So I have 6 paintings ready for the Ford Gallery. I will take them over in the morning. Meanwhile I finished Dewey's portrait. Who is Dewey? Well, he is a little old man and also a shihtsu. His mom commissioned his portrait. He is very sweet and cute, but he can no longer use his back legs and he has to be carried most places. But check out this face! Doesn't it make you want a shihtsu? :)

I participated in the Levis Commons Art Fair in August and have been getting lots of good feedback from that. Some things have been a surprise, such as an invite to exhibit at the Ford Gallery downtown at the Spaghetti Warehouse. I will be taking 6 paintings down on Friday to let the curator pick what she thinks would work at their gallery. That all began with a conversation in my booth at Levis with Cynthia Ford, who was the judge for the fair. She loved the barn paintings (and the cows!) and gave my card to her curator. So.... we will see how this goes. I am posting a photo of one of my cow paintings. This one is titled "A Little Bull", because if you look close you can see that he is indeed a little bull. :)
