So far I have completed 18 paintings, one of which is sold. Another is going to my picture-framer as a barter payment. It’s been a ton of fun but I’m still only about a half to two-thirds of where I would like to be with them.
Then, of course, there is the matter of this website which is very much under construction and requires that I learn new skills in order to set it up and manage it. I suppose that the discipline is good for me but frankly, I’d rather spend the time painting.
We think of animals as having relatable emotions, which of course they do. We think of them as symbols of concepts like peace, strength, truth, and harmony. I try not to think too much. I want to feel the energy and flow of the physical act painting and I think I just like painting animals.
Really enjoying the painting part, wish me luck on the website. – LooseCanine

LooseCanine likes to paint animals and thinks of them as having relatable emotions. It thinks of them as symbols of peace, strength, truth, harmony, and chaos.
LooseCanine paints energy and traces its constant flow and stir. It’s about moving paint over a hard surface, making lines and shapes and piling on layers until the work is finished with its maker. It typically uses a combination of artists’ acrylic and latex house paint on hard surfaces. The overall image quality is somewhere between wood-cut printing and random doodling.
While too many to count, it draws from influences that include native American art, wood-cut printing and engraving, stained glass, mosaic, and on occasion, Dr. Seuss illustrations. LooseCanine thinks like a dog, which is not too much. It would rather play.
Its heroes are Lassie, Toto, Rin-Tin-Tin and Old Yeller. - L/C
