Description

I have always had the love of Corgis and a couple years back I decided to take up watercolor painting. I had been an artist since I was young and for many years did all kind of art but watercolors. Once I started to work in watercolors I fell in love with art again and between the love of the medium and the love of all dogs, and animals, I started painting a variety of dogs and wildlife. Then March 2020 hit and the COVID 19 crisis. We owned a retail shop and were forced to be shut down. Now with being closed up at home and nothing to do I decided to take the love of watercolor painting and the love of Corgis and combine the two. I thought it would be great to get photo images from people all over the world of their Corgis and paint them for a book. This is how the idea of "101 Corgis From Around The World in Watercolor" came about. That day I joined a couple Corgi sites on Facebook and put out that I was looking for photos and my concept. Little did I realize the power that the site has. The first day I received 280 photos. It took me awhile to go through them and started picking them out and thus the project began. It was a lot of fun and met some great people and their love of their Corgis shined through. I also was able to choose from people who had Corgis that had been in our store or met on the streets. In January 2021, less than a year later I finished all 101 paintings. It was a true love to do this and have people allow me to add their beautiful babies into my book. You will also find 4 of my own added. My beautiful Holly and Handsome Buddy that have already passed over the Rainbow Bridge and my two current, Chazeh & Willie that we adopted through Southeast Corgi Rescue. So sit back and enjoy my paintings and the great stories that the parents shared with me. I hope it will put a great Corgi smile on your face.
