Update notifications and comments

I'm surprised that there doesn't seem to be a function where blog readers can request email notifications of blog updates. Am I wrong? If so, let me know. Anyway, I can add up to 10 email addresses on my end to receive notification via email when I post a new blog. If you are interested in being one of these 10, drop me a line.

Also, I changed the preference that requires a blog reader to have a google account to leave comments. Personally, I wouldn't want to sign up for a new account everytime something caught my attention on the web. There are already too many usernames and passwords to manage in life and there is little risk of trolls here.

I look forward to hearing from you.

The Dog Show at Green Rice Gallery

I have been busy preparing for The Dog Show at Green Rice Gallery in the NoDa arts district, here in Charlotte, NC. It's exciting and challenging. It's a show of about ten artists, from Charlotte and beyond, exhibiting their pet portraits.

Here are a couple of my paintings that will be on display. I will have nine paintings in the show.

Thanks to Angela Goodman, Carla Garrison, and gallery owner Allison Wolf Hertzler for organizing the show.

This is a painting done from one of my sister's many photos that she sends me. This is Emmy, a bit after she had had a litter of pups. She's a super sweet dog and this was fun to paint.
