Charcoal Dog Study II 7x10

7 x 10 inches Acrylic mixed media on paper As I prepare for my May 2025 collection, I keep coming back to the word pursuit. Nothing embodies that spirit quite like the sheer joy of a dog in full chase. Watching my own dogs, Cotton and Rudy, race through our backyard after squirrels, I am struck by their energy, instinct, and unwavering focus. That inspiration drives these studies—each one an exploration of movement, form, and the thrill of the chase. With every piece, I fill the page with as many versions of them as I can, capturing their endless excitement in motion.
