Painting a Dog a Day by Kimberly Kelly Santini



"Down Time (Johnny & Abby)," 6" x 8", double dog portrait depicting a Boxer and a mixed breed (hound), acrylic on canvasboard. Inquiries (including booking your own pet portrait, from miniature size [4" x 4"] to larger than life) may always come to me.

I didn't get to the easel early enough today to start the complex larger painting I'm planning, so reached for a little board and Johnny & Abby's photos. Another artist sent me these snuggling pics of her dogs after she saw "Little Brother," the Boxer puppy painting I completed last week.

She's got first dibs on the painting, but if you are interested in it, let me know. At the very least, I can upload "Down Time" to Imagekind so that you can order reproductions or notecards (that offer stands for most of my other paintings - the link to my Imagekind shop is below my signature).

So tomorrow I've got big plans to start a storytelling painting, the first in a new direction that I have much hope for. I'm tempted to get it started tonite, but have some paperwork that needs attention. We'll see how much discipline I have, though. Stay tuned....

And stay warm! Geez, but it's cold out there!

Thanks, as always, for looking at - and sharing - my artwork with your friends and family.
