First Friday - May 7th

Currently I am showing at D Gallery, 3558 Navajo - some aspen scenes which will be showing there for another week to ten days. All of these paintings were painted in plein air. I'll be hanging new work for the next First Friday on the 7th of May. Come join the party. If you haven't been to D Gallery as yet you will be delighted with their presentation of all the artists' works.

I am also showing a group of paintings at Sports Optical. They are located at
4337 Tennyson ...... just a few buildings south of the 44th Street intersection on the west side of the street. They are open Tuesdays through Saturdays....closed on Sunday and Monday. They will open, too, on First Friday, May 7th. Most of my work there has been painted en plein air in the neighborhood.

The final touches on a portrait are always the most important ones. What gorgeous animals!!!!

Dakota In the Wintertime

I had such a great time working on this painting.......Dakota looks like a very special pet! I'm also excited about doing another portrait of him....a headshot.....I'll post it once I get it done.

Pet Portraits

I have been very busy creating dog portraits and also creating two masks for the upcoming "Mask Project" which benefits The Denver Hospice. One is on behalf of Dana Crawford....she pioneered the redevelopment of Denver's historic Larimer Square in the mid l960's. The other one is on behalf of Richard Scharf, President and CEO of the Denver Convention and Visitor's Bureau. The Gallery of Masks opens in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center on April 1, 2010 and the online auction will be unveiled and open for bids April 1 - April 20, 2010 at www.themaskproject.org. Contact me via e-mail if you would like me to create a portrait of your pet!!!(duzart@comcast.net)
