Im thinking this will my my next painting. I have been so discombobulated with selling our house and finding a new place, blablabla, that I havent been painting. I have been drawing in my sketch book at least. And will be starting a new class at the Rec. Dept. next week so... Im off and running. Lets hope.

I have configured a new web page and it should be up and running soon. Check it out www.artdogstudio.net.  and like my facebook page at same address (artdogstudio). Im trying to get media savvy!?! We shall see, so help me on the journey with likes and or suggestions. thanks Jolene

It is fall... all the pumpkins are out in force. What a cute idea to impale pumpkins to make a totem. The only thing is I added up the pumpkins and it was about 80.00.... not that cute. Maybe next year I will grow my own, Happy Halloween everyone.

Designed this funny golfer for my old golf club. I didn't take a picture of the finished one of course, just the ruff drawing. Colored one would have been nice. sorry. They do a tournament every year. I could have played but... Im in limbo about moving to Hawaii. I wish the universe would hurry up, Im not very patient. I really should paint. I read an excellent quote? posted by Robert Genn. clicks.robertgenn.com about the "so what" paintings. Read it if you need a jump on upping your painting creativity? motivation? It was very good.Ok enough rambling. off to PAINT?

I have been drawing at our temp. home. Our friends have hummer feeder, named the hummer Stella, although she has lots of friends. I am drawing there cat Kati and dog Honey too. They are good models.

My life in the fast lane.. sold home, homeless, living with friends by the beach for now, not bad...

This is the project I have been working on lately. Mostly Im keeping the house clean, because it is on the market and you never know when a realtor is going to come through. These little mermaids and cloths pin angles are fun, but very tedious to make, little fingers would help, and oh those glue guns are HOT. But there hair and faces crack me up. Im giving them titles like the that cookie had no calories Angle, Yes he will do the dishes Angle, and funny things like that. I think I will work on them today some and see if any more funny names come to me.

I have been trying to

find the right silhouette

for my Hula Girl! It is driving

me a little insane. I get way to

detail oriented, I really want

it much more?? abstract? loose?

not really cartoony but...
