An Original Pencil Drawing of a Golden Lab

From My Online Art


This is a pencil drawing of a dog friend of mine. His name is Coach. He is very good at posing. In fact, for a treat, he will learn a variety of tricks. I did a digital painting from my drawing titled, "Good Boy, Coach!" I like my pencil drawing the best, though, because it captures his happy and pleasant personality.

I also have an online store, Gail Alexander's, whose merchandise features my original artwork, and that of my daughter, Gina Nicole.

FYI: A Controversial Post about Social Networking

I wanted to share this post about Facebook and social networking in general.

Good boy, Coach! by Gail Alexander

Good boy, Coach©2008 Gail Alexander


I created this digital painting from a pencil drawing that I had made of a dog that I was petsitting. It is titled "Good boy, Coach!" He posed very nicely for me. It is very hard to get animals to stay still for even 10 seconds!

Anyway I am using this image on my new Cafepress store's merchandise. My store is called Gail Alexander's. It's URL is http://www.cafepress.com/gailalexander

Happy Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day is a fun holiday. I'm an art teacher and I usually have an art activity to celebrate with the kids. Of course the art lesson includes content about mammals, hibernation, weather, and the seasons.
