Bug Light Sunset • 5×5 • oil on canvas • SOLD
I went to a movie night at Bug Light with my sister-in-law & niece & nephew & this was the sky we got to enjoy before “Frozen” started. Such a treat! It was if the sky was dancing & singing boldly, “Let it go, let it go!” 🙂

We got to witness the August full moon rising over Casco Bay & it was so gorgeous! Wow! It’s such a gift to call this place home.
Thank you!
Thank you all for your love & support! I was able to raise all of the moola needed to pay our Calvin vet bill. Thank you! I am so grateful for your positive thoughts, kind words & support of my artwork. XOXO
Calvin is doing ok. We tried to ween him off of his medication & ran into some trouble … his little body was in so much pain, we weren’t able to do it. He is back on a lower dosage for awhile & we are keeping him on strict doggy bed rest. His little spirits are good & he is enjoying all of the extra pets & cuddles. We also started some acupuncture treatments with him & he seems to be liking those. Our hope is that with a little more time & rest, his little body will heal to a point where he will not to be on medication and he can enjoy his neighborhood doggy walks again.
The Calvin Sale will run through September, so check it out, or email me to arrange a visit to the studio. XOXO Thanks again!

The Calvin SALE
While I was in Vermont last week enjoying some Summer fun at my family’s cottage on Lake Champlain, my pup, Calvin, got injured. There was no particular event or apparent reason for the injury, but Calvin just started screaming on our first morning there. We couldn’t tell if it was his head, neck, legs, or what. I checked him over & had him rest on his beddie. He seemed better for a little bit, but then he would move funny & start screaming again. I had never heard or seen a dog in pain like that–it broke my heart. I took him to the local vet & they said it looked like a back or neck injury & they gave him a painkiller & muscle relaxant & said with some rest he may improve … & if not to take him to a neurologist when we got home.
Long story short, Calvin did not require surgery & is now walking after a steroid treatment. He is still a little tired & weak in his legs, but his sassy little personality is back & we are so relieved. Calvin is supposed to lay low for 8 weeks & avoid jumping, climbing & play with his boisterous sister, Zoe. That will be a challenge … as will monitoring his reactive personality.It looked liked he was making headway, but Saturday morning after he went out to tinkle, he completely froze up. He couldn’t stand or walk at all. It was so scary. We grabbed him & headed over to the ER/Maine Veterinary Referral Center to have him checked out. He was in a lot of pain, terrified and couldn’t move. They told us it looked like a ruptured disc & that he’d likely need surgery. We left him there overnight for some tests & an MRI.
Between the 2 vet visits the tab came to over $3600. OUCH! To help offset the costs of the bills I am offering a crazy good CALVIN SALE on some of my larger pieces, as well as a 2 month payment plan, if needed. 🙂 If you have ever wanted a larger “EFraser” painting to hang on your wall, now would be the time!
