May 12, "Focus"

I am still on a dog kick- it is fun how I go up to Grand Marais and think maybe I'll be doing something in particular and plan on it, and then I really go off in another direction!  Don't get me wrong, I did get three big otter paintings started and nearly finished though I hadn't realized I would be painting dogs!  And the dogs are still coming out-  I think it is the shininess, that gleam, the texture of the fur, and the contrast of the shadows-  they are about the limits of life, the bits and pieces of spirit we catch when we love the living things around us~

These guys will be around at Art A Whirl this weekend!  Come see them and me!  Northrup King, Studio #394!
