As some of you may have noticed, I'm concentrating a lot on getting my artwork in galleries and shows. I've decided to no longer offer pet photo days at local pet stores and grooming shops. I have a photo studio here in Placerville for those who would like a photographic portrait. I'm also taking orders for oil paintings now until November 15th for art given as Christmas gifts.
