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!

Seahorse Races - 10x10" oil on canvas

I painted this piece because I could never find artwork of

seahorses that appealed to me. They somehow seemed too cartoonish.

Seahorses are fascinating and mysterious creatures. So little is known about them. But there are different types and sizes, and they have so many beautiful and vivid colors.

After viewing a multitude of actual photos of seahorses, I simply

used my imagination and put them in this setting.

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.
