Charcoal Terriertude by SJ Merwin, Airedale Art, Dog, Canine, portrait, Montana Artist

2011-06-14T14:13:00.000-07:00

I have a new studio and I'm still unpacking. Moving a studio is so much more work than it sounds like. I'd rather move a whole house than move my studio. Now, I have more room to paint large paintings! But my studio and painting time was so disrupted for the last month.

Just to warm up in my new space, I created a charcoal study of some terriertude, that's terrier attitude!

Bigger than Life - Airedale Terrier Dog Art Painting by Montana Artist

About This Painting:
The second image shows just one of a multitude of steps that the whole painting process took.

Four feet X five feet is a large painting. I kept a photo diary of the entire process from building the canvas to the final paint stroke. From a piece of canvas and sticks of wood to a finished painting that is bigger than life. The process took over 100 hours and was a labor of love. Barkley is the wonderful dog who the painting portrays. You can see her spirit shining through.

Eyeing You - Airedale, Terrier, dog, National Airedale Rescue, canine, oil

About This Painting:
Airedale owners often see this almost abstract perspective when their Airedale wants something. You can be asleep and the the nose and eye appears right over your head. When you love an Airedale their curly fur, their intelligent eyes and their wandering nose are a big part of how you experience them.

I love painting things that are neither totally abstract nor totally realism. Nothing against either style but they aren't interesting to me. But there is a place between the two where abstract and realism come together to create something that is totally different, an organic rendering that seems to create its own life. In this painting I wanted three things to stand out: the curly Airedale hair, the intense soulful Airedale eye and the impressive Airedale nose. Had I created a Picasso like abstract painting, the nose might have been below the eye. Perhaps I will try that another day. But right now that place bordering realism and abstraction calls to me.

Airedale as Center of the Universe - Watercolor Terrier Dog Painting

2009-12-12T11:47:00.000-08:00

Airedale as Center of the Universe - Watercolor Terrier Dog Painting

About This Painting:
Airedales often think they are the center of the universe. Ask anyone who has an Airedale. This painting celebrates their wonderful energy and ability to hold the universe in their paws.

I read this story years ago and I still remember it.

A little boy asked to pet a woman's dog. When he did he looked into the dog's eyes and then turned to the woman and said: "Did you know you can see the whole world in the eyes of your dog?"

The woman looked and in the brown large eyes she could see reflections of herself and her environment. How profound that you can see your whole world in the eyes of a dog.

Deep Sleep Airedale Welsh Terrier - by SJ Merwin

Deep Sleep Terrier

About This Painting:
I spent all day emailing to stop the Horse Slaughter Plant from being built in Montana. My geriatric Welsh asleep at my feet. His peaceful breathing reminding me that he was there for me. Shiloh is an old dog so he sleeps deeply now, more deeply than when he was a puppy. When he wakes he is stiff and a little disjointed about what happening but he is ready and willing to play. In human years he is between 80 and 85. I hope I can be as joyful as he is when I'm 80.

Blue Foreclosure: "I think our people must be lost. I know they wouldn't have left us. Let's go find them!"

About This Painting:
This is a series about Foreclosures. Across the nation pets are being abandoned because of home foreclosure and job losses. I've been told this painting probably won't sell because it packs such an emotional punch. But that's what art can do - pack an emotional punch that tells it like it is. Animals suffer because some truly greedy people brought down the economy. The ones who suffer are the old, the sick , the young and those creatures without a voice. So, if the painting packs too much of an emotional punch to purchase, please go to the National Airedale Rescue website and make a donation - even a small donation helps.

About This Painting:
Foreclosures and job losses mean abandoned dogs. Across the country people are leaving their dogs or dropping them off at shelters because they can't afford to keep them, or because they have lost their home. Some people bringt their furry family members to shelters like National Airedale Rescue. With tears they explain and explain. But really there is no explanation that a dog would understand. The dogs are heartbroken.

Playful Aire - Airedale Terrier Art

About This Painting:
If a mark of intelligence is the ability to laugh and play, then the Airedale has higher intelligence than some humans. This Airedale has taught his owner a fairly complicated game of Pine Cone. As I understand it the first step is to find the perfect pine cone for the game. After this task is completed, the pine cone can be hidden, tossed, chased, and tugged on - but it cannot be ignored. Ignoring the pine cone brings penalties of sharp barks and a few paw swipes.

About This Painting:
"Golden Aire" is a painting of many layers, just like life. We all wear our layers of life. Even our animals have the layers of years they carry with them. I have a Geriatric dog who has worn the layers of life well. He doesn't hear, or see very well but he still knows how to play. When he was young and full of energy he would chase a toy for hours with all four feet running and jumping. Today, playing looks like holding the toy in his mouth and shaking it while I gently tug on it. We all age. May we all remember to play.

But It's Cold Out Here and He's My Brother - Airedale Welsh Terrier Art - by Sandra Merwin

2008-08-29T15:12:00.001-07:00

Everyone who is involved in rescues tries their very best to help all the rescues. It is heartbreaking to know that some dogs get placed and others don't. Many rescuers save a dog from a kill shelter but know they have left so many behind. As I painted this painting, the Airedale was speaking for the dogs and saying, "But it's cold out here and he's my brother, why can't we take him home." The woman in the painting has almost a Madonna smile that says, yes, I want to help them all and I know I can only do so much... The second dog in the painting looks straight at the viewer and asks why he is abandoned and who will help?
