Puppy Hat

Morgan, my niece, loves to wear hats almost as much as I do. I sent her several recently but while she was visiting this weekend I made this one for her. It’s her puppy hat!

She even let Lincoln try on one of her hats. He was not impressed.

Remembering Rosie

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, tagged daily painting, Dogs, Virginia Artist on December 13, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Two years ago this weekend we lost our little Rosie. She was a wonderful little girl who came to us at the age of seven from a life at a puppy mill. It took her a little while to learn to trust us but once she did she was the perfect little companion. SO sweet, SO cute, SO loving….. We miss our little Rosie Posie Puddin’ and Pie and think of her often.

She was such a princess that she had two vehicles.

We love and miss you Rosie!

Jed and Lincoln in Hunter Orange

As I posted a few weeks ago, click here to see more, I have been working on Hunter Orange sweaters for my boys to wear when we go to the cabin during hunting season. They love to run and play and I want to be sure they are well seen.

Here they are modeling their new looks.

And here they are arguing over who wears it the best!

And Lincoln with an expression on his face like “Why me?”

Jed’s Gift

Posted in Dogs, tagged daily painter, Dogs, Paint Out, Virginia Artist on October 20, 2010| 2 Comments »

One of the “joys” of painting on location when you take Jed and Lincoln is that you often are presented with gifts!

Here is Jed bringing a “gift” to us while we were working.

Here is a close-up of the “gift” – a deer skull with some hair still attached! YUCK!!!

After accepting the “gift”, I placed it on top of the Explorer while we finished painting so that Jed and Lincoln wouldn’t fight over it and gnaw on it the rest of the morning. Did I say YUCK???!!!!

Lincoln got bored with waiting for me to take it down off the top of the truck and give it back.

So he kept jumping into the back of Susan’s vehicle every time the door opened. He loved spending time with Faith and Harley. I’m not sure Harley was as enthusiastic about Lincoln being in his space.

Sweaters for the Boys

Posted in Crochet, Dogs, tagged Crochet, daily painter, dog sweater, Dogs, sweater, Virginia Artist on October 12, 2010| 2 Comments »

I have been working on sweaters for the boys to wear out at the cabin during hunting season. I worry about them running loose there with all the hunters around. Last year I put an orange t-shirt on Jed thinking that would work and he came back about 30 minutes later without it. I never did find that shirt.

So this year I am making crocheted sweaters that fit tight enough that they can’t pull them off. Here is Lincoln modeling his Hunter Orange sweater.

And here is Jed in a teal one that I made first as a prototype. I had to play with the pattern to make it fit my long and low dogs. Now on to make an orange one for Jedder Bean! (Although he looks so handsome in Teal!)

Too Tired

Too tired after the Festival to do anything. I’ll take photos of the paintings I worked on and get those on the blog tomorrow.

This is Lincoln’s favorite sleep position. We were napping….or trying to. 🙂

Lincoln and his Fish

Posted in Dogs, tagged daily painting, Dogs, farm animals, fish, Koi, pond, West Virginia on October 4, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Lincoln continues to be fascinated by the large Koi fish in the pond at the cabin. He wades into the water and watches them….and they watch him.

If I am ever unsure of where he’s run off to, I can take a look down in the water and he is often sitting there watching his fish.

A Trip to Sally’s

Posted in Dogs, tagged daily painter, Dogs, farm animals, Rescue dogs, Shenandoah Valley, Travel, Virginia Artist on September 21, 2010| Leave a Comment »

We spent the weekend at our friends Sally and Bob’s farm in Southern Virginia. And the dogs were in heaven. Counting Jed and Lincoln there were 11!

All of Sally’s dogs are rescues, bless her heart! And the latest is Jack. He’s the smallest guy she’s ever had and she is besotted with him and his underbite.

Jed and Lincoln played in the water, walked, ran and played for two straight days and now they are exhausted. Yeah!
