GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

IT IS STILL CLOUDY TODAY, BUT I HAVE SOME HOPES OF SEEING THE SUNSHINE.  THERE IS NO WIND IN THE PONDEROSA FOREST THIS MORNING AND IT IS 61 DEGRESS, I LOVE IT. NO RAIN YET.

ARTWORK

I DID REBOOT MY SITE AS SUGGESTED THIS MORNING. I WAS ABLE TO ADD PRINCIE AGAIN TO THE TOP OF MY PAGE BY USING THE COMPUTER, BUT IT STILL HAS MY PHOTO IMAGE URL AS INVALID.  I WILL KEEP THIS ONE GOING. I SURE WOULD LIKE ALL OF THOSE PICTURES RESTORED THOUGH THAT ARE MISSING.

ON TO NEW THINGS!

ADDING THIS SITE HAS MESSED UP MY BLOG. SOME OF MY PICTURES HAVE DISAPPEARED. WHEN I TRY TO ADD THEM IT TELLS ME THE URL IS NOT VALID. IT WILL NOT LET ME ADD NEW PICTURES. I NOW WANT TO GET RID OF THIS PICASA SITE.

ARTWORK

I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON A SEWING ART PROJECT. I WILL ADD SOME PAINT DETAILS TO THE FACES OF THESE CUTE PUPS.  THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO BE A TOTE BAG.  IT IS FUN TO CREATE IT. 
I STOPPED PAINTING TEMPORARILY BECAUSE I AM OUT OF GRAPHITE PAPER, AN ESSENTIAL FOR ME.

GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

I'VE BEEN SO BORED, IT HAS BEEN RAINING FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS, WHAT IS A DOG TO DO? THE PONDEROSA FOREST IS WET WET WET!

GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

IT IS RAINING CATS AND DOGS TODAY! 

NAP TIME!

GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

TODAY THE SUN IS SHINNING! I'VE HAD MY WALK AND NOW TO SUN BATH.  I DON'T SEE A CLOUD IN THE SKY.  IT IS CURRENTLY 65 DEGREES WITH SOME RAIN PREDICTED.

GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

THIS IS THE ULTIMATE DOG WEATHER! COOL 70 DEGREES AND NOT RAINING.  I AM JUST DIGGING IT TODAY HERE WITH THE PONDEROSA'S!

ARTWORK

THIS IS BONAE.  SHE IS A PRECIOUS DOG, WATERCOLOR ON 140LB PAPER.  I ENJOYED PAINTING HER PICTURE.

ARTWORK

BOBO OUR TABBY CAT, TURNED OUT WELL.  I USED WATERCOLOR AS THE BASE WITH ACYRLIC DEFINING COLORS.  I HOPE TO DO MORE CATS IN THE FUTURE. THERE ARE MANY IN SHELTERS WHO NEED HOMES.  TO PURCHASE HIM GO TO RTIST.COM , ARIZONAGAL.  THE PROCEDES GO TO SECOND CHANCE CENTER FOR ANIMALS, FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA.

GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

WHAT DO I SMELL, SQUIRREL!  PESKY WAS EATING MY BFF'S PETUNAS; I ALMOST CAUGHT HIM IN THE ACT.  WELL I WILL BE ON ALERT TODAY.  IT HAS BEEN RAINING LIGHTLY THIS MORNING, COOL AND BREEZY. THE PONDEROSA'S REALLY SMELL GOOD!

ARTWORK

WE ARE HAVING COMPANY FROM YUMA TOMORROW, SO I WON'T START MY PAINTING OF BOBO.  HE WAS A GREAT CAT AND WORTHY OF ANY TABBY LOVER. I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES, AS HE TOO HAS LONG FUR!

GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

I WAS UP EARLY THIS MORNING AND READY FOR MY WALK.  IT WAS GREAT, COOL AIR, AND LOTS OF NEW SMELLS!  I HAD TO GET MY PATIO TIME IN AFTER THAT, THOSE RAIN CLOUDS WERE BUILDING.  IT TURNED OUT THAT WE DID NOT HAVE ANY RAIN, BUT TO MY SURPRISE I GOT MY MONTHLY BATH FROM MY BFF!  WOW I WAS SOAKED.

TUFFY

TUFFY WAS A RESCUE DOG IN ARIZONA. HE WAS BROUGHT FOR THE KIDS, BUT LIKED MOM BEST! HIS NEXT FAVORITE WAS DAD.  HE ALWAYS GOT A TRIM IN THE SUMMER TIME , THIS SHOWS HIS FULL COAT.  HE WAS EASIER TO DO BECAUSE I HAD EXPERIENCE WITH MY PAINTING OF PRINCIE.  HE CAN BE PURCHASED ON RTIST.COM KEYWORD ARIZONAGAL.  THE PROCEEDS GO TO SECOND CHANCE CENTER FOR ANIMALS, FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONA.
ENJOY!

TUFFY

TODAY I AM WORKING ON A WATERCOLOR PAINTING OF OUR POMERANIAN, TUFFY. I EXPECT IT WILL BE A CHALLENGE AS HE HAS LOTS OF HAIR.  IT MAY TAKE ME MORE THAN ONE ATTEMPT. I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED.

GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

I'm on the patio today, and yes just getting as much sun as possible, before the rain begins.  Ugh! 86 degrees today.  Stay cool!

ARTWORK

TODAY I COMPLETED DEMURE GERTIE. SHE LOVES TO POSE FOR THESE PAINTINGS. SHE IS DONE IN WATERCOLOR ON 140 LB PAPER.  GERTIE WAS RESCUED FROM THE DES MOINES, IOWA SHELTER WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD.

GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

TODAY IT IS RAINING HERE IN THE NORTHERN ARIZONA PONDEROSA FOREST.

Teddy Bear

This is Teddy Bear, a wonderful, lovable cat who lives in Colorado with adoptive parents.  He is done in watercolor/acyrlic on 140 lb watercolor paper. In real life he is a bit lighter, but I don't think he will mind this likeness.  It was fun creating him.

GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

TODAY IN THE PONDEROSA FOREST OF NORTHERN ARIZONA IT IS HOT!  89 DEGREES IS EXPECTED.  AS FOR ME I AM ENJOYING THE ENTERIOR OF MY HOUSE IN A/C.
THE CLOUDS ARE ALSO BUILDING, WE ARE HOPING FOR THAT RAIN, WHICH SEEMS TO ELUDE US.  I'M JUST TAKING IT EASY, AND HOPE YOU ARE COOL AND NAPPING TOO!

Tahoe

Tahoe is finally finished. She was  done with watercolor, watercolor pencils, and acyrlic on 140lb paper. Check out Rtist.com for information on purchasing her.

Her fur was the hardest thing to accomplish.  I am happy with the results.

GERTIE THE WEATHER PUP

IT'S TRYING VERY HARD TO RAIN.  I WAS PLANNING ON TAKING MY DAILY SUNBATH ON THE PATIO, BUT IT HAS ALREADY BEGAN TO SPRINKLE.  IT SURE IS WARM ENOUGH, THE WEATHER BUREAU REPORTS 81 DEGREES.  OH WELL THERE IS ALWAYS TOMORROW!

ARTWORK

I AM WORKING ON TAHOE, TEDDY BEAR IN WATERCOLOR. THERE FUR WILL BE A CHALLENGE AS BOTH HAVE SHORT HAIR.

A ROCK PICTURE OF CLEO IS ALSO BEING CREATED FOR OUR FLOWER GARDEN.

Gertie The Weather Pup

Today, it is great outside, my bff  went with me for my morning walk.  The sun is out, the air is cool and it is breezy.  I love it. No rain forcast for today in the northern Arizona ponderosa forest.

Tahoe

I'm starting a watercolor of Tahoe, a very shy cat, who lives with his bbf Julie in Colorado.  He is a beautiful gray and white beauty.


I also added Sparky to my rtist.com site.  He is an original Second Chance for Animals dog who has been adopted , Yippe!

Gertie

Gertie our bassethound was a good subject for my latest watercolor on 140 lb paper as shown on rtist.com. She possed  in the photo taken two days ago which was used to create her painting.  I used some stippling this time and it has worked out well.

Gertie The Weather Pup

Gertie the Weather Pup:  Today the rain clouds are building.  I loved the rain yesterday, and hope it does the same today here in the ponderosa forest. It is cool and dry now.

Gertie The Weather Pup

Gertie the Weather Pup reports:
 Plenty of rain today in northern Arizona, or in other words just like Cats & Dogs! She also reports the earth smells so good, clean dirt!  It has been dry for so long, she says her heels usually kick up fine dirt.

As for me I have been working with watercolor, my blog heading is Princie, our border collie.  She was difficult to create at first.  I took this image from a photo of her.  I had trouble getting the right look.  I was happy with the 5th try outcome.
