30 paintings in 30 days.

Day .....(drumroll).........30!!  
I'm not sure I want to give this up! I don't think I will, actually.  
I've been tossing around the idea of painting a pet of the week painting.  Maybe...  We will see. 

This is Jax, 
A Havanese, who will soon be 13.

He enjoys traveling, and taking time to smell the flowers.

Day 29!! 30 paintings in 30 days

Day 29
A great day at the cabin.....went tobogganing, played cards, enjoyed some wine and painted a dog. 
This is Scout.  He was a beautiful, gentle soul.  I enjoyed his company years ago when I painted a baby room mural in his house.

30 paintings in 30 days.

Day 28
Wow, day 28.  I am so proud of my stick-to-itiveness........my perseverance. 

We are at our cabin and my view is so lovely.  There's a fire in the wood stove, and the chickadees and squirrels are in the bird feeders. My husband had a little visit with a couple deer and all is right with the world. 
We are enjoying a nice quiet weekend after a week of looking after our grandchildren.  (I do miss their smiling little faces though. ).  
Today's painting is their dog, Milo.  He's a 14 year old Bichon Shih Tzu cross. He is our very first Granddog, and we love to pieces.

Day 27
This little one is enjoying his/her agility run. I have received so many photos, on do baby platforms, that I can't find Wher this one came from.  I am sure someone will recognize it, though.

30 paintings in 30 days. Day 25

January 25
We are staying with our grandchildren, and two dogs and two cats, while our son and daughter in law are in the Dominican. (Lucky ducks). We are pretty lucky, too.  We love those little munchkins.   However, yesterday, they were both sick! So they stayed home from school.....we talked to their parents and they made the call, thank goodness.  As a result,  my painting ended up an after-bedtime event. 
   This is Brie,one of our  our granddogs.  We've bonded more over this last week. As a pup she would always jump in our fish pond (of course......she's a lab) upsetting the fountain and the fish. Lol. 
  She's matured and has much better manners now.  We had a fun photo session Sunday morning and she was so attentive, I got some great pictures.

30 paintings in 30 days. Day 24

Day 24
This is Charlie.  Crystal was working in Churchill, Manitoba, when she discovered Charlie in less-than idea circumstances.  She had a long train ride to her new, wonderful life!  I feel so fortunate that I get to hear the most amazing stories.
