Joy has been painting with me at The Studio for a long time. She loves her painting sessions and tells me that she paints to make others happy. She almost always is painting something for a family member or friend. Her portrait of Lily is for her niece. I’m sure that Lily’s mom will be thrilled with this gift. Keep painting Joy!

Reference Photo
I just completed this commission that was mailed off to Pennsylvania this week. The person ordering the work had a very specific composition in mind for this pet portrait, as you can see here. For me, it looks like the dog is photo bombing the landscape scene. 🙂

As promised yesterday I am going to tell you about our Sunday dog visitor. I was in the cabin reading and looked out 
the window to check on the boys barking and I see a tail sticking up from the bank of the pond. And I think that dang Lincoln is in the water again after I just bathed him!!! But then I realize that Lincoln and Jed are both standing on the bank and the tail is still sticking up and that is what they are barking at. Turns out to be a cute little chocolate lab puppy. She had on a collar and a tag but no name, just a rabies tag.
So I go in the cabin to try to call the Sheriff’s Department in Moorefield to see if they can look up the name of the owner when I hear voices outside. I think, Aha! the owner is here. But it was a neighbor from on the hill. Luckily, he recognized the dog and knew who it belonged to. She had come from the other end of the farm, about a mile and a half away. He took her back to her home but not before Lincoln and Jed got to sniff and run and play with her for a while.

Really! Anyone who has ever had one wants another. They are just the sweetest dogs ever.
The Yellow Lab is a sweet pup I took a photo of at the shop a few years ago. And the Black Lab is my Jed. Both are acrylic paintings on canvas measuring 12″x12″. They are on display at the “Bark for the Park” Art Show and Sale at the Warren County Community Center, 538 Villa Avenue, Front Royal. Stop by and see it.

Everyone loves a Lab. What’s not to love??? This Yellow Lab is a watercolor on paper. It is matted and framed and available for $195. This painting is currently on display at my show at Philip Carter Winery in Hume. That show will be on display until January.
