"Peek-a-Boo!"

Two more dogs to post. I decided to include the owner's legs with this pup. And below, "About Face", is a young border collie. I hope some of you get a chance to stop by the Pepper Place Market tomorrow!

Thanks for all of you comments this first week of blogging!

"Look at Me!"

Here's another new dog. This one was strutting! If you're in the Birmingham area look for me at Pepper Place Market this Saturday from 7am 'til noon under the Birmingham Art Association tent. I'll have these paintings and lots more for sale down there.

"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.
