Dog Art Today

Jaime Ellsworth at WaterWorks Gallery

Sleeping Dogs

I've been a big fan of Washington-based artist Jaime Ellsworth since she almost won the 2011 Mutt Lynch - Dog Art Today Wine Label Contest.

Her new series of dog artworks, which explore her daily observations, personal relationships, and the passage of time, are being featured in the upcoming exhibition, The Dog Show: Loving Our 4 Legged Friends, at WaterWorks Gallery on San Juan Island, June 22 - July 13, 2013.  There's an opening reception and discussion this Saturday at 2pm.   Fellow dog artist, sculptor Barbara Duzan, will also be discussing her work.

Kat Corrigan's 30 Dogs in 30 Days 2013

Jet by Kat Corrigan

It's that time of year again.  Every July Kat Corrigan paints 30 Dogs in 30 Days.  Last year she honored me with a Tyler Foote portrait.  And my friend Tifin's Jet (above) also made the roster.

Submit a photo of your dog to be part of the fun. There is no obligation to purchase the finished portrait.   But commissions are encouraged.  And every commission will be painted.

Visit Kat Corrigan's website for details.
