Miss Barbara Paints a Grayhound!!!???


Now whats this about? Obviously Miss Barbara has been shanghaied by some Grayhound people! This is Zooey and this painting is quite a large painting. Miss Barbara works smaller usually but this painting (20 x 22 inches) was fun to paint and Miss Barbara did a fabulous job!
Miss Barbara gets a lot of requests for commission work now that she's slowed down a bit. Sooooo.... she's painting some other breeds. Maybe her next book will have some of her other paintings of other dogs as well as more Airedale paintings!
She also did another painting of an Airedale which I will post soon. Our cafepress store is zooming right along just as it does every Christmas. And now Miss Barbara is doing a Christmas commission. Hope all is well with all of those who love doggies...
Oh and thank you to those of you bid on the "Miss Barbara Paints the Airedale Terrier" book it was a success and ATRA is receiving a nice tidy sum of about $23.00 to help pay for rescue dogs and their upkeep.

Ok, now we're in business! Here's our LINK to Amazon.com and our new book! If you do buy through this link, please leave a review so that our book will be noticed by more Airedalers. We'll start adding in new paintings here as time permits. We will be showing Airedales and other dogs as well. We're going to be spending some time designing our new book, which will be a childrens book. Probably you can read it to your 'Dales also.

We Published our Book!!!


Hi all! Well we did it! We finally were able to publish our first book. I wrote the text and Barbara (of course), supplied the Airedale Pictures. We put 50 different paintings into our book with comments under each. In the book we celebrate the Airedales wonderful sense of fun and it's loving and forgiving nature. Here's a link to buy the book, available through Amazon.com's subsidiary, Createspace.com. We're also excited because it turns out that we will also be shown in the Amazon marketplace as well.
And here's the cover image.

It was valentine's day. And mom had up the valentine quilt, the rug, the heart stencil on the door and the roaring fire in the fireplace so that things were nice and toasty. Also for a valentine gift Maggie and Mitch shared a little stuffed airedale puppy toy! Isn't life just wonderful when you have such a kindly and sweet mom!
This was my latest commission for Maggie and Sue. I really enjoyed going "wild" with some patterns, colors and forms. This is more my impressionist or "folky style" of painting.

Airedale Ice Cream!



With springs promise of summer days fast appoaching I decided to post one of my favorite paintings. I love pink, and lavender.... Oh and airedales and ICE CREAM! Apparently so did this florida airedale whose photo inspired me. Many of the airedale's best qualities are on display here. First there is sillyness, then there is sweetness, then there is kissyness, and finally let's not forget big pink tongues and huge wet black noses!

Love Dale!


In my opinion, airedale terriers are the most loyal, lovey, and kissy dogs of any breed! In this painting I wanted to show some of that true deep inner loveyness of the airedale. He or she will live or die for you. Can you see it in this face?
