"Grand-dogs" 5x7 oil on panel

I don't have grandchildren, but I have 2 grand-dogs. Ojib and Kitty. And they are both grand dogs. I finally got a chance to paint in my studio in VT over the Thanksgiving holiday. Yes, these are gifts, and I'm counting on the fact that I don't think the kids check my blog, so I'm not linking these to Facebook. Very fun to paint the dogs. I'll do more. . .

Very fun to have time to paint. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving! Much to be thankful for.

(Sorry for the bad photos. Lots of glare obliterates detail. And I even forgot to crop them. Oh, well, out of time for now.)

"Fishin' on the Dock" 8x10 oil on panel

Garden Island across from our house. My sister and I were kayaking and I snapped this shot. Perfect summer image. Again, hard to photograph the painting and it doesn't do it justice. Feels good to be back painting after a few days off.
