New Studio
While setting up my new studio, I attempted to channel Vera Newumman. Darby was a good sport. Now I have to get to work. I feel rusty. But excited to start making art again. Stay tuned.

Writers and Dogs and Other Creatures
Edith Wharton and her dogs
Apropos of yesterday's post about how a dog can impinge on creativity, Gilbert Alter-Gilbert has an incredibly comprehensive collection of authors and their animal muses at Will Schofield's blog, A Journey Round My Skull. This photo of Edith Wharton is my favorite. I recently read The Custom of the Country
by her and loved how contemporary and cutting is. I would describe it as "The Real Housewives of Late 19th Century New York City and Paris." I had never read anything by her before. Highly recommend.Hat tip to Rebecca Collins of Art Dog Blog who sent me this story. I spent hours at A Journey Round My Skull, then I hated my blog and redesigned it, then I put it back the way it was. I felt very Jealous Curator spending time in Will Schofield's skull. But I appreciate the link, Rebecca. And I think your new works, especially your mosaics, are fantastic.
I also found some more incredible photos of Edith Wharton and her dogs through the years. She will have another post soon.

Santa Dog Naps at Small Stump
I recently discovered Small Stump + Studio Choo, a floral shop and online art store based in Pacifica, California run by Alethea Harampolis and Jill Pilotte. Their wild take on handmade floral arrangements are exquisite, and I have bookmarked their primer on forcing Narcissus bulbs and building a succulent wreath (as seen on Design*Sponge), projects I can’t wait to try. They also have a blog category devoted to their dogs called “Dog Party” where I found this sweet photo.
I highly recommend stopping by their blog for some bouquet eye candy that will make your winter-y day bright. And remember, the days are getting longer. Spring is right around the corner.

Buenos Aires Dachshund
Back Alley Dachshund
Sometimes I don't allow myself to visit the Nag on the Lake blog because I can lose myself there in hours of cool. Luckily, The Nag is kind enough to send me photos directly to my inbox. Like this Dachshund photo she recently took on her trip to Buenos Aires. Reportedly, this little guy also came up and gave her a big kiss. So cool.

G-20 Black Dog
Photo by Erika June Christina Laing
My sister Regan lives in Pittsburgh where the G-20 just wrapped up on Friday. She sent me this photo by Erika June Christina Laing from her flickr site of one of the security dogs. What a shot. She also reported that several of the protests turned into sports rallies, with chants breaking out of “Go Pens!” and “Here we go Steelers, here we go!” That’s Pittsburgh for your. It’s all about the sports.

Neil Young and Dog Debut Johnny Magic
Neil Young debuted his new song Johnny Magic on The Huffington Post today. The low-tech video stars the rocker and his dog Carl in a groovy Travels With Charlie riff. Love it!

John Singer Sargent’s Studio
John Singer Sargent, 1885Photograph of John Singer Sargent in his Paris studio circa 1885. Photographer unknown via the Smithsonian Institution photostream on flickr. Note the large dog portrait in the upper left hand corner.
I wonder if this is where he seduced Louise Burckhardt (or she seduced him)…
Louise Burckhardt, Lady With The Rose, by Sargent, 1882
…and also painted Louise's dog, Pointy. IMO, one of the greatest dog art works of all time…
Pointy by John Singer Sargent, early 1880's
Read more about the bittersweet love story here. Pointy is also one of the stars in my short film, Dogs in Art.
