The above painting is my dog, Winslow. He's a retired racing greyhound. A little over a year ago, he lost a hind leg to cancer. 13 months later, he's beating all the odds. He's healthy and happy. On Saturday, we celebrated his 8th birthday with friends and cake. Winslow loves a good party and he had a lot of fun. The people had a good time, as well. I've painted Winslow 3 times, the above is most recent.

I paint weekly with a group of my friends. For Winslow's birthday, my friend, Ute Gil gave me the painting above. It's small, yet beautiful. I think this painting captures a side of Winslow that I can see, but find elusive to paint or photograph. If you would like to check out Ute's other paintings, go to http://www.utegil.com/ or to Boundless Gallery (http://www.boundlessgallery.com/). This is truly one of my (very few) cherished possessions.
Ute and I both take commissions for pet portraits.
Now, with children gone and parties over, perhaps I can move on and pursue that goal of "a painting a day"!
Until tomorrow,
Glynis
