Carlos

 As a commercial dog walker, I see a lot of dogs naturally, and as an artist, I am compelled to paint them. This little guy, a pomeranian is irresistible! It is amazing how little dogs can be so bold. It's all attitude! At the moment I took the photo from which this I did this painting, he was jumping on my leg - I barely noticed him! Good thing I did, I just love this image.

Marshall at the Lake

This is Marshall, a very boisterous and energetic Visla, who I have walked since he was a tiny puppy, and who is now 4 years old. He lives with Shadow, another wonderful Visla.

Shadow at the Lake

It is hard to believe there is such a thing as summer when it is -20 C here in Toronto this morning!
This is Shadow, a wonderful and special Visla I walk every day.  He loves meandering at the shore of Lake Ontario on balmy summer days.

Avery

Tia

I saw Tia at the park the other day, and her winter coat is much darker that her summer coat as seen in this painting. Here she is swimming joyfully in Lake Ontario. She is a sweet dog who loves to dip her head into the water, and like most labs, is sure you have a treat for her.

Those Eyes

This is Picasso, I dog I see regularly when I am doing my dog walking gig. He is just gorgeous, and he has the most remarkable eyes. They are very dramatically outlined, but they have such a soft look. He was rescued from the streets in Costa Rica (I think!) and has a wonderful life with his Toronto family.

Harley

This is my dog walker friend Carolyn's best dog. He is an older boy, larger than your average black lab, and the sweetest natured dog, never does anything wrong, is always happy and has a warm greeting for everybody. I just love this guy.
