It’s nice to be back in the studio after being in England for the past three weeks. It was nice to be in England too, don’t get me wrong! But there is something to be said about a cup of tea, my two cats and new dog all in their various snoozing positions around the room and me in front of the canvas again.

I started this painting of Doug before we left for our trip but just finished it up today. He has been recovering from a nasty bite wound from a neighbourhood tomcat and I decided a portrait session was in order. Now he can stare at his portrait on the wall while he is on house arrest (probably the rest of his life but don’t tell him that). The painting is for sale by auction at dailypaintworks.com starting at $50.
