Since two 40×30 inch koi paintings just sold in a row, it was time to replenish my stock. This is a good start. Then I need to make more 8×8 abstractions for a summer show at the Beth Urdang Gallery in Boston. They make a wonderful grid. 12 in the works so far. Need to get as many done as possible before we begin traveling again starting in late May.
Ice in Hong Kong
All ready to ship this portrait of Silver Ice to her owner in Hong Kong.
I never had the opportunity to meet this beautiful animal when I
visited Hong Kong for a few days over Xmas.
Fortunately her owner provided me with lots of photographs that gave me a
sense of the gentle elegance of this sweet dog.
Here is what the owner said after seeing the finished portrait image
via email last night:
“This is amazing… You did a really great job. I can’t express my gratitude
in words. In your painting Ice is so cute and beautiful.”
Ozzie and Lucas dog portrait
Not the best photo yet, nor is the painting quite finished, but in the interest of making my February blog deadline, here it is.
11×14 inches, oil on canvas.
These are the sweetist dogs, rescues both. My fellow artists and dear
friends are the owners. I was a bit nervous at the start because they are
both artists – RISDI grads- so I felt the need to really ‘up’ my game.
They are thrilled with the outcome. I’m really the one who’s thrilled.
Here’s what they said:
Per: Bow-WOW
I’m impressed with how you have captured the Boys’ likenesses!
Ana:
THAT IS OZ !!!!!!!!!! you are the best !
WOW YOU ARE GOOOOOOOD!THAT’S MY LUCAS!!!!!!!!
Linda again : I think this is one of my best on many levels 🙂
Ahhhh January
Squeezing in a post before February arrives tomorrow.
Omg, so so cold in Boston!
2 degrees low, 18 high today.
actual temps, sans windchill.
Back from long holiday celebration December 10th – January 21st
6 weeks total.
longest I’ve ever had.
All Asia – China, Thailand, Cambodia.
Diverse climates:

Did I remember to post something in December?
Hope so, will have to check.
(hurrah, I did)
New Year’s resolutions?
Nope.
At least never on New Year’s.
Maybe I’ll make some on April 1st –

Am thinking of writing a newsletter.
