Another for the Raining Cats & Dogs Show

Delivered my puppy paintings of our favorite guys in the house for the show that opens next week at Around the Corner Art Gallery in Montrose, CO. Was great fun painting the bright colors and personality of little Jack Russell, Levi. I was so excited that I ended up with a couple of optional entries. This one is a little 8x10 oil titled "Suspended Animation". Was tempted to call it, "Reclining Nude" for fun!

I have always lived along the Rocky Mountains throughout western Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. I am thrilled to still be able to live next to the San Juan Mountains on the western slope of Colorado where I have a wealth of beautiful imagery to choose from. When not painting, I spend time with my husband, 2 Jack Russells and enjoying my gardening and backyard wildlife. Creativity and fine arts has been a driving force in my life since childhood. I earned a Bachelors in Fine Arts from Colorado State University and since then have taken numerous workshops under professional artists including Jill Carver, Leah Gusterson and Mike Simpson.

Finished my little Heeler last night. Not sure what to name the guy. I'm hoping he doesn't look too fierce but just serious about his job on the ranch. Hopefully this will be accepted into the "Raining Cats & Dogs" show that Around the Corner Art Gallery in Montrose is hosting in August. It was a fun painting to complete, full of juicy strokes and bright colors.
