Merv and I are at it again. My hooman girl is all wrapped up in some Hairy Potty book this weekend (she's a geek), so we have been left to our own devices for entertainment. Merv has been on my back about posing for him for a portrait (he works in oils and watercolors), and this weekend was as good as any.
Merv does not like to be distracted while in the throes of his creative process. Here is a rare photo I snapped of him in his studio. (I have no idea where he got that moustache).
The likeness between him and Salvador Dali is frightening!
He has done several pieces based on my one sitting. He is very proud of this particular rendering of my countenance. It is a nod to his impressionist leanings. (It's an original - see his signature in the corner)?
He has a couple of others that are more Modernist renditions. (He was at his easel for hours while I sat naked, cold, and unmoving in his studio). Maybe he'll let me share those with you at another time.
Love,
Stanley

Hey, Everydog and Girl Girl!
Kudos and much love to my second fave hooman (after my girl), Aunty Darla for her Photoshop editorial stylings. (I promised to give her artistic credit for her work - my girl is hopeless with Photoshop).
Goober love,
Stanley
Hey Stanny...
That picture is the bestest!!! Merv is so talented. My Mom is reading Hairy Potter too...she's practically ignoring me right now. Hey, now's as good a time as any, maybe I should come and visit you? How far away IS Kansas from California..not too far right, I can be home before dinner???

Merv is a very talented artist! I'm not into Harry Potter books nor is my mommy. Coz I can;t read & usually I need my mommmy's help to read it & explain to me what it means line by line. But she's not! I'd love to know what's sooo great about Harry Potter. Why's everybody sooo crazy over him?
Love licks,

I may just have to get myself a cat.

Wow! I can tell competition for Nanook's contest is going to be intense! These are great pictures!
My Mom is an idiot when it comes to photoshop, too! We always have to ask Ruby's Mom, Michele, for help ;)
I'm so sorry that your girl is reading that silly Potty book. It seems every hooman has forgotten about their responsibilites to us doggies!
Oh, and I love the painting! Your Merv is SO talented!
Many Puggy kisses xoxo
