Wondering what all the buzz 🐝is about? It’s time for Portland Audubon’s Wild Arts Festival starting today through Nov 22nd. 10% of all artists sales during the event go to support Portland Audubon and the good work they do throughout the year. Just enter WAF2020 at checkout on their site or any participating artists’s website. Do it for the birds and, of course, the bees. 💪 #natureartist #wildartsfestival2020 #birdartist #conservationart #bumblebees #artshows https://www.instagram.com/p/CHlAcAwnziz/?igshid=7n4ktvd1seox

And another in person first for me. An Alma Tadema. 💜 The Anton Mauve and Velazquez, weren’t bad either. I died. 🙌 #twodogstudio #cincinnatiartmuseum #artmuseum #selftaughtartist #masterpieces https://www.instagram.com/p/BoNIWiFhf7M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12pq264wk4nkk

One of the most common questions I am asked is where did I study to which I am forced to admit that I am self taught. I’ve come to realize that that is not entirely true. I look at good art. A lot of good art whenever I can. Today I was fortunate enough to see my first Fantin-Latour in person which was just 🙌. Also a sweet painting by Henry Landseer that made me tear up. And the big surprise was this amazing painting from an artist I have never heard of, Jules Adolph Aime Louis Breton, that just blew me away. It was a very inspirational and educational day to be sure. 💜💜💜 #stlartmuseum #artmuseum #selftaughtartist #oilpaintings #twodogstudio https://www.instagram.com/p/BoFW_B-hdJ6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ujgo0koo5gjx

It wouldn’t be Portland without a parrot coming through your booth. Oh, and the squirrel on a leash but I wasn’t fast enough with my camera for that one. Stop by the always amazing Art in the Pearl now through Monday. Booth N101. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMgHtbh_5F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bcxru53h3hh6

Day2 is just beginning at the Salem Arts Festival so swing in to Booth 67. Also, check out this amazing print I was gifted by the brilliant artist Janice Bond! I love it soooo much! Check her out at Booth 101 here in Salem or online. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Oh, and I also have a booth this weekend at the Gig Harbor Arts Festival so if you are in the area you can get stocked up on some Two Dog swag at Booth 26. 🤟

Creating a small Remarque print run of this latest piece. Each print is getting a hand drawn little fox to go along with the signature. Come and get em’ while they last. Available only at my summer festivals or via email if you’re really nice. 😉 #twodogstudio #fox #remarque #firefly
