In My Studio – September 30
.
Here’s what’s been happening in my studio…
Nothing new to show you today, but September was a fun month. I finished 10 paintings that I’d started but never completed, and I had my first public showing at the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library.
Showing my paintings in public was scary. I must admit that I had plenty of moments filled with self-doubt and fear, but everyone was so supportive and generous. Thank you to all who encouraged me. I was delighted beyond belief to be invited to display again in August 2014.
This Week’s Inspiration
In 2013, I’m doing Inspiration Mondays and Results Thursdays. Every Monday, I’ll post a painting “inspiration” and then on Thursdays, I’ll post how I’m interpreting that inspiration. For October, I’m taking my inspiration from the great ideas you all have given me. In fact, I received so many suggestions, they will take me through the rest of the year. Here’s the list…
Daisy, Bella & Roxy – Autumn
Urban Hounds – Autumn, All Hallows Eve, Harvest & Halloween (old school)
Amy – Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz (75th anniversary of the movie), Poinsettia Girl, Snow Faerie Girl, Identical Twins, “It’s a Small World” 3 girls of different ethnicities together & Bunny and Flattery as girls
Graceful Greyhounds – Winter
Molly The Wally – Fall
Roxy the Traveling Dog - Fall
Animal Lover, Quilt Lover – Dog
Tales And Tails – Harvest, Orange, Halloween & Fairy Tale
Dip-Dip and The Bridge – Nostalgia & Vintage
Two Greyhound Town – Fall
Peaceful dog – Ocean
Mollie & Alfie – Bare branches on trees & Dew on the grass
Greyhounds CAN Sit – Happiness
You all certainly didn’t disappoint! If I missed anyone’s inspiration idea, it was completely unintentional. Please let me know in the comments or send me an email. I promise that I will do every one of these. Let’s start with…AUTUMN.
Finished ten! Well done. And congratulations on being asked to exhibit again.
Looks like Autumn/Fall it is….at least for one.
XXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy

How fun that you get to exhibit again. It will be easier…you will be a pro at it then.
I favor sight hounds too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are the best !!! When I got Zoie I had wanted a sight hound even a mix breed but they cost too much. Poor Zoie was free–they through her at us and she was so loving !!
That is so great to be asked back next year!
Looking forward to all your new paintings
