Posey Commission

When I was at the Jane Lew Craft Show this Labor Day, I met a lady that wanted all three of her chihuahua's painted for her husbands Christmas present. They were fun to paint.

"Gus and Penny"

"Gus and Penny" 18 x 24 pastel on sanded paper.

This painting was purchased by Bo and Lindsey Dolan. They attended the annual Gala benefiting Tamarack and purchased a certificate I had donated to the silent auction. Gus and Penny are their beautiful dogs.

"Blaze" 16 x 20 pastel on sanded paper. Blaze is a beautiful Border Collie owned by a friend of mine.

I met a lot of wonderful folks at this show. It's a small world too. The folks that had the booth across from me were from the Huntington area, but the wife was originally from San Antonio, Texas. We just relocated from Texas to WV in 2006. After a nice afternoon we found we had a lot in common. The weather was lousy the weekend of the show, but still had a good time. Completed four paintings, worked hard.

Demonstration at Tamarack

Each year my friend Pamela and I have demonstrated our craft at Tamarack in Beckley, West Virginia. This last November we were there for three days and had a great time. We met a couple from Canada and spent dinner and breakfast with. I also painted their pet "Daisy" that weekend. I continue to use pastels as my main medium but with be dabbling again with my oils and maybe even work on some watercolor. Stay tuned. In the meantime, here are some paintings that I completed while at Tamarack.
