This painting was done on a Gallery Wrap canvas. The edges are painted all around, and it doesn't need a frame. I got the idea for this from seeing dogs that like to "hang on" to stuff. It can be a toy, a chew rope, or a piece of clothing...you can swing 'em around and the dogs love flying through the air. And of course, Hunter (my niece's Bagle puppy) provided inspiration!

OOPS!

Well, I apologize if you weren't able to find my website "Red Dog Art Gallery" the last couple of days. I decided to use a web hosting program, and forgot to change my links.
I had such a time trying to figure out how to work with FTP.
I am severely cybernetically challenged, so I spent all weekend reading about FTP and XHTML and Sitemaps and all kinds of computer stuff I am still trying to learn.
And I should have been painting! Ah, well, hopefully I have it all straightened out now. If anyone encounters any problems, please email me so I can correct it! Thanks!

"Frisbee Catch" 10x10 in. Original Oil on Canvas

Click on photos to enlarge
I love to watch dogs catching Frisbees! And Border Collies are so enthusiastic and energetic! I tried to imagine myself sitting on the grass at a dog park or field event, watching the dog flying into the air.

"Waiting" 9x12" Original Oil on Canvas

This painting was inspired by Titus, my niece's puppy. I took a photo of him as he was standing at the front door, watching Natalie and her husband, James, packing the car for the drive back to Houston.
