Up early (-ish) this morning and back to the flyball tournament to take some more video. It doesn't seem as if I got as much today as I did yesterday. Tomorrow evening I will work on putting the clips together and post the resulting video here as well as on YouTube.
I probably could have slept in a wee bit, but there was a reason I wanted to get to the flyball tournament decently early this morning. A local artist was set up and I wanted to be first in line! He has been at a couple of dog shows and events, but it seems that whenever I run into him, something prevents me from stopping. Either no time, no money, or an already large line-up! He does great colorful portraits of dogs, cats, people, whatever. I got a portait of Gio a couple of years back at a flyball tournament he was set up at, so it was time to get one of Romeo done.
The artist is Ryan Schmidt from OokieOokie.com I just love his works, they are so bright and vibrant!
I left the flyball tournament around noon, ran home for a quick second, then had to dash off again for the Hub City Kennel Club classes from 1-5. Then a friend's birthday party this evening. I ditched out of that early as I was absolutely pooped and could not stop yawning. I almost can't wait for the normal work week to begin again so that I can get some normal rest time!
Here are a couple of quick pics that I was able to snap of some up-and-coming dogs on our flyball team. They were just at the tournament to soak up the atmosphere.
Aura - Rough Collie
Millie - American Eskimo
Monty - Hound cross

No matter if you two are in a photo,a painting, or in real life, I think you both are the most beautiful boys I have ever seen.

He did do a good job on those portraits!
very nice portraits!
I have had Ryan paint two of my dogs too- I love them! Your two look neat.
Lovely Portraits, i really like things like that.
I would like to get a painting or something done of my two together sometime.
I like Ryan's work, too. Looks like we kept missing each other this weekend. I didn't get there until after lunch Sunday. Oh well. We'll catch up on an ice cream night or something soon. Get some rest, D!
Those are great paintings and of coarse they had to be - just look at the subjects!
