Michael Fräse, someone whom I consider my Artful Guardian Angel, just listed this painting – a tribute to a Police Dog named Vasko.
Have a look at his painting, grab a tissue (or two or three), and read through the auction text.
Tribute To Vasko
God Bless Vasko and every other K9 Police & Rescue dog. What amazing creatures they are.
I just finished Tortie and listed him too. This is a digital pic, of course I can’t wait for the painting to dry to scan it on the flatbed! I will replace the auction images once I get the scan, but this is accurate to color (just not to all the detail I like to show!!)
Click the pic to see the auction:
Here’s a better pic of him, and he’s linked to his auction, where you can see a nice detail scan of his eyes. 🙂
This one should be dry some time tomorrow so I can scan him, for now an evening digital is just going to have to do! (by the way, he’s 8×8 in oil)
I will leave you with a teenie tiny sneak peek at the other gorgeous feline I’m painting. I actually have had them side by side and have been painting on each of them today, but once I got to Logan’s basket I decided to just concentrate on getting him done first. hehe!
His eye is done; he’s a tortoiseshell kitty (10×8 oil)
Here ya go…. (updated with another late night work in progress shot!)
Have a great evening, all!

Here’s his box:
It’s complete! Remember that nice photo I took from the anniversary bouquet that Mark sent? Yep, the painting is done. I love it, it turned out so beautiful I had to close my eyes and type out the listing! Here it is, available on eBay.
Thank you for the beauty-full flowers, Mark! :)*
Yep folks, I gave in to eBay’s one day listing fee sale. I will be changing over to Artbyus for future listings, but for today I went ahead and listed everything I’ve got! That includes my Peach Rosebud, First Prize Macro, and my Buckeye Wing that I’ve hung onto from last summer. All of my prints are up, too! Here are all of my listings….
Going to go paint! Have a great day!

Yesterday was a pretty emotional day for me. The last few days have been a little rougher than I am used to, but yesterday was something different. I paced, I tried to lie down, tried to redecorate, nothing worked.
Finally, at about 6PM, I went straight out to my studio and opened up my tubes of paint. I felt relaxed, finally not thinking about everything on my mind, in my own zone. I still have to go back to my zone for a bit more to finish, but here’s the result of my loose & free painting episode. I don’t know if I will ever be able to not paint realistically, but this is probably the farthest I’ve gone impressionistically. (Erikie? Do you agree?) It’s a good size, 12 x16, and I even painted it around to the sides.
Enjoy.
