Dog Blog Update.....& more

Hi guys...
well, dove has completed her recovery for her knee surgery. her recovery was a complete success! during the recovery process she was above average in healing; the vets attribute this to dogs who have surgery done very soon after the injury. we were very fortunate that they intentionally got her in asap due to the fact she's a service dog. I have been so happy that I went forward with this-- the relief that she's not in pain from the injury and that her recovery was so amazing has made it all worth while. her surgery occurred on the summer solstice so the end of the 3 months was on the first day of fall...this made our summer not much of a summer, tho, and I find myself feeling loss as the seasons change. that's the only downer of this whole affair.
on the art front-- with not giving it much thot but driven by pure excitement --I managed to purchase all within the same time frame the apps of PhotoshopCS3, Painter X, and a wacom Intuos 3 tablet (thankyou mother dear =). this is my first experience with each so I have found myself learning, learning, and learning. watching videos has been a way of life lately --I really enjoy this!! but it will still be a little time b4 I submit work to the gallery here that it a product of these exciting new tools. I am about to publish my latest work to the members gallery...something that was a nice FUN break to take from all the learning. look for it soon.
hope you enjoy this thumbnail of my lovely dove. this was taken in color and I used photoshopCS3, thnx to the videos by Deke McClelland on Masks & Channels, to convert it to grayscale not by the ordinary means but by choosing the green channel, and then eliminating the other channels. no color loss occurs with this method. this image is straight from the camera (other than re-sizing); no crop

Well that';s great news. Seems to me that you and your dog are very close. . .. Intuos 3, I've also recently purchased mine ..... . still waiting for delivery. So i guess from here on out were also competing with the Pro's hey

Good luck to you then. ( if i'm not mistaken )Your dog seems very well mannered, just like ours... .... u said that your dog is a service dog.. ..what kind of service (shhot me with a pm if u want to .) Oh n btw way i liked your "Water the flowers" piece.

Till next time Cheers

ZaZill and Rachel, really nice to have comments from ya. I see your brand new here Rachel...look forward to hearing 'bout your canines and seeing your art, when your ready to post! ZaZill, yes I'm quite bonded with my dog. she's a service dog--meaning she goes with me when I go into public places. I've had her for 8yrs now, and they've gone by way too fast. as far as specifically what does she do?...well, I keep that private cuz it would be explaining my medical conditions to give out details. do hope you understand. and she is very well mannered, very low-key-would-love to hang-out-on-the sofa all-day IF I allowed
her to but don't

I have found the transition to a tablet not as quick as I anticipated. I don't have any problems with the disassociation between the tablet and screen, but have found just as it was an adjustment to use a mouse for drawing it's now an adjustment back to something in my hand that works more naturally. good luck with yours
cheers to ya both

thnx cupcake, but 2 days ago she had the very same surgery on her other hind leg. another 3months recovery for that..... I've been so busy caring for many family members, 1 canine included, that I've had little time for artwork. I look forward to when I can submit more work. thnx for stopping by!!

I have read all the blogs, sounds painful, sorry to hear that.
As a dog lover to another, I am glad she is doing well now!
My dog suffered from a broken leg also, after she jumped and landed incorrectly off the couch. its really tough to go trough.

thnx much Osito. but things have changed since my last entry. she has had the same surgery on the other knee -- thankfully we're out of knees

and some other stuff as well. I will probably be moving my blog to my website- if you're interested in following along.
