I just finished a new 14" x 11" acrylic on canvas painting of a French Bulldog rolling in autumn leaves. The first 10 people who donate $100 to French Bulldog Rescue will each receive one of the first 10 signed and numbered art prints. The original painting is also for sale on my Etsy shop

Recent Paintings


I donated this new 11" x 14" acrylic on canvas painting to the organizers of Puppymill Awareness Day for a fundraiser auction. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do not buy puppies from pet stores. The puppymill industry is horrendous, and there are thousands of good dogs in shelters available for adoption. Please support Puppymill Awareness Day, happening September 19th in PA.


This new 14" x 11" acrylic on canvas painting was donated as a fundraiser item for a Luv-A-Chin Rescue raffle drawing in mid-October.

Vinny and Frank

My awesome neighbors Danielle and Tim have 2 funny Italian greyhounds named Vinny and Frank. Last year I whipped up fun 8" x 10"s of the boys chasing tennis balls past the ancient, weird chain link fence bordering our backyard.

Vinny:



and Frank (he folds his ears up into weird rose-like shapes):



I included the boys in the portrait I gave Tim and Danielle for their wedding last month, too:

 

Wally

I just found 3 images on the computer from the mid-late 90s----my family's 2nd dog was a horribly abused little mutt from a crackhouse that my parents adopted. He had awful eye and ear infections from the broken piece of chain link fence stuck in his face when he arrived at the animal shelter. I re-named him Wally, and my sister and I brought him home on the long train ride to Haverhill with him snuggled up in my winter coat. At the time he was malnourished and had been shaved....he reminded me of the sad Christmas tree Charle Brown picked, but Wally grew his hair back, gained weight, and had a good life with my parents and sister.

I gave 5" x 7" acrylic paintings of him as Christmas gifts to my family one year. He loved playing with my dad in the living room:


He made horrible monster faces at my sister when she'd pretend to try to steal his toy:


and he loved sitting with my mom while she read:


Wally was a good little guy (though Cesar Milan would've pulled his hair out at the way Wally ruled the house),but he lived a short life due to chronic health problems, unfortunately. Rest in peace, little Wally.
