Here’s a sneak preview of my exhibit at Burnt Bridge Cellars that I’ve titled “Dogs in the Winery”! We’d just finished installing it. The “we” being me, Kim and Judy.

Labrador dog art in the winery
As you know from other posts I’m getting ready for a one-person fine art exhibit to open June 2nd at Burnt Bridge Cellars www.burntbridgecellars.com. For this art exhibit I’ve been meditating, you might say, on how important it is to practice enjoying ordinary life. When I have a glass of wine I’m reminded to breathe, taste and…

You knew, I’m sure, that it was only a matter of time until I tried putting my dog drawings onto fabric… and you were correct! Look what came in the mail just now – a fabric test swatch for my approval. (I approve!!) Tea-towels and napkins here we come… Here’s the swatch as it came out of the…

more schnauzer art practice
Here’s more schnauzer practice (referring to my last blog post here) – this one is bigger (15 x 11 inches) and is more like the client’s dog I’m to feature in my fine art commission (via Caplan Art Designs). The commission is being done in color, using my cut handmade paper collage method, but I…

art book pet peeves
I love books about art including books about individual artists. But I wonder why they’re often the size of a coffee table and weigh as much as a Rottweiler. Why such dense prose in tiny fonts?

just looking and artist details
I’ve recently read a book about Balthus, a Polish – French artist painting in the late 20th century.

dog art book days
Recently I posted a video of me un-boxing proof copies of “Dogs by Sue Clancy” https://sueclancy.wordpress.com/2017/01/15/dogs-unboxed/ Overall I’m very pleased with the books printing, the binding and the way BookBaby https://www.bookbaby.com/ has done things. I’d used BookBaby to do my previous eBooks – so they weren’t un-known to me, and I knew they’d be good to…
