"Ain't no cure for the summer time blues"

Happy New Years! Can we get the groundhog out and get on with

the business of spring now please?

This is a photo of my dog Max retrieving a stick this past summer. 

I like the contrast of his golden fur against the blue/green colours

in the water. My family spends a lot of time along the Kootenay River 

with our dog each summer. I figure if I can't be on a warm beach

right now, I will at least paint a scene from one. Cheers!

 

 

MY  BUDDY  MAX

This is a picture of me and my dear buddy
Max. He is a 10 year old Golden Retriever.
He is my constant companion, especially
when I am painting. In this photo I am adding
detail to a painting of Max while he is asleep
at my front door. I am excited to finish this
painting and share it with all of you.

 

PAINTING WORKSHOP WITH TERRY ISAAC

On October 12, 13 & 14, 2012, I was fortunate to attend an advanced workshop in Penticton, B.C. with Terry Isaac. He is a wonderful instructor and I thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. These are photos of a painting that I began and worked on while at Terry's Gallery. The reference is a photo of my golden retreiver, Max.
