A Reluctant New Year

Latest News:

The oil painting Autumn In The Forest has made its way into the Originals shop.

A black hound stands in a bright fall forest, the colorful background setting off the graceful sighthound silhouette.

The painting is for sale, matted and framed, no glass. Click the image above for product information.

There were also three new oil paintings completed this month, image below, these will be coming soon!

In The Studio:

I’m a little surprised that I painted as much as I did this month because, to be honest, I’m still feeling lost from having to say goodbye to my precious Podenco, Romeo (GDS Spoc).

I still feel like drawing and painting, but the sadness leaves me feeling like I’m lacking any sense of direction.

I wasn’t ready…but I suppose we are never ready.

There was so much that I still wanted to do together.

And it feels so unfair to be forced to keep going forward without him here.

At Home:

To say that my little man is my source of sunshine right now is an understatement.

He’s still so full of happy energy…daily zoomies, tug, fetch, and wrestling. He’s getting doted on even more than usual, showered with love and kisses, treats, toys, and games. Although I can tell he misses having Romeo with us, he is really enjoying getting so much attention.

I am so sorry that the tone of this newsletter is sad. I prefer to look for happiness, try to focus on the good in life, and all I have to be grateful for, which is a lot.

But I felt that if I wrote this today from a “looking at the bright side“ perspective, it would be disingenuous. It would feel like a lie.

I hope things are looking bright and hopeful in your life.

May many beautiful experiences come to you in the new year!

God bless!
