September 2017 ....

started with the Brandywine Arts Festival, in Wilmington, Delaware. The weather was perfect, my exhibiting space was great and beautiful dogs were walking their owners, everywhere!

(Hard to believe that Holiday commissions were being booked on this warm beautiful September weekend!)

Adirondack Commission

A Fun Adirondack Commission....

I'd like you to meet 12 year old Eli, a very happy Black Labrador from New York. Eli's commission was a gift from my client to her husband.

I took the photo as a reference to paint the portrait, on the right. I

actually got to give this sweetie a hug!

Plantation Fields International

September 14th - 17th

There were beautiful horses, hug-able dogs and wonderful people... including Kristin Mikula. Kristin, an India Hicks Style Ambassador, commissioned me to paint

Banger the Dachshund, for lifestyle brand founder and creative director, India Hicks.

The portrait was completed just in time for India's 50th Birthday celebration in NYC

A rough reference Photo for sure! Taken from a page in the India Hicks Catalog- Custom Portrait "Banger"-

Fairhill International PFL & HorseTrials

October 14th & 15th Paws for Life

This was really fun - I held a raffle.

Over 200 emails were entered into my fishbowl for the prize of a 6x6" custom pet portrait of their pet. The drawing was held on Sunday Oct.15th. The winning email belongs to Therese S., a wonderful teacher for the blind and special ed and biology in Baltimore Md!
