A portrait of a brown brindle greyhound named Ginny with a slightly open mouth. One ear stands straight up while the other has fallen over to the side. She has light brown eyes and a black nose and tiger like stripes on her face.

A proper portrait of Ginger (aka Ginny), our former neighbors and Juices bestest friend. She is such a sweet girl 💕

Thank you!

A light brindled greyhound named Ginny peaking over a table. Only her head is visible over the table ledge. Her ears are bank and eyes wide asking for treats, or whatever you have on the table.

Juices best friend Ginger (or Ginny/Gin). I wanted to #watercolor her in the style of Juice peaking around things 🩵 I have plans to paint her a portrait but couldn't resist this quick little painting.

A watercolor painting featuring a large white borzoi with black spots named Abby wading through shoulder deep water. She heard away from the viewer and her fluffy white tail floats in the water.

With Juice gone, I'm painting other dogs more, turning to dogs we've followed on socials for years that always make us smile. Abby of @cleolonglegs.bsky.social fame was a fun painting and she definitely has an energy I resonate with.

A watercolor and pen sketch of a red fawn greyhound looking up at you with big doe eyes and a white stripe down his nose. He also had one white sock and white toes on his other foot.

I'm back! We lost our sweet Juicy Girl in May and I fell off the #art wagon for a bit, but I'm back to it!

We #fostered a sweet male #greyhound named Sam for a month so here's a quick #watercolor #sketch of him 🩵 he is such a love bug!

A watercolor painting of a fawn greyhound with a green collar, hanging out of a car window. Her mouth is slightly open in a smile and the wind is blowing her ear just enough for it to stand up.

Been trying to be on my phone/social media less, but still #painting. Here's another #watercolor of #JuicetheGreyhound, this time hanging out of the car window.

A fawn greyhound with brown eyes pokes her head under a leg to see if she can get some of your dinner.

Another #watercolor of #JuicetheGreyhound. This time she's poking her head under Dad's leg to see if she can get some steak from me ♥️

A small section of blanket with just a little bit of a fawn greyhounds nose sticking out. She's so snuggled up you cannot see her eyes and her nose is pressed into the floor.

Snug as a bug in a rug.

A watercolor painting of a fawn greyhound peaks her nose up over a counter, searchint for treats

Another one! I'm loving these so much ♥️ this one is #JuiceTheGreyhound at the vet checking to see whether they have left any extra treats on the counter.

A fawn greyhound peeks her head in through the crack of a door, just enough to get her eyes in, to see what you're doing inside. She has a smile on her face and a mischievous look in her eye

It's storming here so #JuiceTheGreyhound is napping and I'm #painting. Juice always likes to peak her head in the bathroom to check out what you're doing. If you close the door all the way she just headbutts it open 🤦‍♀️

Thank you!!

A watercolor of a fawn greyhound peering around the corner. You can just see her head and her lead on the ground because she's refusing to walk.

I think this may become a series of #Juicethegreyhound peering around/over/under things 💜

Just a #beautifulday to sit and watch the #birds with #JuiceTheGreyhound

A happy black dog named Bear with long fluffy hair and a white chest. He has an orange glow, as he's staying in the sunlight. He has brown eyes, a big pink tongue and a black nose.

Mr Bear is finished! I was thankfully able to realize the point where fishing with it was just detracting from it quickly and put my brush down and called it done. I'm very proud of accomplishing this ♥️

#watercolor #hobby #dogpainting #myart #artyear #happydog

For sure!! Sometimes I think I should quit while I'm ahead bc I'll eventually fall into a hole of "perfecting" it and end up detracting from it. I chose to practice a black dog bc I painted a different black dog early this week and did exactly that lol

Progress on my current #WIP of Mr Bear. I'm almost afraid to add to it like I'm going to suddenly mess it up! I'm so proud of it so far!

#watercolor #dogportrait #hobby #myart #artyear

Thank you!

A watercolor painting work in progress. The mouth is painted with a big wide open smile and pink tongue. He has brown eyes and a black nose.

A #WIP of my friend Mr Bear to practice painting black animals. Loving how he's coming along

Painted a couple of #flowers for the first time this week, just in time for the the daffodils and trees to start blooming here.

#watercolor #hobby #myart #artyear

Finally finished this guy ♥️ this was a really fun project and I'm so happy with how the mechanics worked out!

Had a nice quiet weekend and most of #myart was now personal and I didn't feel like sharing, but today I thought I would share a fun little #rubberducky from my mini #watercolor sketch pad. It's been fun getting back to #drawing as well as #painting.

#artyear #hobby

On a side note - if anyone knows how to disable a sound for a video on Bluesky, I would greatly appreciate the tip!

Working on a #watercolor of Calef and was unhappy with the body from the original, but loved the face. I decided to pivot and try something fun. I still don't love how the body painting turned out but I do love how this fun little #craft is progressing.

#hobby #myart #Goldenretriever #WIP #artyear

Thank you - while our news isn't great, she's still a happy monster and feeling good for now so we're just enjoying our time together. And I agree, I always enjoy drawing or painting them.

Ok but I actually may need to start using these for my little travel sketch book! I don't know why I never thought of this before!! I love learning new things from you 🥰

The head of a greyhound peaking over a boundary. Her ears are folded back so far you can't see them and she's wearing a goofy, open mouthed grin on her face.

We got some unfortunate news about #Juicethegreyhound 's cancer and I've been spending the weekend thinking about the little moments with her and trying to capture some with my #watercolor. Here she is peaking over the divider in the car.

Forgot alt text - it's a watercolor painting of a black and white cat named Ernie, leaning towards the viewer inquisitively. The colors used include a lot of yellow and purple based hues, giving the painting a warmer feel.

My buddy Ernie (aka my friend's very handsome boy). I'm happy with how my black turned out but I don't know that I am a fan of using white gouache - I want to try some alternatives.

Watercolor and ink painting of a Ruddy Shelduck (an orange and black duck species) floating on the water.

Back to #birds for my #watercolor. I got to see a Ruddy Shelduck in person the other day, which inspired this one. I love their bright colors, especially on a grey day

Watercolor of a fawn greyhound basking in the midday sun on a winter day.

A fawn greyhound named Juice basking in the midday sun on a winter day. She is wearing a watermelon themed collar and a blue harness.

Been thinking about thoughts Kolbie Blume has shared while painting. Today I painted this quick scene of Juice sun bathing.
It's out of character + imperfect. But I learned from it and am glad I was able to accept imperfection before starting.
