Goin' to the dogs!
I was asked if I wanted to try painting a dog portrait and I thought I'd give it a try. Actually I had a lot of fun painting this sweet Australian shepherd face and the person who commissioned it is satisfied. This will go to the owner for her birthday. This dog is recently deceased so it should be a poignant present. Her eyes remind me of my old black lab who was a joy in my life. Notice the reflections in the eyes are actually little hearts. Cutsie? Maybe but also fun.

Come join us if you can! For a preview, visit our blog: http://fireandwaterart.blogspot.com/
Maybe we'll see you there!
Here's one of mine. This one is done in pastel. It is exhibited along with Vee Gates, a new autobiographical self-portrait that I blogged a few weeks ago.

Another passing
These are my in-laws, Mary and Max Conover. They were both very dear people. Mom left this earth for heaven in June of 2007 and last week Dad got his wish and was able to join her there. They both were able to be at home until the end thanks to caring family members and Spectrum Hospice. We will miss them but we rejoice in their faith and salvation.
