Double frames

I was happy to find these double picture frames at Goodwill the other day, and for only $1.00.  And guess what I had in mind for them?  


Yes, Otis and Riley.  These are prints that I made of my original paintings.  


My two very special boys.  And even though Riley is no longer with us, I look at his sweet little face and am reminded of all the good times we shared.   It's hard to think about one without the other ~ that's why I was happy to find a double frame like this.

A walk with the wieners, a bird house and a book


There's a chill in the air today and it's a beautiful day for a walk.


The wieners were ready to go. I put on my hooded sweatshirt, gloves and scarf and out we went into the fresh brisk air. It's about 54 degrees here today (that's cold for me) but later in the week it should be back up into the 60's (looking forward to that ~ I'm not a cold weather person, as you probably know).



The leaves are not as vibrant this year as they were in years past ~ slow to change color and they seem to be dropping fast, but I did get a few photos of some pretty Autumn color. Otis and Riley enjoyed running and playing and sniffing everything possible at the park.




And since the weather has turned cold I've turned to painting and reading. I'm working on a bird house that I purchased at AC Moore. I like their variety of bird houses and they're very inexpensive. If you put several coats of paint on and a clear coat varnish, you can use them outside.



This one on my art table is still in the works and will get a bit more embellishment. I'm going to make a bird house wall on the back of the house where I will hang several colorful bird houses all clustered together.



The book I'm reading is another one of Barbara Taylor Bradford's books, The Triumph of Katie Byrne, and it's so good I can't put it down!




Well, I hope you're enjoying your day today,

whatever it is you're doing!

A dachshund painting



I just finished this pop art dachshund painting.

Very different from my usual "detailed real to life" paintings. It was fun!





Both are for sale in my etsy shop.

Wieners in the garden


Otis and Riley love spending time outside playing in the garden,



looking for bugs (or mice?),








always on the lookout for squirrels,




enjoying the sun,






and catching naps.

A painted portrait



acrylic on canvas

6x6



I finally finished the wiener painting I started a few weeks ago. Painted on canvas, it measures 6 x 6 inches, acrylic paint.


I'm selling this one, and you can buy it here.




As you know, my dachshunds, Otis and Riley, are my inspiration for all the wiener paintings that I do. Love those little faces.

Wiener painting


Otis is posing for a new painting.



I'm starting a new pet portrait today ~ and I should have it finished in a few days. I have painted portraits of both Otis and Riley before, and you can see them on my Pet Portrait blog.

My inspiration comes from both of them, and they are always happy to oblige.


Enjoy your day!

Look what's growing in my garden.....


wiener dogs!


Otis and Riley like sitting in the veggie garden.



Whether it's sunning themselves beside the lettuce and radishes,



sniffing the lemon balm and walking past the onions and sweet peas.....



it's a real chore keeping them out of the veggie beds. I guess I should be thankful they're not eating them.



Enjoy your day!
