Today's Dog Art - Newfoundland

I still love painting Newfs after having lived with one for 11 years. From a distance this appears to be a black dog on black, but up close you can see that there are primary colors used for highlights and shading. This is approx. 9 x 12" on black charcoal paper.

This piece is on eBay for one day only.

Do Dogs Have a Sense of Humor?

Lewis gets to star again in this article I wrote for my hub about Dogs and Humor. There are a couple of cute anecdotes in it about him and Scorch. I did this watercolor of Lew some years back -- my folks still have it hanging in their living room. It's called, "The Joke's On You" and has been my most popular piece in the Newfie circles.

Today's Best

So I am sitting here loading some art work for note cards on Zazzle, while I work on a new watercolor. (I've learned that, with dialup, multitasking is the only way to go.) Suddenly, an email from Zazzle pops in:

Congratulations!

This means it will appear on the Zazzle homepage for the rest of today and it will also be added to the Todays Best Awards Showcase. Keep up the great work!

Bask. Glow. The honor is yours to enjoy.

This is pretty cool! "Patience" is a watercolor I did several years ago, starring Dad's beloved Newfie, Lewis. I hadn't been spending too much time loading stuff on Zazzle for the simple fact that it takes too long. Finally today I started investing the time. They sure figured out how to reward me!
