Handful

If any of you have been to Pepper Place Market in Birmingham, you're familiar with the beautiful and BIG sunflowers that are for sale by some of the area farmers. I snapped a picture of this girl last year with her bouquet but hadn't painted it before now. It's on a 5x7 board.

"Struttin'"

There's nothing like the confidence of a small dog. This one was was definitely struttin'! We had a corgi growing up, and he exuded the same confidence on those six inch legs when he was around other dogs.
I promise to add some paintings of subjects other than dogs in the next few posts. These have just been really fun to paint.

"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!

"Give Me a Minute!"

Couldn't resist the expression on this dog's face - a mix of exhaustion and enthusiasm (but mostly exhaustion!)

I want to thank everyone who has visited and/or commented on my artwork. It's a lot of fun to see what other people think of your work. And just so everyone doesn't think I'm only painting dogs, I'll add a few of the other small paintings. This one is a 5"x7" called "An Apple a Day."

"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.
