Barrie Barnett, Easton, Maryland, in her bio in Dogs In Review, wrote: When people ask how long it takes to complete a painting, I tell them “three weeks and 30 years,” as experience needs to be factored in. My advice for those considering a career in canine art is to master photography, study the basics of good painting and drawing, know your market, put samples out there and keep your prices low until demand for your work is greater than your ability to produce it. Cultivate patience, an understanding of dog behavior, and a sense of humor – it’s not an easy vocation, but it is full of rewards.

Sally Berner, Green Bay, Wisconsin starts her bio in Dogs In Review with: When I was child my mother encouraged me to work on my budding art skills. She had a treasured collection of old Frank Baum Oz books and I did colored pencil drawings of many of the Oz characters to enter into county fair competition. They accuse me of tracing, but I guess I could take that as a compliment. In 1975 I purchased my first Golden Retriever, and since then have always had at least one Golden in my life, I am involved with the Golden Retriever Rescue of Wisconsin. I’m definitely hooked on Goldens.

My new favorite magazine, Dogs in Review, ran a feature on canine artists in the 2009 Annual. Scattered throughout upcoming weeks, I will share various artists. Joseph H Sulkowski of Franklin, Tennessee ended his bio with: My career as an artist has had its own evolution. My passion began with the human figure where all artistic challenges are met. I find that my knowledge of anatomy, for, action, line, rhythm, color, atmosphere, and perspective and a lifetime of observation and contemplation come together in each stroke I lay down upon the canvas. If I had one wish, it would be that each of us could find and develop our individual passion and bring the essence and experience of being alive to the journey we have chosen.

Katy, the daughter of Papillion Melissa, interned at the grooming shop this summer. She draws these wonderful fantasy creatures. The week I was in Pennsylvania, she spent a day at the shop with Carol. This was waiting for me upon my return.
