Buddy is a hound and is just a wonderfully calm dog. He likes all the other dogs, likes to play but is a rather serious dog too.

Thonka and BJ

Thonka and BJ are house mates along with Tilly. 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.

Buddy

Buddy passed on this summer and he is very missed by his family and myself. 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.

Beau

This is Beau, he is a very sweet dog and is a rescue by one of my clients. Until recently he lived alone with his family but now he has a schnauser pal to be friends with.

Lizzy

This is Lizzy. 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.

Elvis

This is Elvis. 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.

Brumby

Well, I started again on my yearly dog portraits for my kennel clients so I hope to be able to keep more on schedule of one a day until I am finished. I have about the same amount to do this year, about 40 to 50.
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.

Toby P

Toby has been coming for several years and is another of my privileged dogs and stays in the house. 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.
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!!!

Toby Thompson

This is Toby Thompson. 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.

Titus

This is Titus, the Italian greyhound. 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!!

Tinka

Tinka is a lovely little long hair doxie. 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.

Tia

Tia has been coming here for several years now and has "house priveleges" so she gets to be in the house with my dogs instead of the kennel. She is a really sweet little Yorkie with the longest coat! Very cute!

Silver

This is Silver, a small Havanese. He is just the cutest thing and he bares his teeth and smiles!! Very sweet and quiet dog.

Saiorse and Aiyana

I painted these two resin casts for one of my clients. 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.


Scooter

Scooter has been coming on and off for about three years or more. 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.

Sadie

Sadie is a yorkie cross pup and is just a bit shy but lots of fun. She had a great time here this summer and hopefully will be back.

Samson

This is Samson. 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.

Roscoe

Roscoe is a Beagle, only about four years old so he has lots of energy. 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.
