Pianos and Paintings

Two things:

First, my latest digital painting:

And second, a video I think you'll enjoy.  :-) 

Have a great weekend!  We are all buttoned down for the Isaac storm, so we hope to be back and ready to go in the morning!

Hurricane watching, puppy picture-ing

While we keep an eye on the hurricane charts (we have shutters and a generator, so if it comes around we're not too worried), I went to the SPCA this morning.  It's like a puppy paradise there!  I don't know why, but we've had lots of pit bull puppies, and they are adora-bull.  :-)

I also met a Corgi today who could be a canine model.  He knew how to pose and really didn't take a bad shot.  And a Shepherd mix and some other really sweet dogs --

Anyway, here's a sampling of today's beautiful dogs.  And after I share those, I really  need to clean my house!

Gracey

While my granddaughter sat on my lap tonight and watched BABE (I was babysitting), I did a digital painting of Gracey, one of the SPCA dogs who has been happily adopted.

I don't know if this qualifies as fine art, but I like it.  Maybe I'll move on to doing people--once I get the animals figured out.  :-0

Puppies at the SPCA

I took a break from my researching today to go to the SPCA to shot pictures--and they had PUPPIES!  What fun.  I got lots of puppy kisses and lots of pictures of wriggly rear ends, but I also got some cute pictures of pit bull mix puppies.  AND--I've been learning how to turn digital photos into digital oil paintings.  :-)  (No, you can't do it with one click--it takes hours.)  Cli

So tonight I turned one of today's puppy pictures into a painting.  It's lacking details like whiskers, etc, but you can get the general idea.  Click on the first photo to see the painting details.  The second photo is the original photo.

Have a great week!  I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Spca--PUPPY time!

Spent the morning in a downpour at the SPCA--and despite the rain, I got some lovely pictures of puppies--and people were adopting them left and right.  I was lucky to get shots before the puppies went home with their new families.  I wish them all the happiness in the world.

Here are the doggies of the day:  Bear, Anita, Crystal, Harley, Lou, Oddball, Odie, Perdy, Rucy, and Leola!
