A Furry New Endeavor: Painting of Your Pup

/

Templeton at Inner Harbor, Baltimore Maryland

For my boyfriend's birthday present I did a painting of his dog Templeton. While I have done dog and other animals in paintings before, I'd never done one of just a dog as a portrait. It turned out to be a lot of fun, while also being a challenge. 

He loved it (tears even). 

I know many of you have dogs (a.k.a. fur kids) and since I had fun painting Templeton, I'm thinking I'd like put this offer out there for anyone who's interested. 

Now, I know some of you might be concerned that I've given up painting male nudes and gay themes. Not to worry. I know many artists that also do still lifes or landscapes in addition to their male figures. Having another outlet helps keep things fresh and avoid burn out. For me, dogs are the other subject matter I have a passion for.

October is just a month away so time to get started on my Hallowe'en painting. I've done just about all the classic Hallowe'en ghouls, devils, vampires, werewolves, zombies, Frankenstein etc. This time I've been inspired by those flying saucer alien invasion movies from the 1950's...of course I'll put a sexy gay spin on it. Prepare for a gaylien invasion!

Screwed over...and not in the good way.

I know some of you were waiting for me to get more Capolavoro books in stock. Unfortunately that is not likely to ever happen.  

I've recently discovered I've been the victim of some financial misconduct related to my wholesale purchasing of the books.

I still believe this is a wonderful collection celebrating the art of the male by many of today's artists, but am saddened that it is forever tainted for me because of this incident. 

Original Sold!
