She was very sick and we had to make the decision to let her be at peace. She was a river dog and loved going on kayaking trips. She traveled everywhere with my family. Many people treated her like their very own dog and for that reason, I feel the need to post this. We will all miss her smiling face at the put-in's and take-outs. We will miss her disgusting tennis ball in our laps, and we will most of all miss her unconditional love. Please remember all the good times we had with Pepper. She is at peace now. <br /><br />-Christina Russell<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SyNG148IzPI/AAAAAAAAGUY/asfnQzoyIVU/s1600-h/IMG_5193.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SyNG148IzPI/AAAAAAAAGUY/asfnQzoyIVU/s400/IMG_5193.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414249068661099762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SyNG1dWhV9I/AAAAAAAAGUQ/FZdCUsTc5dg/s1600-h/DSC_0072.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SyNG1dWhV9I/AAAAAAAAGUQ/FZdCUsTc5dg/s400/DSC_0072.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414249061255567314" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SyNG1IGj8-I/AAAAAAAAGUI/QC7wTta5r5c/s1600-h/IMG_2046+(2).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SyNG1IGj8-I/AAAAAAAAGUI/QC7wTta5r5c/s400/IMG_2046+(2).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414249055551484898" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SyNG09Fdc8I/AAAAAAAAGUA/PJHiJNBnTcA/s1600-h/DSC_0096.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 246px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SyNG09Fdc8I/AAAAAAAAGUA/PJHiJNBnTcA/s400/DSC_0096.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5414249052594074562" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38052356-7963388847324009966?l=nitrosisterart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christina Russellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08003472650218284022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38052356.post-48093153230403909402009-12-01T11:36:00.000-08:002009-12-01T11:48:01.467-08:00<span style="font-weight:bold;">Thanks to a fan!</span><br /><br />This is a photo sent in from a fan who previously purchased artwork from me.

For the time being they hang on the wall and I think about what to do. <br /><br />Question to anyone that reads my blog...DOES anyone read my blog? ha ha ha this blog is really for me but sometimes it's nice to know that the blog isn't a TOTAL waste of time.

I've got nine paintings going right now. Some are ready for their next coat of paint while others have been drying for three weeks and still aren't ready. Gotta love oil. I've been having a great time painting in the evenings...sure does help me relax after a long day at work. The completed versions will eventually be posted...but until then, we have to wait for things to dry out :D <br /><br /><div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Arucaria Silouettes ...</i>this one blinds my eyes while I paint!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SkB6VCmviJI/AAAAAAAADZE/Eu9Mos0loS8/s1600-h/DSC_0001.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SkB6VCmviJI/AAAAAAAADZE/Eu9Mos0loS8/s400/DSC_0001.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350410859211360402" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(Below) Arbor Tree Grove- </i>my mom's painting for the Daff</div></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SkB6U7IsW4I/AAAAAAAADY8/Gg5alSkyrHk/s1600-h/DSC_0003.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 268px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SkB6U7IsW4I/AAAAAAAADY8/Gg5alSkyrHk/s400/DSC_0003.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350410857206274946" /></a><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38052356-2515674863168153522?l=nitrosisterart.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christina Russellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08003472650218284022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38052356.post-915921996722021542009-06-03T21:31:00.000-07:002009-06-03T21:44:06.379-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SidPxOAx07I/AAAAAAAADRw/HUIzV5qm60Q/s1600-h/DSC_0720.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_6EQxHQICRMA/SidPxOAx07I/AAAAAAAADRw/HUIzV5qm60Q/s400/DSC_0720.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343327189891929010" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Pyranha of Doom</span><br />Watercolor and india ink<br />Prints available<br /><br />I did this one last week while I had the flu...icky!
