puttin on the dog

I started on these dogs tonight...there are 3 of them

in the photo. They all belong to sisters and a mom. I

have drawn some of them before. This drawing is a

gift for somebody in their human family. I am trying to hurry

and get it done; I still have some more to do!~ and

Christmas is anything but "slow" these days.

Here's Looking at You, Kid

I have managed to work on this drawing a little

more this weekend. The other dog's eye can be

seen right at the edge...kinda scary! Anyway, this

is the third drawing for this client, and I know she

is anxious to get them all, so I will try to finish it

tonight.

I haven't had any guesses for the November

give-away. If you email me or leave me a comment,

I may give you a clue!

"Sugar"

This is "Sugar". I believe this drawing is going to be a
Christmas gift, and will be special because "Sugar" is no
longer with the family. My daughter and son in law just
got a boxer puppy, and I have always heard that they are
very good dogs. "Sugar" looks like she was very loved,
and was very sweet. I hope the drawing will be a treasured
keepsake.

Dog Day Monday

It is time to start on all the commissions I have to do before

Christmas for lots of clients. This one has to be finished by

November 10th, so it is the first one out of the gate. Her

beautiful expression makes me smile as I am studying her

features and trying to capture them on the paper.

I mentioned that I was waiting on some supplies. I get most

of what I use online at Cheap Joe's. I have used them for

years, and they have great service and reasonable prices. If

you are an artist and need something delivered to your door,

they are a great way to go. They also offer many workshops

in all kinds of media at their facility in North Carolina (I think).

Look them up if you are interested. www.cheapjoes.com
