out of commission! Speaking of commissions, the painting above is a commission of a little dog from Arkansas, named Zoe. She's a sick little puppy, but the adoring mommy is hoping and praying that she will make it until the end of the year.

Right now I'm working on 4 commissions and then one of my own -- a weimaraner in a field of flowers. Hopefully I'll have one of them finished tomorrow so that I can post it. Thanks for looking!

Saturday's Painting: "Pugs with Purple!"

I love pugs and this is a commission that I finished yesterday. It's 16x20 and I used a very purple background, which didn't show up so well when I took the picture... Aren't they cute?? I do hope the client likes it!

I was at the Atlanta Animal Alliance Dog/Walk Run today. It was cold and windy, but it was a good time. I had a vendor booth and showed this painting and several others. Lots on interest in pet portraits and I took a lot of pictures of dogs!

Friday's Painting: "Lucky, My Black Lab Girl"

Well today was a dud of a day for me. I woke up with a crappy migraine and had to take my meds and go back to bed. Didn't get back up until after 10 and then just dazed about the house until noon. So I decided not to start the work-in-progress posts until next week.

Here is a painting of my tubby dog, Lucky, set against a bright orange background. I think I'll put this one on eBay, but it won't go up for auction until Saturday. So I'll link to it then! Thanks for looking! Oh, it's on 12"x12" pre-stretched canvas, side painted black.
