I am taking a short break away but it’s hard to go without painting when you are accustomed to painting every day so I am working on a large painting of the local marsh view. It’s nice to change up the subject matter from the mountains, vineyards, and baseball parks I have been painting the last several months. I hope to finish it today so I can share the finished painting tomorrow.

Jacob and The Castle
As the gift giving season quickly approaches don’t forget that giving the gift of art is a great idea….and especially if you give a gift certificate for lessons or classes so that the recipient can learn to create their own art! Just contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com to purchase a gift certificate.
This week Jacob asked his mom to schedule an art lesson on Wednesday since we had no class scheduled this week for the holiday. He didn’t want to give up his art for the week so he had a private lesson. Then he asked if he could paint a castle! Of course he can! Great job Jacob.

Jace reference photo (left) and painting (right)
As you know I love dogs. And I love it when my friends post photos of their dogs on their Facebook pages. A few months ago some friends from back home in Georgia got a new puppy that is just adorable and they posted terrific pics of her. They were kind enough to give me permission to paint from their photos. This is Jace…a super cute lab pup that loves the beach. What a cutie. This painting is called Jace and is 8″x6″, acrylic on canvas and is available for $120 framed.
