Georgia's Pub - Memorial Portrait

Georgias Pub 

16" x 20"

Oil on Wooden Panel

I completed this "Pub" portrait a few months ago. I'm so far behind on posting!  I got a wonderful note from Georgia's owner when he received it:

"Our beloved Golden Retriever Georgia passed away after a full life and I was looking for a way to remember her. I saw Liz's website and sent her a few photos. Liz captured her physical look and in an uncanny way was able to capture her personality also. I put this pub sign up outside of our  games room and it is almost like Georgia says hello every time I walk in. This is a great way to memorialize a beloved pet."

The portrait was actually composed from two different photos - one of her face, and one of her body.

I am on the last phases of completing another pub sign which I will eventually post :)

Thanks for your interest in my artwork, and emails. Please feel free to comment.

This is a painting that will become the logo for the Emerald Coast Golden Retriever Rescue. The original will be auctioned off on ebay and they will get 100% of the funds.

It's late, and I'm tired so that's it for tonight! I hope to be painting live on Ustream.tv again soon.

Uintah & Wahsatch & the Bluebird of Fair to Middlin'

Finally getting around to posting the final photo of the two golden retrievers - They have great names - they are named after the mountains in the area of Utah where they live. They are both search & rescue dogs. As usual it's not a very good photo, but I haven't posted in so long, I figured I'd put it up anyway.

My son and I participated in the Funky Finds Spring Fling art & craft show. My son's artwork can be seen here The show was a lot of fun. It was a 'dog-friendly' venue, so along with my husband, came Mackenzie the Wacky Pup.

Here is Mackenzie sitting under her portrait

My son brought Holley, his 100 lb German Shepherd / Rottie mix

and my sister came with Zora, her 130 lb German Shepherd / Yeti mix.

All the dogs were wearing their "Wacky Pup" bandana - Directions for making a bandanna for your dog, cat or even yourself are on WackyPup.com All those people and dogs in one 10' x 10' display area LOL . . . most people were not too intimidated to come in and look at the art. The majority of the shoppers had their own dogs, too. All in all, a lot of fun.

I took a couple photos of some dogs that I think will make good paintings, but I got very interested in babies in strollers. For one thing, the strollers are amazing looking now - some look like you could take them off-road - and if you put an engine on them, the whole family could ride LOL. But mostly I was interested because the babies are always either trying to get out, or sitting in funny positions.
