So here I am with a whole year flown by and not many posts. It seemed that I was always going to post something as soon as I finished _______, and then I was immediately busy with something else.
I completed a few dog portraits — two were commissioned works, and the other I did just because I wanted to paint that dog.
The other thing I have been spending time on was a large metalwork commission — a double gate for a client’s home. I just got it finished and installed!
Tomorrow I’m off to an annual art benefit event in Grand Forks North Dakota. It is a fantastic event that raises funds for deserving organizations in the community, and showcases lots of wonderful artworks.
Hoping to have more art to share this year. Now that spring has finally arrived (we had a long, long winter!) I expect some creative energy to come along with it!
It’s great to receive an update from you, thanks! We have a sculptor building a time capsule with students at my school. She was pouring liquid metal into molds today and I thought of you then, too-so twice in one day! Please let us know if you have art on exhibit, especially in the metro area. We’d love to see it. Thanks, Steph

Thanks Steph!
Just wondering if the collie is Laddie?
Wonderful expressions on all the dogs. Love them all.
Hi Carol — the collie is a local celebrity, named Mason — he starred in the most recent “Lassie Come Home” movie! I met him at the county fair. Thanks for your comments, it’s nice to get feedback on my work. 🙂
