Kylie Finish & Show News

Here is the finish for Kylie.  If you check back to the last post you will not see big changes in the painting but  you will see a few.  I lightened the background slightly and made Kylie's muzzle just a little thicker and added some highlights to her coat.  These changes enhanced Kylie's likeness.  The painting is a surprise for Jim,  Kylie's owner and the unveiling is tomorrow.  Let's hope it has been, "A Painting Day" to remember.

I received word today that two of my landscape paintings will be showing at the coming Yellowstone Art Musuem's 43rd Annual Art Auction.  The opening art reception will January 27, 2011 at the Museum.

Kylie

This is a work in progress of a good dog friend, Kylie.  She is a sweet Australian Shepherd and is owned by Jim Ginney, my good friend and painting framer.  Kylie is the official studio greeter and it is such fun to see her on my many runs to the framing studio.  I still have to add a few changes to Kylie's portrait but the likeness is there so I am pretty happy with the painting for now.  I will be adding the final changes in a day or two.  Meeting the sweet Kylie has made for, "A Painting Day".
