Last Week for Ashland Community Hospital Animal Art – Inspired Pet Portraits and Animal Paintings by Dana Feagin
It will feel a bit sad to take these Sanctuary One paintings, and the Doxie painting, down from the main reception and waiting area at Ashland Community Hospital next week. My husband works at the hospital and walks past them several times a day, so I hear that there are often small kids with their parents looking at the sweet animal faces and commenting on them. The paintings will be split up and move back to my home studio, the Ashland Art Center, and to Starbucks on the south side of Ashland in early June. Greeting cards and magnets with these images will still be available at the hospital upstairs in the outpatient waiting area.
“Flower Girl”, New Painting by Dana Feagin – Inspired Pet Portraits and Animal Paintings in Oil
After a bit of a mishap with the yellow background paint, this one is finally finished today – just waiting for the paint to dry so it can be imaged. The painting is based on a beautiful photo taken at a friend’s wedding by Justine Johnson Photograph. Thank you Cathy Connor and Justine Johnson, for allowing me to use this photo as a reference for my painting! Initially I wasn’t planning to include the flowers around Sophie’s neck, but an artist friend encouraged me. At times I though it would take longer to get the flowers looking right, than the overall painting of Sophie – but in the end, I am happy with the result. This one is titled “Flower Girl” and will be entered into the Irving Arts Assocation Fine Art Pet Portrait competition in September. Wish me luck!
“It’s A Dog’s Life” Canine Art Guild 17th Online Show – Inspired Pet Portraits & Animal Paintings by Dana Feagin
I made the deadline this go around, for the next online Canine Art Guild Show – “It’s A Dog’s Life”. Take a peek at the wonderful dog art – and vote for the people’s choice award! Included in the mix are my paintings of Bob (Big ‘ol Boy) – It Wasn’t Me – pictured below, Fleur de Lab (which is looking oddly dark online, even though he is a black lab), and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel – Roxy Heart. Here is the link to the show: http://www.canineartguild.com/gallery/
What??? Travels to Wings, Tails and Scales in Ohio – Inspired Pet Portraits and Animal Paintings by Dana Feagin
My funny oil painting of a surprised-looking goldfish is making it’s way to the Greater Columbus Convention Center. It is part of the Wings, Tales and Scales art show and sale at the Midwest Veterinary Conference. The show runs Thursday, February 21st to Saturday, February 23rd from 7AM to 6PM, and a portion of the art sales benefit the Ohio Animal Health Foundation, a non-profit organization affiliated with the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association. In addition, my usual 10% donation to Sanctuary One will be made even if this one sells at the show. Here is a link to the event: http://www.mvcinfo.org/events/artshow.html
