The Yorkshire terriers are finished: "Harley", "Walker" and "Scooter". They are all 5"x7" acrylic on 140 lb. watercolor paper. I have changed the background so that it is less distracting and so that the dogs stand out more.

"Walker" is still in progress. His eyes are a little crazy looking. Maybe I should have completed them first. Some days, paintings go very smoothly. This one has been a struggle. Some days are like that.

Clothes Closet Poster: November 7-9, 2008
This is a poster that I designed and created for the Clothes Closet in Stevensville, Montana. The Clothes Closet is a nonprofit organization that provides clothing and household goods to those in need. They were providing this much needed service from a rent-free building but recently had to move out. They now must raise funds to pay for a new location.
