Direct Mail

“If a fellow wants to be a nobody in the business world, let him neglect sending the mail man to somebody on his behalf.” - Charles F. Kettering

This painting is 7 x 5 oil on canvas panel. Please call me, email me, or click here if you'd like to buy this painting.

When I woke up this morning I heard them, a yawn-like howl and a series of sneezes. Illness? No. The Ranney studio now has two long-haired Chihuahuas clamoring for attention and running us around like we're the pets. It was Daralynn's birthday on the 1st so I helped her bring her dream of having a Chihuahua gang to reality.

Pedro, our oldest dog, has been taught to sneeze on command. He's so good at it that if you're ignoring him (or painting) he'll sneeze until you give him attention. I know, it's adorable. Pablo, our newest dog, opens wide and yawns for attention. They don't play yet but today they sniffed at each other without showing their teeth. Progress and success with dogs, like with art, comes with patience and hard work.

Say cheese!
