Artwalk was stupendous!

One of the concepts that matters when you're teaching
writing is avoiding superlatives. I never liked
that rule. This was a very good day -- in fact it was just perfect.
At the end of the day, once our doors were closed
on Artwalk 2008, I sat down to paint for the blog.
I have been working on drawings for a little painting
of a woman and a baby based on a photo taken at
a party we had a few years ago.

Unfortunately the camera needs charging so I
can't photograph it for you tonight, and tomorrow
is a long day at school, so I have to go to bed.



Zoey and her "cousin" Suki

One of my blog friends wrote a blog on dog facts
the other day. Because I have a dog, and yes I've
painted her, I know a lot of dog trivia, but am always
interested in learning more.

Well tonight's picture is of my dog and her "cousin"
my sister's dog Suki. This was taken a few years
ago before Suki moved to California, but I love
the photo. My dog is the one on the left, she's
half Border Collie/Lab and half Dalmatian. My
sister's dog is pure Border Collie.

More art tomorrow.

Have a knowing-how-much-you-matter-day.

  2. Those dog cousins are so cute! I wonder what they were waiting for...some kind of treat I'm sure. I'm sorry you couldn't show us what you were painting tonight but loved that you shared this sweet picture. I'll be back to see the painting of them...

  3. Hi Theresa,

    Hard to tell you how happy I am
    about all of your successes! You are
    a source of infinite inspiration. I love all of your paintings. The older
    woman one walking through the garden
    is deeply moving.

    You so rock!!!

  4. Hi Judi,

    I'm not sure I'll paint this one -- but I just likevit. Yes it was some
    forbidden treat my sister was dishing out. Zoey looks like she might explode with joy.

    Thanks for checking it out.

    Love your blog.
