Good Morning!

This little painting is something I've been playing with for some time. I am working toward a large abstract, based on this scene. I have painted it before and each time it becomes more abstract. I think I'm ready to do the large one.

Yesterday was a busy day. My young artist friend finished her portrait, but we didn't have time to photograph it. I took Winslow for his swim at the Northern VA Swim Center. This is a swimming facility for dogs and horses. Winslow swims there for exercise since he can't run. It's a wonderful drive through the country to Middleburg. I had the opportunity to do a number of driveby photos. The prospects for a paintable one or two look good.

Today, I'm off to paint with my friend Ute. Our first outdoor paintings for this year. Hopefully I'll have something to show for it tomorrow.

Until then,

Glynis

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
