He captures dogs in moments of interest and enjoyment, full of whimsy and wonder.<br />
<br />
After the Photokina event in September, Hahnemühle had a giveaway of some of the prints they featured at their booth. I was lucky enough to win one of Christian's prints.<br />
<br />
I love dogs, and I love his photos, so I was thrilled beyond measure to win.<br />

The good kind, not the 1984 novel kind. Mine watches over me, but only in the nicest of ways.<br />
<br />
He's a blogger like I am (an artist too, but he doesn't do enough with his talent!). He's a world traveler, who's been reporting on and teaching about International Investing for 50 years. These days his blog covers a range of subjects from natural foods, health, reducing stress, and International Investing. You have to admit it's a good mix. If you're concerned with finance, you need all that other stuff too!<br />
<br />
A couple of days ago, he featured my blog, so today I'm returning the favor.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I was playing around with the colors in two of Daniel Smith's new pan palettes, the 'Blues' and 'Earth' sets.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is also a destruction piece, in that I kept working it until I reached the limits of the paper. Papers react differently when they reach their limit. Some just get really ugly, turning the colors into mud. Some start to pill, bits of the paper actually tearing off. Others, as with this Britannia, just stop accepting color. I'd say the paper was average in reaching the limits of wet into wet and glazing both.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What I like best about this paper is that both the texture and surface sizing are great for dry brushing. I didn't do too much of that here because I was deliberately over-working, so I think I'm going to paint this subject again, in the near future, so I can take advantage of the paper's best features instead of exploring its limits.</div>

Yesterday, my hubby took a Gerbil in his lunch bag.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know that even though the Gerbil is a rodent, they are a distinct family different from rats?</div>

It was fun and I learned a lot, but the paintings weren't something I wanted to keep. I decided to do some negative painting and see what I could come up with.<br />
<br />
This is the one I liked the least. I'll share the others through out the week.<br />

I was sketching up on Powell Butte when I got the call that I needed to take my mother to the hospital. Originally this was to be a watercolor but I finished it up with Zebra Zensations Fineliners.<br />
<br />
It's on Hahnemühle Cornwall, which is watercolor paper, but it's a 210 lb weight and has a surface that works well for mixed media.<br />
