It's been such an exciting week that I feel a little like the charcoal greyhound "After the Exciting Race" in the painting I posted. First I was delighted to read a wonderful article article in the Billiings Gazette about my brick and mortar gallery at the Rue D'Artistes. Here's the link:

Then I found out that my painting of "Colorado", the Police Dog, was chosen as the cover for the August edition of the magazine, "Animal World USA". Here is the link: http://animalworldusa.org/

Wire Fox Terriers is a pen and ink drawing with prismacolor pencils. The Wire Foxes are a high energy, intelligent dog. Like many terriers they love to be around people and need attention and leadership.
