Look at all those Cattle Dogs!
Do not ask me... I do not know how many, as whole bunch of the
is wandering all over the background.
It was fun (and long!) project to paint.
But now I'm finished.

Another silk scarf.
Just a snap shot of my new work in progress -
one more what I do for my dear friend, Karen.
Karen owns a bunch of those adorable rascals,
called "Australian Cattle Dogs".
I love those guys (almost as much as my schnauzers).
This will be a scarf with portrait of her dogs.
Something special what she will not be able to get any other way...
Much more work to do and I enjoy this work.

"Spring Joy". Silk painting.
My latest art project was another painting on silk.
I wanted to make something very different from just regular
"wall-hanging" piece of art, therefore I made it
to be wearable one.
I made one of my schnauzer-dog into my model
and added some bright tulips from the last spring photoshoot.
I love my dogs and I love my flowers!...
I combined both and got beautiful idea for this piece
what I called "Spring Joy".
This is a hand-painted with silk dyes one-of-a-kind scarf
decorated with spring blooms and pictures of dogs.
It is finished now and I only have to steam it in a day or two to set the colors.
I'm ready for the next project and ready for spring!

"Who is that pretty Girl?.." Pastel.
"Who is that pretty Girl?.."
11 x 14", Pastel on Pastelmat.
My latest schnauzer-project. Pastel pencil drawing on French paper.
This painting/drawing was very time consuming and will be not for sale.
Stages of this work in progress You can see below... Enjoy!
I started this work from careful drawing with using of ingenious grid method
introduced to me by my friend, very talented watercolor artists Larry Lombardo.
This is none-traditional grid what somewhat speeding things up with initial drawing.
I'm starting my drawing of general outlines with graphite pencil
and then finishing it with pastel pencil. All grid lines have to go.
When it comes to all those small pretty flowers, there is no way
and need to copy those with using of grid. I just had those drawn free-hand.
After m,y drawing was finished in pastel pencil,
I did alcohol wash over it, to make things more soft.
It also embeds pigment to the paper.
Next step - pastel pencils. I work in my very favorite brand Caran D'Ache.
Those are really amazing pencils, what I truly love and enjoy.
When I finished working with pencils, I did some dry-brush blending
where needed and finished this work with few touches of soft pastels.
Voila!
Here they are - my beautiful schnauzer girls - Gigi (on the left)
and Lusha (on the right).
This is my first work in new for 2014/2015 schnauzer series.
More will be coming. Stay tuned!

Pet Portrait in pastel.
"Abby", 12 x 9" on paper.
This is an Abby, she is a Norwich Terrier girl. My dear friend Christina, Abby's owner,
asked me last to pint her a picture of her "baby". I decided it will be a good reason
to try out my new pastel pencils and my Canson paper what I was hording in my art attic.
This is very popular paper for pastels ac charcoal, but I normally ignore it,
because of my love to play with all sorts of underpainting.
However for Abby it was a good choice - simple, yet - delicate.
I'm pleased with result and it was nice to take "vacation" away from my Oils.
Most impotently - my friend is very pleased with this portrait too.

My August solo show is going up!
Today is a Day.
I took over 20 my newest and best paintings to the gallery.
This will be my first solo show in United States. Pretty exiting!
My exhibition will be located at first floor of so called "2-nd Floor Gallery", Mechanicsburg, PA.
Artist reception will be held on August 21 from 7 to 10 PM.
Sure nothing could be simple and I just had to forget my latest painting at home.
I knew I will do something of this sort, so it was not big surprise, just one more trip back to Mechanicsburg. Sure, I'm curious to see how it will be looking on a wall, but I'll ave to wait week or so. Starting from tomorrow every morning I'll be running to State College for our annual workshop at Central Pennsylvania Pastel Society. What a month!

"Spots of Attitude" by Tatiana Myers. Oil Pastel WIP.
"Spots of Attitude" by Tatiana Myers20 x 16". Oil Pastel on Ampersand Pastel Board.
My latest project, WIP is an animal portrait. Very challenging for me, not because of an animal, but because of its size. My comfort zone used to be somewhat around 8x10" and/or smaller, but I'm in need of few bigger works for gallery representation. So I decided to give it a try. Portrait of Jaguar. Not sure yet, how I'll call this painting when it is finished.

One of my first Pet Portraits in Oil Pastel and how it was done.
I like to work with my photographs and after all turn some of the best ones into paintings... Since I only have as much time and so many things to do (try to plane you day around 20+ dogs, two horses, party-time job, all hobbies and yes, family!), I'm using a lot of digital images as reference for my art works. There are several ways to go about it and I will share with you some of them, when I have some extra pictures of work in progress... This one was my second attempt to do a pet portrait in Oil Pastel. I used Sennelier Plain Air set and Sennelier watercolor paper. Reference image was one of the shots our Wire Fox Terrier, Zippy, heaving good time with his toy.
First I cropped the photo to the exact create exact prototype of my future painting.
I used a Photoshop to put grid on his photo and separate it on smaller parts, what will make reference easier to handle. I did hand drown sketch from reference picture
and then rendered it in Sennelier's starting from background, then putting a layer of white pastel on image of dog, as a base color and then adding extra colors (browns, grays etc). I used a small piece of my eraser as blender to mix up layers and create a coat structure.
This particular work was done in size about 8 X 10 and finished at one evening... (OK, let be honest - way after midnight!)
