Green Dog Paintings

For a few years I was into painting dog faces. I probably painted 20 or 30 pictures, giving many away and hanging others in my home. Sometimes I painted a friend's dog and sometimes I chose the dog from a magazine or calendar photo. Here are a couple examples.

Sammy's Deck View

Today I was out for a dog walk when I passed a house with a new deck railing. I had noticed before that there were a couple of spots at the corners left intentionally empty of railing, like little windows, for the dog, of course. I decided to return after walking my little Cindy to see if I could take a few photos of the house dog at this residence making use of the deck view. Sure enough, Kimberlee was still working on painting the railing, and she helped me to encourage Sammy (an 11-year-old Ridgeback X) to look out of the corner deck doggy "windows" created specially for him. He looked soooooo cute lookin' around the neighborhood out of his custom made viewspots. See for yourself . . .
