My Newest Sanctuary One Painting “Cream”

My newest painting “Cream”; she is a former blood donor cow from a veterinary school. She retired at Sanctuary One with her friend Cookies, and is also available for adoption. With her white coat, I just had to paint her with a fun & colorful  polka dot background – I think it suits her!

Featured Artist & Exhibit of Sanctuary One Animal Paintings – Ashland Art Center, June 1 – 30, 2012

I’m the featured artist at the Ashland Art Center for the month of June, which includes a special exhibit of my Sanctuary One animal paintings. The painting I’ve posted here is of Sparky – he and his son, Junior, are available for adoption at the Sanctuary, and he was our “mascot ” for the 3rd Annual Bachelor Auction and Cinco de Mayo Celebration benefiting Sanctuary One this year! If you are in Ashland for First Friday (June 1), drop in, see the exhibit, and visit me in  Studio 3 – I’m working on a new Sanctuary One painting of a cow, with polka dots in the background – I can’t seem to get away from those 🙂  As always, there will be food, wine and live music – The Ashland Art Center was recently voted the best place to go for First Friday!

Most Recent Commissons – Annie and Yogi

These two images are my most recent commission – portraits of Annie and Yogi; we think they are a Lhasa Apso/Basset Hound mix, from the same parents , even though they were adopted from the shelter at different times. They are so sweet together and it’s so wonderful that they are now part of the same family!

Skylark Exhibit, April 26, 2012 – July 26, 2012

My most recent show through the Ashland Art Center A2B program was moved to Skylark due to the Starbucks remodel. Sixteen of my animal paintings are now hanging in the dining area for residents to enjoy every day!

New Prints At Sanctuary One, Jacksonville, OR

I visited Sanctuary One again on Thursday to change out my original paintings for framed prints. The originals will soon be on show at the Starbucks in downtown Ashland for 3 months…there has been a bit of a delay on hanging the originals due to their remodel, but they should be up by sometime next week! Here is a photo of the newly framed prints. These will soon also be listed in my Etsy store; however, if you purchase them through the sanctuary directly, you can write them a tax-deductible check for 20% of the purchase price and another check for 80% to me – so they get a 20% donation vs the 10% I usually provide them – a win-win all the way around!
