I have been painting a lot purely from my paintings, no reference in front of me. And a shape that keeps presenting itself is dogs. You probably can't tell but there are five dogs in these three paintings.
I think maybe I like the challenge of painting a dog that isn't cute, that holds the complexity of relationship you can really have with them -- and trying to get that right. The painting on the wall isn't working and is about to be completely changed, I feel the urge to cover coming on but this post is a little homage to my girl. She's especially on my mind today as we found out she has a torn acl and needs about a billion dollars worth of surgery. Dog paintings with a cone head here we come? I hope not.

Sorry to hear about your 'girl'...hope that she heals quickly!
On another note...LOVE your work...just discovered you!
I love the colours in the one on the wall. The greens really shine. Wishing your pup a speedy recovery...
Sorry about your pup :( Your paintings are awesome. I find that my work is better when I do paintings off of old work. I feel like it comes from me.
Thank you thank you all!
