Networking and brainstorming with other artists is a great way to get inspired, keep up on new technology, ideas for how to continue this business called art.

This morning I met with Laurie Pace, contemporary Texas artist at her house. I got to know Laurie through our blogs and emails meeting with her this morning was a treat. She is a very generous artist who gives so much of her time and talent to other artists - one of her projects is the Texas Daily Painters and I have lucky enough bo be associated with her and this group.

The group is made up of artists from all over our large state of Texas and growing. Our first group exhbit is going to be at the Dutch Art Gallery, in Dallas, opening on October 17 and running till November 30.

Yellow Lab Two - Shelby

"Yellow Lab Two"

5 x 5 inches Oil on Board

On Ebay

A couple of weeks ago I had posted a yellow lab painting and put it up for sale on Ebay. An Artist's dream - two people bid against each other raising the initial price!! YAY!! I exchanged emails with the person who was outbid and she was kind enough to tell me the painting resembled her dog and sent me Shelby's photo. So I re-painted the yellow lab painting - added a few features that Shelby had.

A couple days ago I received an email from Laurie Pace who invited me to join her new Texas Daily Painters' Blog. Please see the link to the right. I'm so honored she asked me to join her and to be amongst such wonderful Texas Painters!! Pinch me!!

Today my husband went to Weatherford Animal Control to rescue another German Shorthair Pointer. It's a little girl pointer who's shoulder blades probably did not develope correctly and stands a little lopsided. The animal control folkes called her Crooky - because she's crooked. Must change her name. She's such a loving, happy and friendly girl that I'm sure she'd make someone a wonderful companion. I'll post her photo soon - she's actually a beautiful dog with such a sweet and loving temperament.
