This is Angela, who is sadly no longer with us, but her bright spirit and dignity live on in paint. 10% of all sighthound project painting sales during this month (April, 2014), are being donated to Beverly Farmer Podencos, who rescued Angela, and so generously allowed me to paint from her photo.

My lovely girl, Train.  I'm really enjoying these black and white charcoal drawings, especially on a cold and rainy day...

Continuing with the sighthound series, this beautiful Podenco is Jazzy, who is in the care of Beverly Farmer Podencos, who very graciously let me paint from her beautiful photo. I loved the photo so much, I decided to paint this one a little larger than the previous paintings in the series. I was drawn to the warm colors and wanted to capture the feeling of the hot sun on the building and dog. I'm donating 10% of the proceeds from the sighthound series this month to Beverley Farmer Podencos. Check out the work they're doing to help these dogs in need. Here are a few close up shots:

This is my greyhound Sephiroth, his coloring lends itself surprisingly well to black and white. His amber eyes stare right into my soul, in this drawing as well as in real life..

This is Dodger, who looks very similar to my girl Train. It's so much fun to paint dogs that are brindle and white, it's like the best of both worlds.

I had a lot of fun with this little painting, the reference photo lent itself well to the imagination.

Nothing more relaxing than to spend an evening drawing. This is my lovely boy, Sephiroth. I had a mat that fit perfectly, so this drawing comes ready to frame:
