Back to work

I rather dogged it this weekend but now that the weather is cooperating by being overcast etc. ,there are no temptations to wander outside and enjoy the beautiful fall heaven sent art show.

I just received an order from a shop in Georgia to furnish them with 7 shelf sitters, 2 Beware of dog signs and 2 slates. These are all generic to a breed. I also have a portrait slate to paint for a client in Pa. My client in Ca. received her cats and wants some cards made of the projects.

This weekend was a bust from a work ethic point but I had other things on my mind , worrying about my niece caught up in the bombings in Pakistan. She, fortunately, made it home to NYC in one piece on Sunday evening. She lives a very exciting life as an educator and advocate for the UN in some of the hot spots around the globe---a few weeks ago she just made it out of Uganda before the bombings there---not my idea of adventure or a life style ! I will stick with my pet paintings---animals are so much more civilized...Well, must be off to draw the critters, cut them out of wood and paint with EMMA's help. Included are a couple of ex. of the pieces ordered---more can be seen on my site:- www.animalandpetartistry.com
