Saturday Super Sale

Posted in Sale, tagged , , , , , , , , , on January 12, 2013| Leave a Comment »

SAMSUNG I mentioned at the first of the year that I was making a few changes to my daily blog.  One is that I am going to try to set aside certain days for specific purposes.  Saturday is going to be for sales.  On Saturday I will offer an item or two at a discount.  As these are originals and there is only one it will go to the first person who contacts me requesting the work.  So today is the first Saturday Super Sale Day. 

Garden by the Door, oil on canvas, 11″x14″, Sale Price $50.

Furniture Side Table and Chair with Roses

 Cottage Roses Table and Chair, Sale Price $65 for the set.

Contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com ASAP to receive the Super Saturday Sale price.  Thanks!

Jed’s Day

Posted in Dogs, Pet Portaits, tagged , , , , , , , on January 7, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Jeffie EnhancedFour years ago this past week (January 5th) we made the cold trek (it was during a snow storm) to get our Jed.  He’s the sweetest boy.  So Happy Adoption Day Jed.  We’re so glad we are your people! 

Many of you know that I name my dogs using a presidential theme.  Jed was my first exception to the rule.  He is named for the fictional president, Jed Bartlett from the West Wing.  We loved that show and since he was already being called Jed and answered to it well we just went with it.

Read and see more about Jed here and see a step by step painting of Jed here!  Way to go Jedder Bean!  We love you big boy.

Thinking Outside the Lines

Coloring Book Dogs

Coloring Book Dogs

Several years ago I did this painting I call “Coloring Book Dogs” after I watched a kid at a doctors office coloring in a book there.  He was not at all concerned about the lines as he gleefully put color on every item on the page.  Each item was a different solid color with the color running outside the lines.  That made me think, “Why don’t we all color outside the lines still?  Why are we always so careful when we color/paint?” When I painted this piece with the dogs and a couple of others with other subjects (you can see them here) I had a great time.  It was fun! So this year I am going to attempt to “color outside the lines a little more”.  How about you?

Miss Paisley

SAMSUNG 149222_1516353543693_7348484_nThis is Paisley.  She is my niece, Lexie’s, dog although I suspect she is more her  mom’s dog.  I did a silhouette painting of her.  Just a quick and fun format for pets like this.  The canvas was 20″x30″ and I painted it in acrylic.

More Living With Art

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , , on December 30, 2012| 1 Comment »

SAMSUNGThis painting of Day Lilies was a birthday gift for Allen several years ago.  They are his favorite so they are a repeated theme in the art at our house.

SAMSUNGThe Day Lily appears in this smaller painting hanging in the kitchen.

I try to paint things that people like.  For instance, the day lilies for Allen and pet portraits for pet lovers and for me.  These are the things I like so it makes it easy to hang my work and enjoy it.  Difficulty in painting for me comes when I attempt to paint something I don’t particularly care about.  Then the painting becomes work and when it’s not fun, it’s really hard to do.

Jean's Snow Scene

Jean’s Snow Scene

Here is Jean with a lovely snow scene that she painted in Wednesday Night class over the last few weeks.  I wish you could see it better.  It has sweeps of snow cascading down over the tree.  It turned out great Jean.  Good job! One of the things I love about our adult classes is how everyone encourages and assists everyone else.  For this snow painting one of Jean’s classmates, Shelly, brought in some very fine sparkly glitter that Jean sprinkled over the snow fall to make it glimmer.  It was perfect.Nice, very nice.
