Kat Corrigan: Paint!
- July 31, Gizmo! July, 2026This isn't an official dog on the list, but I thought I'd share Gizmo none-the-less because he was just such a joy to paint.I also wanted to tell you that I spent yesterday evening at my studio with a lovely group to paint their pets, and it is just a joy to me to get […]
- July 30, Old Cutie Kirby! July, 2026Yup, I just liked this one so much, I had to paint him. It's just such a sweet face, and sometimes that's completely all I want in a painting is something that is cute to look at. I think our hearts like to rest on those kinds of things sometimes, to appreciate the sweetness of this […]
- July 29, Don with Rythmn July, 2026This is a painting that was requested by a friend and fellow artist, and I am happy with where it is going but not quite sure it is complete yet!I'll do a little more work on Don's face- this is my friend Joe's brother, who passed recently, with his therapy dog Rythmn.I do love paintings […]
- July 28, Lucy! July, 2026Lucy is one of the lovely dogs that roam around at Camp Mishawaka, and she lives with the wonderfully buoyant and optimistic Angela and her amazingly flexible and friendly husband Mark. Lucy is slightly shy and doesn't mind sniffling our pugs or playing with their toys, but she doesn't quite join in their silly pug […]

Her go to items are sticks and balls and anything chewy.We got her as a pup […]
- July 26, Orion! July, 2026I do love how creatively people name their pets, and a lot of times the name has a great story too! I'll see if I can get Julie to give us a better story for Orion here- I wanted to paint him because I loved that look in his eyes and the positioning of his […]
- July 25, Winnie! July, 2026Painting white dogs on black is a little tricky, and as the acrylic dries it darkens a little. So I may be going back into Winnie a bit here and there but I wanted to get her posted cuz I'm pretty happy with her overall!Here's what Beth wrote about this sweet face~"About our Winona (Winnie):Was […]
- July 24, Cosmo and Comet July, 2026Here's another one I had to paint... it still cracks me up just to see the wide chasm between these expression!

- July 22, Jojo! July, 2026We are LOVING the cool air in Minnesota the last couple of days! Hope you are enjoying the world where you are too~Is it obvious that this pup's ears needed to be painted? I mean, really! Just look at these ears! Oh and those eyes too- and also, did you know my favorite dog ever […]
- July 21, Aoife July, 2026This fluffball is Aoife~ I wasn't sure about painting a dog without eyes showing better, and Cynthia sent me another photo with his eyes showing, but she was right that this was the better one. So I painted this one and put little peeps of those beautiful eyes in!8x8 acrylic on woodsold~
- July 20, Gage July, 2026This is Gage, and Erin wrote this about him~"Gage is a very smart and sweet almost 15 year old puggle.

My dad dubbed him “a teddy bear with a heartbeat”. He’s the dog we got 3 months after we got married as a […]
- July 17, Zeus and Lucas in Alabama! July, 2026Every year when I paint these series, I get into a rhythm of painting square dog heads, and sometimes I need to break that rhythm. Yes, with Luna I painted an entire little body because I loved that face and fluff, but I also want to paint BIGGER sometimes! So when this photo was submitted […]
- July 16, LUNA July, 2026SO, in Minnesota right now, it's pretty smokey from the Canadian and Boundary Waters wildfires... it is really creepy to have the air taste like smoke and to not want to spend time outside in a Minnesota summer... and the fact that my 17 year old is an expert in AQI is NOT a good […]
- July 15, Pepper! July, 2026Today's dog is a black lab, a black dog, like my Bingo who was the first black dog I painted. I really feel like Bingo taught me how to paint black, on black... it is extremely fun, and quite satisfying, like completing a puzzle. I sketch out the portrait first, and then paint it in […]
- July 14, Valdez July, 2026I thought this guy just looked so intriguing.... Laura sent me two photos and one was of Valdez sprawled on a chair, looking kinda sexy, and I thought about painting that one, but that would have to be a bigger canvas, honestly! For these projects, just the face works best for a one-day painting!Here's Laura's […]
- July 13, Bramble! July, 2026This is Bramble, Charlotte's parent's corgi! She sent a few pics and I was debating between two and my son said THIS ONE! Which I agree with!

That's the best part of this job, if you […]
