Dog Art Today

  • Boxer Gifts

    Boxers rank number 7 as the most popular dog breed in the U.S. My mother grew up with a Boxer named Lance. Legend has it that Lance bonded immediately with my father when he came calling and helped pave the way for their courtship. I have always had a fondness for Boxers. Since, in a way, Lance paved the way for me (and my sisters) too.

    Boxers_la

    Brother and sister Boxers, Hansel and Gretel, by L.A. photographer Sabrina Helas. I am a huge fan of her sun-drenched style. Give the gift of a session with her, and turn a pet into a work of 21st century art.

  • In Memory of Abby

    Back in March, when I started this blog, artist Linda O’Neill was the first person to email me encouraging words. It meant a lot. I visited her Abby Creek Studios online and learned she was talented pet painter and the owner of a gorgeous rescue dog named Abby. Since then, I’ve featured her on my site and she’s become a faithful reader and welcome commenter. This meant more than a lot. I was remiss in not reciprocating. Then, yesterday, I visited her blog and learned of Abby’s passing. She had been ailing and then, it was time to say good-bye.

    Linda, I am so sorry for your loss and I am inspired by your ability to start painting again while your heart is heavy. I love the Abby artwork you share with your readers on your blog, and I’m posting some pieces here in honor of your beloved dog…your muse and your friend.
