"What's Up?"
I've finally decided to start a blog, posting my paintings as I get them finished. I'm not quite ready to join the ranks of other "daily painters," creating a painting every day. But I do hope to post several times a week and this will (hopefully) keep me on track to paint every day, even if I don't actually finish a painting every day!
These first several posts will be from a series I'm doing of "The Dogs of Pepper Place." For those of you not familiar with Pepper Place, it's a Saturday morning market featuring local produce, flowers, honey, cheese.... The list goes on and on. There is also an area for artists and art organizations, and Sam and I will be there under the Birmingham Art Association tent on July 3rd from 7am 'til noon. So many people bring their dogs that I decided to create a series of paintings based on photos I've taken.

I'll have to bring my dog, Emerson, so maybe he can be immortalized in beautiful Amy Collins style. :-) I really look forward to following your blog. Love these doggy paintings. I miss Myrtl (the cow) after I gave her to my sister. Don't forget, all my chickens are waiting for their portraits as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, congrats on your new blog...love your dog pieces as much as I adore your cow pieces...beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog and love the Pepper Place dogs as much as the cows (and our beloved longhorn). We're at Pepper Place every Saturday - can't wait to see you and your work.
Amy,
ReplyDeleteI have tweeted your blog on both my Twitter and PepperPlace's... hope you get lots of interest on Saturday.
Hi Amy-
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you are writing a blog. I think your dog paintings are wonderful and I look forward to seeing more!
Hope to see you soon-
Melanie
