100 Dog Works in 100 Days

One of my favorite living artists, Carol Nelson recently held a challenge on her blog that she would paint 100 portraits in 100 days.  Her followers sent her photographs to use for this challenge.

I have decided to try something similar.  I plan to create 100 doggie paintings in 100 days either for my Dr. Theordore Bear Doggie Appropriated Paintings, or for Little Angel's Doggie Library.  If you have a dog photograph that you would like to see used in this please email it to profkenglish@gmail.com.  If I use your photo I will send you a free greeting card of your pet's image in my artwork.  I am on day two of the challenge.  The first image was for little Angel's Dog Library and was Ohby Quick or the Cat, a doggie version of Moby Dick.  Today's doggie artwork is on Dr. Bear's Blog, Marcella de Veste by Pooche Fishen.
I am hoping to receive a photo from you soon!

Alphonse Mucha Designs

One of my favorite artists is Mucha.  I love the colors and patterns in the works as well as female forms.
The style of Mucha, a Czech artist who lived between 1860 to 1939 became a well known decorative artists who was made famous in Paris at the end of the nineteenth century.

Today Alphonse Mucha is recognized for the bridge he created between high art and commercialism.  He straddled both worlds as he created illustrations, and at the same time produced historic Paintings which were important to the Czech art history.  The Sara Bernhardt poster is one such example.

The Angelita painting is an original painting which was inspired by Mucha's style.  This digital painting of Teddybear Grams is an Appropriated Muncha Puppy Painting by that Austrailian Shepard, Alpha Munchy.
