SOLD to pet mom Diana...thank you!!
Here we are at the end of my 101 Pet Portraits in 101 Days project. I want to thank EVERYONE who participated in this project with me. It was an honor to hear all the stories and get to know each and every beloved pet through painting them! I learned a lot through this process. The biggest and best thing for me is that I reaffirmed just how much I love color in my work...I do believe it will be a character in my work that I will hang on to! I also just got a little better in some areas...not so concerned about tightness, but realized that working with simpler strokes in areas is possible and looks better to me. I will continue to work with a mix of abstract and realism for the time being as I still find value in using both, so that has been strengthened. THE INSPIRATION abounds after doing all these pet kids! It leaks to my other subject matter, so on I go! Next for me is SUMMER ART MARKET which is June 13-14 at 200 Grant in Denver. Be watching for more information on that!
NOW!...On to Domino; my 101 of 101. Domino is a Dalmatian kid to my dear friend and co-grandma Diana
Grimes. Domino was the family kid actually, and quite a pet I hear;
very much loved. I find it fun that the 101 was a Dalmatian! My friend
Diana had the idea and I loved it from first mention! Domino was a
great fauvist experience even being "white"! There is green and red and
blue and purple and yellow all in this one "white" pet kid's portrait!
I used my honeycomb in this last portrait of this project to add a
little interest to the background.
Check out Domino in all her display ideas.
The easel I found at Hobby Lobby. Domino looks good in the easel as a simple idea!

I loved seeing these pets daily in my email inbox. 101 went so quickly. Thank you for your beautiful contribution to the art world.
Thank you Mary! It was an awesome experience; though a bit challenging at times...I'm so happy I did it. I learned a lot and enjoyed "knowing" all the animals. :)
