The come all three or one or two at a time. This year I only had Thonka and BJ. Thonka is a Tibetan spaniel and knows she is royalty, she is quite serious and quiet. BJ is the life of the party. He is just like all little doxys, full of fun and mischief. They are both great little dogs in their own right.<br />

He was a lovely sweet yellow lab who loved all the other dogs and loved being out with the chickens. He always came with his house mate Maggie. This is a 5 X 7 portrait of Buddy.<br />

She is still a pup and is Elvis little playmate. When I say little, I mean little. She is a tiny yorkie but full of spice and vinegar. She doesn't take any stuff from anyone. Very very cute and Elvis loves her.<br />

He is such an active dog but full of fun. You don't dare throw a ball for him or he will pester you forever until you throw it again. He is really fun and I am sure is a great kids dog. I still have to do one of his little playmate but she was new this year and I forgot to include her in his painting.<br />

I have about the same amount to do this year, about 40 to 50.<br />
This is Brumby which most of you will recognize. He is a sweet cattle dog, slightly overweight so moves rather slow but still loves to play ball. He loves the little doggies and they are very comfortable with him. I won't put these in the folders but will put them on my blog as I have time.<br />

As a result I am quite attached to him. He is older and now suffering from liver failure but is still active and feeling good.<br />
One day when all was crazy with dogs running here and there, I noticed Toby in the middle of the yard with dogs whizzing by with his eyes closed just sitting quietly. I was just sure he was meditating to send himself somewhere else!!!<br />

He is a new pup here this year after his owners got him when they had to put down their old sweetie poodle. He is energetic, crazy and fun and is a Schnauzer.<br />

He is a great little dog, I had an IG once myself so I really enjoy him but it is sooooo hard to get a good pic of him because he just never slows down or stops long enough. Very energetic doggie and can he race around the yard!!<br />

She has been coming here for several years and is one of my dogs favorite visitors. She is sweet and playful and full of life. This is the first time I have been able to get a good likeness of her.<br />

She is a really sweet little Yorkie with the longest coat! Very cute!<br />

The black is Saiorse, a traditional scale Arabian mare and the other is Aiyana, a classic scale Arabian mare. She wanted a pure black and a pure white with pink shading so this is what I ended up with. They are both airbrushed with hand painted details.<br />

He is a huge orange tiger and he is very sweet. He loves to be in front of the window in his crate when he is here. He had to have one of the larger crates because he is so big. He doesn't mind the little dogs at all and at times will let them right into his crate.<br />

He is a small mix doggie that looks just like a miniature golden retriever. He is very sweet but doesn't do well in a crate in the kennel even though I take all the dogs out often so the last time he was here he stayed in the house. He is well mannered and does well with my dogs. Of course my dogs are used to having new dogs in the house on occasion.<br />

He was here for the first time this year and unfortunately he was here for two weeks so I am sure he thought he had been dumped off and had a new home. He had never been left before. It took a minute for him to realize that he was going home when his owners came to get him but from then on he was all excitement.<br />

She has none of the crazy characteristics of the normal Jack. She has some sort of nerve disorder and shakes constantly unless she is laying down or if you hold her. It seems sad but she is happy and runs around just like the other dogs. She is just a pleasure to take care of and her eye patches make her sooooo darn cute!<br />

This wasn't the best photo of him to show his breed but he was just having so much fun that I decided to paint it anyway. He is a West Highland Terrier and is always spotless white when he comes and always needs a bath before he goes home. I almost never have to give a dog a bath but this little rowdy guy just loves to get in the dirt. White coat and dirt make quite a mess. He is an active but loveable doggie.<br />

My class decided that they wanted to paint this and I figured I had better do it first so I could establish any pitfalls. I really didn't find any and it was a joy to paint since I don't often do landscapes. I love the clean way that Cathy paints.<br />

She is a rat terrier and is extremely hyperactive. She is a nice little dog but difficult to handle because she is so busy. She actually got on my lap the last time she was here and sat for at least 30 seconds! <br />
