Dogs dig the sand in the morning.

They're headed to CaliFur in May (after they dry off. ;] )

It must be tough to dry off with all that fur though... Which is incredible looking by the way. Your work is always very impressive. It's amazing how often you update considering how much detail you have in each pic. (Or do you have a secret horde of artwork I am unaware of elsewhere?)

Blotch ~blotch

I have a secret vault under the floor boards that leads to a magical alternate dimension where all the art that I will ever do in my life has already been made, and all I have to do is pluck out a piece and laugh evilly as I swamp poor unsuspecting FA users with my prolific other-dimensional alt. ;]

Heh, the dog in the background on the very left has a tennis ball :3

This was done in... oil? The detail suggests that oil needs to dry off instead of watercolors...

Blotch ~blotch

*coughs* sorry, I meant after the dogs in the picture dry off, as in, it's wet at the beach. It's acrylic and watercolour. ;]

really great job....colors are wonderful...what do you use to paint with, and what brand-brush type-paper type?

Blotch ~blotch

Traditional Artist

19 years ago

Acrylics (Golden) and Watercolour (Winsor-Newton), brushes are the super cheap ones from the local artstore, because I burn through them pretty quickly--but I have some better quality ones for washes (Winsor-Newton Series 7)-- and the paper is Arches watercolour paper. :]

Faving for pure awesomery. The focus of the picture is fantastically done as usual, which sounds terrible to say, but true, but really what stands out even more than that is your attention to minor details in the background. The barely faded in characters in the background, the slight reflection of the wet sand. Really well done, thanks so much for letting us watch!

words cant express how much i love this pic. seriously. i love the beach so much and its quite subtle, but the background is lovely. The water reflection is also very choice. Usually i just leave a goofy comment or something but, seriously, u are an amazing artist.

When Brer saw this picture this morning, he started to whine about not being able to go to CaliFur and bid on it. You could probably have heard it in Colorado if you stepped outside.

Great work! Love the energy and emotion.

This artwork is awesome! The depth adds great detail. The grayness makes it a bit dreary but I guess that's to help put the frisbee players the main focus.

Just wanted to say thank you for putting together such a wonderfully playful and energetic piece. For some reason or another I have never taken the time to bid in a con art show until this point but something encouraged me to try this one for $hits and giggles. Amazingly I won and, as my boyfriend can attest to, I'm hovering somewhere above Cloud 9. Again oodles of kudos and I assure you it went to an appreciative home.

Keep up the fantastic work!

Would that border collie be willing to make time for us to get our knots in each other a few times berfore he goes? *thinks the paws are a nice touch*
