Lady Cecile And Her Spaniels, 10"x12", oil on canvas. Sold.
I knew that it was only a matter of time before I squeezed a couple of King Charles Spaniels into a painting. I was going to title the painting 'Lady Cecile with Beauregard Duncan and Finnegan Elliott', but I thought that might be too crazy. It seems appropriate that King Charles Spaniels have middle names though. Maybe it's because of their fancy pedigree, or perhaps any animal who's fur coat is referred to as 'feathers, ruffles, wings, and skirts' should have more than just one name.
Finnegan (the red and white one) is actually my own dog (skinny arms and all), but Beauregard is fictional. Oh, and so is Lady Cecile... Just so you know.....

This seems like a fitting picture to describe what I wish I spent the holidays doing. Of course in the corner of that painting there would be a nice glass of sherry and a pound of Christmas cake. Anyway, not much was accomplished these past few days...except for sorting out my 2009 images on the computer and filing them away. I had the best of intentions to get back to my studio yesterday but that didn't seem to happen, so I just wanted to mention that I'll likely have a painting on paper ready later today, but likely paintings on canvas won't surface until Wednesday.

Now I have to admit, I was really hoping that this beautiful beast would have been parked under the tree this year, but I guess not. I have high hopes that one year it will appear. I'm a great lover of expensive vehicles that cost more than my house.
Practicality is not important to me.
Merry Christmas!
