Molly turns 7 tomorrow! A good run on the beach to celebrate another year. We have now had Molly as long as her former owners. We hope that she is happy with her life with us as much as we adore her furry spirit in our atmosphere. Happy day you came to live with us Red. xo

Inspiration on a Tuesday

Two dog blog

It's April. How did it happen? Three months behind us and the horizon in front. There is a whole slew of projects burbling in the studio. New stamps are slowly eeking their way into existence on the sidelines of painting for a new show that opens in September ... which seems far away, but not considering the speed that 2013 is deserting us. I think it will be here before I realize that summer has come and gone.

Ms. Molly by Teresa Zepeda

Teresa Zepeda, artist extraordinaire. This is a silkscreen and more than that, a reductive silkscreen. Which means this, it is made from one screen, each color successively blocked out starting from white to black. Teresa uses this medium in a way like no other, using a small paint brush and her eagle eye to make all that delicious texture within the frame.

At the same time, her ability to be one with her subject and capture the expression of a beloved pet or the dizzying effect of a carnival ride. I'm smitten and ever grateful for this amazing depiction of my beloved Ms. {firecracker redhead} Mollykins.

A new painting started today of Molly, one that will accompany the portrait of Athena and Skye.

Dog days of Summer

We've all been enjoying the last days of summer holiday in the mountains. Doggies are having a blast. They love knowing where their people are 24/7 AND getting to swim and chase critters ain't so bad either.

Singing in the Studio

There is nothing Molly likes more than the sound of a distant siren.

Waiting

For the sun to come out, for her playmate to get home, for summer fun to start.
