Oil on museum quality ampersand gessobord panel 8" x 10"I went to a Super Bowl party yesterday at the home of my friends, the Jokesters. Bless them for the invite, as we don't have television reception where we live. It's the price we pay for living in paradise. We are trying to get cable to come down our road but so far Comcast is not receptive to the idea. I don't really miss TV except for things like the Super Bowl and the Olympics, well, and the Food Network. Given that New Orleans is our second home, I need hardly say, a good time was had by all. Whoo Hoo! - Way to go Saints! Laissez les bons temps rouler!! Cheering on the Saints with us was one of the sweetest dogs on the planet, Marianne and Steve's Australian Shepherd named RibN. His appellation is derived from a ribbon of black fur that dissects his right side (or is it his left?). Aside from his good nature, he is a thing of beauty and I thought today would be a good day to reacquaint myself with the breed.

Wowwwww! BELLISSIMO, Mark!!! many hugs!!!
A beautiful boy! You've captured his breeds typical look.."The Eye".
Beautiful !!
Grazie molto, Arcobaleno.
Thanks, Diane. Aside from his fascinating coat of many colors, RibN's eyes, as you noticed, are a gorgeous spectral prism and good fun to paint.
Thanks, M.
Nothing to say but WOW!
How about "Bow wow?"
Thanks, Pat.
What a sweet face....what an expression he has....great work...love his markings too.
thanks, Cynthia.
A beautiful dog, beautifully painted.
Thanks, Don. I've been so busy with the move that I haven't had a chance to see what's been going on with my follow artists. Your painting of Winslow (Sunchaser) is breathtaking! Andrew Wyeth would be proud to call that composition his.
Mark!
A thing of beauty indeed!
Very well done!!

As soon as the picture came up, I knew this beautiful dog was an Australian Shepherd! We had one that was quite mottled - a "Blue". They are indeed gorgeous dogs, and so very intelligent! You can see that calm brightness in this dog's eyes too!
It is certainly interesting for me to read this blog. Thanks for it. I like such topics and anything connected to this matter. I definitely want to read more soon.
Best regards
Thanks, Dean! I haven't been called a thing of beauty in such a long time...Wait, what? OH! you mean the painting. Yeah, that's nice, too, I guess. thanks.
Thanks, Joanne. He is a handsome dog.
Thanks, Anonymous. It is my fervent desire to paint, write and post more in the near future. Keep checking in.
