Same dog….Different portrait! I was asked in April to create a Color Fusion of this little guy who is a mix between a Lhasa Apso and a Poodle. The long haired dogs are a real challenge, but we were both pleased with the result. Then right before the holiday he sends me some new pictures of his pup. You guessed it….he wanted a “before and after”. So cute!

I have really gotten into “re-purposing” my art lately. For instance, my Color Fusion series, with all of the colorful animals, starts with an abstract painting. I then collage little bits of that painting into an image until I get the final piece. So I can offer the abstract as a stand alone painting, but use it again and again to create new work! This piece displayed here is a composite of another “bit” that started out as a rejected portion of another art piece. One painting’s trash is another creation’s treasure. 🙂 It’s all just continuing the good vibrations…

Many years ago, I used to do this really cool collaboration work with other artists. Each of us would take a few weeks collecting “stuff” to send to the other artist. The challenge was that we had to create a mixed media piece using EVERYTHING the other artist sent. You could add to it, but you could not leave anything that they sent out. This piece is a result of an exchange of goodies with Canadian artist Geraldine Gracia.
