Looking Back to Look Forward


Your Dog Can Be a Masterpiece!

Reflecting on the past 3 months and looking ahead at the next 3 months got me thinking. I was creating artwork like crazy and you may not have seen some of the pieces. This video shares a few of the colorful animals that I painted the past several months. Just click and watch! Also, if you have any questions, please leave them in the comments on the video or respond to this email.

I am still learning how to make videos for YouTube, so any new subscribers are very appreciated. I would love to have all of you over there, as well.

I plan on making this my long-game plan for publicity for the future of my artwork career. Gone are the days of websites for many artists like me, who rely primarily on commissions and collaboration work. I love partnering up with dog organizations, dog rescues, or humane societies. If you have connections with any of these types of places, please let me know and I can discuss some options. Creative work is in my blood!

Future Artworks

I'm currently playing with a painting of 3 crows and looking forward to sharing it with you all first! You will get first dibs on it before I share it out with the public - just another perk of being one of my closest friends.

My new line of artwork will be more gestural and less focused on full realism. I don't mean I will be doing abstract work, but it will be more fun and loose in nature.

Your dog can be featured in my new line of artwork! I can't wait to reveal this in the coming weeks! 2026 will hold many new and exciting surprises.

For My New Subscriber Friends:

If you recently signed up, welcome to the place where all pet lovers can get some ideas for how their favorite furry friend can become the next great painting on their wall. I want to help you celebrate your furry, feathered or scaled friends in ART.

If you have any questions or would like to book your Christmas holiday gifts early, contact me ASAP for priority booking. I will not do commissions after Thanksgiving. I want to make sure you get your gifts before the holidays and I have this set as a cutoff date for shipping artwork.

You have ideas for what you would like for your home or as a gift. I can work with you to provide a one-of-a-kind gift for the dog-lovers in your life. I do pencil, charcoal, and other types of art to fit every budget. Just ask!

Artfully yours,

Rachel
