Finished this small painting today of my daughter and my cousins' dog, Gage. I found out that he had to be put to sleep recently due to old age. I'm sending it off to them in memory of their dog who lived a long and happy life.
I am a retired high school art teacher who enjoys drawing and painting, but who now works predominately as a printmaker in my small home studio. I love exploring various block printing techniques, and print everything by hand without a press, using water soluble inks.
Whatever I do as an artist, I have to remind myself---no pressure---it all starts by just putting pencil to paper.
This is beautiful Jane. The dog is so lovingly rendered, you captured a very sweet expression. What a nice tribute to Gage and his owners.
ReplyDeleteI love the interaction between the girl and the dog. Wonderful gestures. Beautiful piece!!
