An awesome idea! Actually, I have trouble choosing my subject matter (there are just SO many things I want to paint), so this challenge is perfect for me! Focus at last! And I love the fact that you started it off with your beloved Jack....

Just had this passed on to me from Lara, whose beautiful painting is already on display here! I've long adored your work, Karin.....been a secret admirer for a while now! Would love to get involved with this challenge!

Mona said...

If six wonderful paintings of Jack have already arrived in just one day, this is a great day in art blogging history, and I can't wait to see tomorrow's paintings too!

Dee Sanchez said...

Karen,
I have tons of work to do, but looks like fun and could get us out of our comfort zones. Nice idea and I'll chime in when I can.

Hi Karin,
I am having e-mail trouble ... UGHHHHHH! And I guess my e-mails & images have not made there way to you. :-( I did paint your beloved Jack & would love to share it on your blog. Feel free to take it off the site. Or hopefully I will get my e-mail going SOON! :-) Thanks for the fun opportunity.

:-) Elizabeth

WOW, this is amazing! What a concept! I'm so sorry, however, that you've lost your beloved Jack. This is a beautiful way to immortilize him! My heart is with you in this difficult time. Jeanne

Mona said...

I can't get over all the wonderful interpretations that just keep rolling out. It is beautiful to see how everyone sees Jack. I'm sure it touches Karin deeply to see how caring all these responses are.

luc said...

The simple ideas are always the best ! :-)
Great idea to connect people.

LCNeill said...

I loved to see all the interpretations and mediums used. Excellent!

Sharon Wright said...

I thought this was a brilliant idea when Susan Carlin did it a few weeks ago, but well done Karin for taking it a step further. I shall follow with interest.
My sympathies to you just now, the world should have stopped, right?
Best wishes
Sharon

Alice Thompson said...

Everyone is Amazing! I am reminded how special Art really is. Each piece has it's own unique feeling... that no doubt is a part of the artist emotion. I've enjoyed visiting all of your blogs and websites. I'm sure all us are learning from this. Thank you Karin and to all the artist who made this project such a joy!

Erika Nelson said...

Wow some really special pieces here! Interesting different designs going on, I can't wait to do mine, but I have to wait.

Jeanne Bauer said...

WOW! jb

What a totally awesome idea, Karin. I so much enjoy seeing the other artist's perspective. And lucky you to have such wonderful momentos of your sweet dog!

This Painting Life said...

Karin, I think this is such a good idea, the variety of interpretations is fascinating.

cFeldperson said...

Thanks, Karin, for this challenge. I have been trying to start painting again after a long time away and I guess I just needed someone else to tell me to do it!
I have been a silent fan of yours for some time and love being able to see what you have been doing.
Sweet dog. You made a good team.

What a great group of paintings. I scroll down and want to say this piece is may favorite - then I see two more I like. I hope you continue the idea. Good tribute to the dog and his master.
