The Duke of Adorableness

This is Duke, one of our sweet dogs from Adopt-A-Pet.  He's long since been adopted by a wonderful family.  He was such a joy to have at the kennels!

I enjoyed painting this adorable boy.  His wrinkles and big, meaty paws were challenging, but great practice.

This is one of our favorite anchorages in the San Juan islands.  We're hoping to get up here next summer (fingers crossed!).

I enjoy painting dogs at the beach so much!  Some people reach for comfort food; I reach for comfort paintings;) .

This is our boy, Salty, doing what he loves.  In reality, the stick was MUCH bigger!  Why he always has to find the most massive pieces of wood to fetch is beyond my comprehension!  Funny dog!

Another one of my friend's sweet Sierra.  She was such a good dog.

One of my best friends lost her sweet girl this past summer.  It's been heartbreaking for her and the family.  I was more than happy to capture this wonderful girl's personality on canvas.  RIP Sierra.

I love those warm summer evenings down by the water, and so does our dog, Salty!
