A proper portrait of Ginger (aka Ginny), our former neighbors and Juices bestest friend. She is such a sweet girl 💕

A portrait of a brown brindle greyhound named Ginny with a slightly open mouth. One ear stands straight up while the other has fallen over to the side. She has light brown eyes and a black nose and tiger like stripes on her face.

Juices best friend Ginger (or Ginny/Gin). I wanted to #watercolor her in the style of Juice peaking around things 🩵 I have plans to paint her a portrait but couldn't resist this quick little painting.

A light brindled greyhound named Ginny peaking over a table. Only her head is visible over the table ledge. Her ears are bank and eyes wide asking for treats, or whatever you have on the table.

With Juice gone, I'm painting other dogs more, turning to dogs we've followed on socials for years that always make us smile. Abby of @cleolonglegs.bsky.social fame was a fun painting and she definitely has an energy I resonate with.

A watercolor painting featuring a large white borzoi with black spots named Abby wading through shoulder deep water. She heard away from the viewer and her fluffy white tail floats in the water.

I'm back! We lost our sweet Juicy Girl in May and I fell off the #art wagon for a bit, but I'm back to it!

We #fostered a sweet male #greyhound named Sam for a month so here's a quick #watercolor #sketch of him 🩵 he is such a love bug!

A watercolor and pen sketch of a red fawn greyhound looking up at you with big doe eyes and a white stripe down his nose. He also had one white sock and white toes on his other foot.

Been trying to be on my phone/social media less, but still #painting. Here's another #watercolor of #JuicetheGreyhound, this time hanging out of the car window.

A watercolor painting of a fawn greyhound with a green collar, hanging out of a car window. Her mouth is slightly open in a smile and the wind is blowing her ear just enough for it to stand up.

Another #watercolor of #JuicetheGreyhound. This time she's poking her head under Dad's leg to see if she can get some steak from me ♥️

Snug as a bug in a rug.

A small section of blanket with just a little bit of a fawn greyhounds nose sticking out. She's so snuggled up you cannot see her eyes and her nose is pressed into the floor.

Another one! I'm loving these so much ♥️ this one is #JuiceTheGreyhound at the vet checking to see whether they have left any extra treats on the counter.

It's storming here so #JuiceTheGreyhound is napping and I'm #painting. Juice always likes to peak her head in the bathroom to check out what you're doing. If you close the door all the way she just headbutts it open 🤦‍♀️

#watercolor #hobby #myart #artyear #greyhound #dogpainting
A fawn greyhound peeks her head in through the crack of a door, just enough to get her eyes in, to see what you're doing inside. She has a smile on her face and a mischievous look in her eye

I think this may become a series of #Juicethegreyhound peering around/over/under things 💜

#watercolor #hobby #myart #artyear #greyhound
A watercolor of a fawn greyhound peering around the corner. You can just see her head and her lead on the ground because she's refusing to walk.

Mr Bear is finished! I was thankfully able to realize the point where fishing with it was just detracting from it quickly and put my brush down and called it done. I'm very proud of accomplishing this ♥️

#watercolor #hobby #dogpainting #myart #artyear #happydog
A happy black dog named Bear with long fluffy hair and a white chest. He has an orange glow, as he's staying in the sunlight. He has brown eyes, a big pink tongue and a black nose.

Progress on my current #WIP of Mr Bear. I'm almost afraid to add to it like I'm going to suddenly mess it up! I'm so proud of it so far!

Had a nice quiet weekend and most of #myart was now personal and I didn't feel like sharing, but today I thought I would share a fun little #rubberducky from my mini #watercolor sketch pad. It's been fun getting back to #drawing as well as #painting.

Working on a #watercolor of Calef and was unhappy with the body from the original, but loved the face. I decided to pivot and try something fun. I still don't love how the body painting turned out but I do love how this fun little #craft is progressing.

We got some unfortunate news about #Juicethegreyhound 's cancer and I've been spending the weekend thinking about the little moments with her and trying to capture some with my #watercolor. Here she is peaking over the divider in the car.

The head of a greyhound peaking over a boundary. Her ears are folded back so far you can't see them and she's wearing a goofy, open mouthed grin on her face.

My buddy Ernie (aka my friend's very handsome boy). I'm happy with how my black turned out but I don't know that I am a fan of using white gouache - I want to try some alternatives.

Back to #birds for my #watercolor. I got to see a Ruddy Shelduck in person the other day, which inspired this one. I love their bright colors, especially on a grey day

Been thinking about thoughts Kolbie Blume has shared while painting. Today I painted this quick scene of Juice sun bathing.
It's out of character + imperfect. But I learned from it and am glad I was able to accept imperfection before starting.

Stuck with another bird, the barn owl, for the next painting. Working on being more loose and implied details.

Been getting back into painting watercolor again by doing small, quick paintings. Birds are always fun to paint.
