Bailey...another Golden

 

Just finished Bailey...this was a Pet Portrait Gift Certificate redemption from the holidays.You are looking at the final digital painting that I created and sent to my printer who will create an 18x18 Laminated Float Back Pet Portrait Print. It should arrive next week at which time I will sign and ship to it's new home in Atlanta. Below you can see how I create the digital painting, on my magic tablet...the cintiq:

Willie's Wilderness Adventures...

 Finished up several commission Pet Portraits, recently...this one was near and dear to my heart. My brother commissioned this narrative scene painting for his wife's birthday last year...and they have been very patient! Willie was an awesome dog and is missed very much...this painting celebrates his life and love of the outdoors, asparagus, tennis balls and his favorite pass time, catching bees!

New Logo Designs...Thinking Cap Tutoring:

I just finished this fun logo project for Lisa Nava, P.h.D. She offers
psychotherapy for children,teens and adults as well as tutoring for kids
and teens, mostly with dyslexia. I think it is a wonderfully friendly
design for kids who might be more nervous about therapy/etc. The top
logo will be for tutoring business cards and branding materials, the bottom for therapy.

Let me know if you are in the market for a new Logo for your business...I promise a fun and painless process!

I've got it covered...

The new Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce Directories were just delivered to my studio...they turned out great! I edited the design from the banner art to fit this format. Looking forward to seeing those banners hanging in the coming months. Let me know if you or your company is in need of some bold, eye-catching art for brochures, banners, logos, etc...I love brain storming and helping clients with these kinds of illustration projects!

Wells Street Wrap Up Part II

If you've ever chatted with me at a show, chances are I told you all about my dogs and their influence on my art. So I was a little nervous about retaining my composure, since this was myfirst art fair since losing Izzy, and I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve. As luck would have it, the Greyhounds Only rescue group were set up across from my booth at the Wells Street Show. They created a beautiful diversion, and also inspired me all weekend long. I did several drawings of them and in the midst of sharing with people about Izzy, did my first 'patron saint of' / post-pumpkin sketches. 

Wells Street Wrap Up Part I

Happy new collectors at the Wells Street Art Fair: The Mickelson's with one of my newest paintings "Outbound to O'Hare"...

My booth was very blue and green this time around especially with my new work. All my 'pink' paintings are hanging at the Poison Cup through the end of June.

It's always interesting to see that many people who are attracted to my work wear the colors of my palette...

Stay tuned for Part II tomorrow...'the Greyhounds'.
