Welcoming a New Studio Mascot

Although this is a bit off topic for my Studio Blog, I want to share that last month we adopted a new dog from Centre County PAWS in central Pennsylvania.

Maple and me.

Someone abandoned her in the town of Mapleton Depot, Pennsylvania earlier this summer, so she is named Maple.

Maple is a Rottweiler / Lab mix and she's still very much a puppy. We are delighted to have a new life in our home, although she's putting us through our paces with her energy and never-ending quest for things to chew (our shoes, socks, pillows, electrical cords, and the list could go on, but you get the point). It's exhausting!

Miss Maple.

Maple is scary smart. She's learning her commands rapidly and she will be a great companion for me when I venture out to paint in our area parks. I've been in such a funk this summer following the loss of my sweet Annie, and I am just thrilled to have a new little buddy in my studio.

Welcome, Maple!
