Precious Bullie Babies Posted

Precious Bullie Baby #1 - Grindle


Precious Bullie Baby #2 - Millie


Precious Bullie Baby #3 - Maude


I am posting the Precious Bullie Baby series as the Canine Art Guild's exhibit, "Dog Gonn-It" will go online today. The exhibit celebrates the Guild's fifth birthday. In honor of that, all entries into the exhibit are 5x5 inches in dimension. I am looking forward to seeing the show. Hope you have time to take a look.

The babies did not come out quite as colorful here as they are in real life-- some of the subtle colors do not shoq. Maybe I reduced them to much in photo editing, if that is the problem, sorry about that. I have decided to keep this series, but my commissions start at $55 for a 5x7.

I have not seen it yet, it is early in the morning, as I post this. I am off to teach my first class today. Will be visiting my mother and then home tomorrow. I finally got in some good time working on the eagle, after I put alot of time organizing and preparing for my class. If I had done art instead of teaching work, I would never have done the teaching work! I will post a WIP when I get back.

Thanks for stopping by!

  4. They are wonderful and I really enjoyed the online show. I can certainly understand why you'd want to kepp the series. I voted for Maude though it was a tough call. :)

  5. Thank you very much for the comment and vote, Mona!

    There were so many interesting and great pictures in the show. I was really taken with how much detail people were able to do in 5x5 inches. I would never have guessed that was the format if not the state requirement. Maude was my favorite when I finished them all, I think I was just looser and free with color/interpretation by then and it worked well. Millie's portrait does capture her personally as the very self-possessed dog she was. I was very close to her, having raised her as a puppy and taking her everywhere with me, where as Maude was not a go places kinda of girle. Grindle was though, also. I think that helps the dog/person bond alot.
