8x10 oil on canvas soldThank you for your recent comments and e-mails it truly means a lot to me. I try to visit as many of your blogs as I can, but I seem to always run short on time.
I had to go out of town unexpectedly this week and am just getting back to viewing all of your paintings and catching up on a pile of e-mails and other business. I spent 8 hours in the car today with 4 of those hours viewing the most beautiful rural landscapes. Most of my day was spent painting in my head while I watched the changing landscapes right before me. Next Saturday is our first Spring plein air day and I feel ready to begin painting landscapes again.
This is Grace, hunting dog extraordinaire. She is such an awesome family dog, that Grace was given the nickname Amazing Grace. Grace's portrait was a birthday present for her owner and his favorite color in the whole wide world is orange. I don't think of orange as a typical favorite color and I have to admit I could not wrap my head around orange as a background color for Grace's portrait. I was pleasantly surprised at how happy orange is and I, and my client, both liked the final results. Thank you again for visiting, take care!

Angela, your painting appeared on my blog list tonight and brought a smile to my face. I just love all your pet portraits but I think this one is my favorite! The orange background looks great too.
Angela, Grace is beautiful!! That orange backdrop works so beautifully with her coloring. Her expression is truly 'amazing' too. I also paint in my head!
How can one not smile when they see Grace! Wonderful job capturing that "Amazing" personality Angela. I'm looking forward to seeing the work that results from your recent trip!

Hi Angela - perfect color for this cute pooch! What a nice job you did on the coat and the expression is priceless!
How do you always manage to elicit the most joyous "smiles" from your furry models? Grace is just delightful. Just has to smile when I saw her. I like the way you kept your palette in the happy gold and red family. So fitting for a pet this full of life!
Lovely portrait Angela, really happy dog!
