Pace is fully adopted now and I’ve put him to work as my studio assistant. I am having difficulty convincing him to file my papers. He seems to prefer to sniff my paints, lick my watercolor paper and critique my work. He feels I should paint more animals and not too many flowers.

Since I need marketing advice on what type of subject matter sells I am taking the beagle’s advice and painting animals.

I am working on this boho elephant, using lots of thin glazes of watercolor + raspberry ink and white paint.
