Merry Christmas Original Watercolor by JC Strong

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to everyone, especially those of you that have been following this blog.

I’m grateful for the people that have taken the time to follow my virtual art journey and it’s also a pleasure to follow other people, artists, and artisans on their personal creative travels. I know it takes time to follow, read, and digest all the material on the web. So I appreciate all of my virtual art friends.

It’s good to know that art is going strong. May the coming New Year bring good health, good luck and of course artful discoveries.

Art Inspiration, Dog Art and Halloween

I went to my local art supply store and all the Halloween items were out. I had no icons of the holiday, so I did a watercolor memory of “Maddie” and turned it into a greeting card.

One year all the dogs in the neighborhood dressed up for Halloween. My neighbor's dog Maddie has such a sad face, she always looks like she has a tear in her eye but she’s a love able happy dog.

So now my Halloween tradition is I keep a supply of doggy treats for the four legged trick or treaters . . it’s all in fun and a joy to see . Inspiration and humor comes from everywhere! Hmm, I wonder what art historians would think of my "Halloween Dog Art." Just kidding... You can see this card in my Etsy Shop.
