What's on the Easel Today
A Towering Cathedral, sketch on paper, 10" x 3.5".
This is the prep sketch for the canvas I'm working on, which is 30" x 10" and will go in the Red Gala auction for Maple Grove Art Center on Friday, Feb. 5th.
Tucker the Kinda-Grumpy Golden
7" x 5" pastel on paper.
I was really worried about this one. My source photo was shadowy and blurry, and when I sharpened up the shapes in it, I got this vaguely grouchy expression no matter how hard I tried not to.
Never having met a Golden who had that characteristic, I was very concerned. Could that possibly be right?
Much to my relief, the client happily informed me that yes, I'd caught Tucker's characteristic, catlike "And I should do that, why?" attitude. I wish I could've met the old fellow. I'd probably have loved him.

A Week at Chez Greyhound
I am posting from my friend's place, where I get to tend Indiana and Biscuit until Sunday evening when her humans return. Not only do I earn a little money for the dog-sitting, but I get to draw the dogs! So it's all good.
