Elizabeth Pollie. Amazing person. Stunning artist. Just look at this image of Charlie, our Jack Russell… in his favorite position looking out the sunroom windows… watching for those “kitty cats” that make him run from room to room having a big time!… Elizabeth had seen this photo and asked if I could send it to her, if it would be OK to paint a study of him. Absolutely! She called them studies. I called them masterpieces! Each one was so spectacular it truly boggled the mind. Clearly Charlie and Elizabeth have a connection!
Meet “Study 17” by Elizabeth! Whoa, right! I’ll never forget when she posted it on Facebook. We were speechless. At first I thought it was the photo, and then I noticed the background which I love so very much! This is SO CHARLIE, isn’t it? She captured his very essence without ever meeting him! Look at the hair! How? Isn’t there a magical quality to this painting? Charlie looks like he could turn his head and look at you, doesn’t he? The background is so stunning. I love how Elizabeth eliminated the clutter and left the heart and soul… We will love this painting forever and ever!
Elizabeth is an amazing person, if you ever get a chance to meet her I highly suggest it. She is full of life. If you’re in the Harbor Springs, Michigan area, she has a gorgeous gallery there ELIZABETH POLLIE FINE ART. Please do stop by and say hello!
Recently she was on blog talk radio for ARTISTS HELPING ARTISTS with host Leslie Saeta… I listened to the interview. It was fabulous! For those of you who love art, I highly suggest listening to the weekly ARTISTS HELPING ARTISTS show, and if you can’t listen to it live, they archive the programs, so you can listen later! Artists Helping Artists is the #1 Art Show on Blog Talk Radio! It’s easy to see (or hear) why!
Catch you back here tomorrow!

Barbara, what a fine surprise to wake up and read your VERY
generous description of me and my art. Charlie looked so irresistible in this photo I couldn’t help but want to paint him. It has always been so evident that you and Fred adore him and that made the experience all the more rich, and maybe a little more nerve racking. I loved the photo for so many reasons. The light, the abstract qualities and the over all attentive yet calm look on the beast’s face. Since it was not a commission it freed me up in so many ways. You and Fred have been so sweet and enthusiastic with your response to this piece. That is a huge reward. I feel very lucky!
