Mastiffs are HUGE! I love it when someone comes into the shop with big dogs that I can’t take picture of. These mastiffs are part of the “Bark for the Park” series. Both are acrylic on 12″x12″ canvas. The one of the left is an English Mastiff and the one of the left is a Neapolitan.
The Neapolitan is the granddog of my friend Joan Kaye from Woodward House B&B. She and her son were walking him one hot summer day down on Main Street and I got them to stop long enough for me to give him a bowl of water and take several photos. What a handsome guy!
I just love the way he looks!

Very soon I will be asking for you all to help us as we move into the final phase of the dog park project. We need to raise money! Surprise, surprise. The good news is that everything is in place and we should have a park by the end of the year.
This watercolor painting is one I did several years ago when we kicked off the Dog Park project. I will be painting more dogs shortly for a show that will feature dogs and help draw attention to the project. Please stay tuned and if you can help we would really appreciate it.

The Wednesday Young Artist class painted a wonderful landscape of mountains with low hanging clouds. This was a free-form lesson where they followed along as I painted. Can you imagine they did this in only an hour? I’m not sure if they are just great artists or if I’m a good teacher! 🙂
And here is Shelly…one of my students from the Wednesday Adult class. Shelly has been painting with me for a couple of years now and does an excellent job. But she is always giving the kids a hard time when I take their pictures for the blog. She tells them that I never take photos of her to post. Well here she is….hard at work. (And just to set the record straight, Shelly has had her photo on the blog before. Click here to see her: https://lifeofadailypainter.com/2010/09/20/caution-artists-at-work/

I started this painting of Jed last Wednesday night in Adult Art Class. I used a photo by Sandra Patterson as my reference photo. I just love this look.
This is the beginning.
The next night at the Thursday class I had a few more minutes to work on it.
Last night while I waited for a couple of new students for a private lesson I took a few minutes to work on Jed again.
I may decide to tweak a few things after it dries a little but for the most part he’s done. Jed is an oil on canvas panel measuring 8″x10″. He’s not for sale. 🙂 He will go on my wall at home joining portraits of Truman, Jeffie, Boo and Rosie. Next I’ll have to work on Lincoln.
