Pet Portrait Contest results

No good deed goes unpunished. I got a most patient inquiry re: the contest on this blog.
I had hoped to spare my Intimate Landscape readers how poorly this post shows up as a blog. It does work great in email and reader and as sent to my pet portrait subscribers....and I wouldn't want anyone to miss out.

** This post is best viewed in Google reader or in your emailsubscribe in margin. :) Dear Pet Parents, A thousand and one thanks for entering the Catch em Bein Cute Pet Pose Contest. And a bucket load more for your patience awaiting the results. You guys have awesome pets that made this choice challenging. If you sent a double pet portrait, please forgive me for being relieved when some good shots of just one pet showed up enabling me to give away ONE free portrait, not two. Take consulation in knowing the winner will need continued patience while I whip up some pre-holiday commissions. I wish I could have met your guys in person, and have been in email negotiations with a couple of you. I want a finished portrait you'll love.

Rick and I are newly back from a shivering but kvelling visit with Dustin in a foggy San Francisco. We even got to cook out with his kitties and cohorts.We hiked, we ate, we wine-tasted, we museumed. My attempt at replicating Korean barbecue makes me appreciate the real bi bim bop even more. Just linked you to a youtube cooking video. Enjoy. Evinston Sunset with Cow 9x12 oil on canvas You can soak up scenes like this all over central Florida. Seems the cows love to pose. I'm so glad we still have elbow room.

Palm Tree with Cyan Sky 8 x 6 " oil on panel If you were at the Melrose paint out, you may have spotted this exact tree. Palm tree patterns fascinate me. They give me the chance to exaggerate color and line. Save the date for this paint out I'm excited to be in the 5 day juried painting event Painting the Region: The Bartram Trail, Oct. 6 - 10 in North St. Johns County, FL.
