New Prints!! Sphynx Kitty & Skinny Vinny

"Skinny Vinny"

"Bald is Beautiful"

I have lots of new matted prints in the works. Available now in my Artfire & Etsy Shops :)

It's been very busy here the past few weeks. I've just finished up Hogan's painting in oil and will post an update on Calvin's portrait in the next few days. Here is handsome Hogan's completed portrait :)

Hogan In-progress

This is the latest stage of Hogan's portrait in oil. I will be adding the last few details as soon as the current layer is dry.

We have had our first dusting of snow on the high mountain peaks here in Alaska & we are surrounded by the beautiful colors of fall. On the weekend iggy-Django and I are off to Texas to visit family & friends for a few days :)

Calvin in-progress

It has been a while since I have posted an update. We have have had such a busy summer here and finally I am getting a chance to update the blog and post some of my current works.

I will have an update on Hogan in the next couple of days as his painting is now almost finished. Also -I have been working on a red-coated iggy with a fun patterned background...will post an update on that one soon.

And this is a memorial painting of a beautiful boy named "Calvin" in-progress :)

Hope you have enjoyed your summer as much as we have. We hope to go for a hike with the iggies on Friday if our warm fall weather holds on here in Alaska :) -Lisa

Art in Pink

There is a great new blog "Art in Pink" a group of artists committed to helping raise funds for breast cancer. I have posted a bit about my own experience with Breast Cancer. You can visit the blog here: http://artinpink.blogspot.com/

Hogan in-progress

Here is the recent progress on Hogan in oils. I'll just be here finishing up Hogan and getting started on my next couple of works before our trip in August. It has been so hard to be productive at full capacity this summer as it has been an absolutely gorgeous summer here in Alaska. We have seen day after day of 70 degree sunny weather....perfect for hiking and we have to make time to do all we can while summer is here. We actually have been hoping for some rain and as it's cloudy today - looks as we may get a bit :)

I am continuing my work on the italian greyhound painting "Hogan" and will have an update photo after today's session.

Our sweet senior IG "Spinner" has had a horrible eye infection and we have been to the vet several times in the past 3 weeks. It is finally better and I got this cute photo of her I wanted to share....she is the cutest little bug (Spinner came to us with no teeth at all...so she likes to show off her tongue..lol)

This has been a wonderful week here in Alaska....we have had absolutely beautiful sunny days all week. We have been taking the dogs for a hike almost every day on our local Flat Top mountain which has beautiful views of both the mountains and of the Cook Inlet. I will try and get some pics the next time we go. I LOVE Alaska in the summer :)

Hope you and your family are having a wonderful summer too!!
