Jan's Art Journal






It is a sad time for us. Yesterday, our dear dog, Pumpkin, joined her sister in doggie heaven. At least, that's what I want to believe. It was a tough but loving decision. She was a great friend for almost 16 years. We'll miss her a lot.

I'm so glad I did a pastel painting of her a few years ago. I tried to sketch her while she was ill, but it was just too hard. All I could see were her bones.

I started doing pet pastels of other people's pets and discovered that many people didn't have decent pictures of them. I work off with some pretty questionable material. A word to the wise. Get some decent pictures of your pets while they are young and healthy. I have a number of pet friends on my website.
