    Late Night, Lobby by Gil Jawetz, 2008

    Baltimore artist Gil Jawetz is a finalist in the Baker Artists Awards this year.  Take a moment to support your fellow dog artist and cast your vote for him here.  Gil paints other subjects too, but my favorite is his series entitled Human(e) Beings that explores the relationship between people and their pets.  What could be more fascinating?

    Contest ends in 24 days.

    Shadow of the Dog by Gil Jawetz, 2007

    Congratulations, Baltimore-based artist Gil Jawetz, who has nine paintings in Maryland Art Place’s 23 Annual Critics’ Residency Program.  There is a reception and a forum beginning at 2pm this Saturday, August 9 that sounds interesting.  I just got this update from Gil:

    I had a chance to check out the show and it’s really cool, especially the work from Bonnie Kotula and Jessie Boyko. The forum is going to be really interesting so if you’re at all able to make it and if you are interested in hearing different perspectives on art I would strongly recommend it! It’s free to all – the more the merrier!

    Visit the Maryland Art Place for more information.

    It's not too late to bid on the chance to have Baltimore artist, Gil Jawetz, paint a portrait of your dog.  Gil has graciously donated his time and talent to Maryland SPCA Shop-A-Paw-Looza online auction.  All proceeds go to help homeless dogs and cats in the Baltimore area.

    Sounds like a win/win.  You get Gil to render your pet in his bold, energetic style and the SPCA gets much needed help for the animals as the cold starts to clamp down on the east coast.  Current bid is $295 for painting that goes for $450.  Auction runs until  October 28, 2008 9pm EDT.  Go bid!
