I found this photograph on the “Artsy” Pinterest board of Ginger Freckles. She pinned it from The Last Doll Standing, a fashion blog I think you’ll like.
My new pup, a six-month old Schnauzer/Terrier mix, and I found each other on Monday. On Tuesday, he had emergency surgery for an infected wound. He is on the mend. And I am in love. More soon about the whole story, once he is healed.
There are a few more photos on my Facebook page.

Via Room 26 Cabinet of Curiosities a blog that features new acquisitions, unique documents, and visual and textual curiosities from the collections of Yale's Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library. I highly recommend.
This photo is part of one of the best collections of dog art I have ever seen. Visit the blog Weimar: Art and Modernity and have a look.
Hat tip to reader Gary Ellis for sending me the link.
Happy Cinco de Mayo.
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.

The 1966 Defense Department annotation reads:
1st Marine Aircraft Wing (1st MAW). Photographer: Sergeant (Sgt.) Hathaway. CHRISTMAS VIGIL–A Marine sentry, Lance Corporal Glenn L. Mitchell of Washington, D. C., and his dog, "Chief," patrol a lonely perimeter near Marine Aircraft Group-36 (MAG-36) in Vietnam and pause before a cross near the group chapel. The Marine's thoughts reflect the hopes of servicemen around the world the Christmas season, "…peace, on earth, good will to men."
Is it futile to wish for peace each year? I hope not.
