Oh Michelle, I LOVE him!!! I mean them!!! I adore border collies and you've got the motion down wonderfully. I can just imagine what it would look like if my Corgi tried to do that. I feel like we're kindred spirits everytime I look at you site. Thanks for commenting on my work.
Hi Michelle! I just found you via the comment you left on my blog...thank you! The illo of your playful collie is so cute & full of energy. You've captured his movement & glee very well.
He's really cute ! Great characters on your blog ! Wow, living on a farm and drawing cartoons, that's how I'd like to picture myself in the future if I had the chance.
yeah, i know what you mean. there's nothing like the energy of a "wired" dog. He seems really happy. I like the shadows on the ground to show that he's up in the air. Nice touch.
Thanks for visiting my blog Michelle. You have a very nice style. Even though I'm sitting behind a computer surrounded by concrete walls, I feel like I'm outdoors when I look at your work.
i love this, michelle! i looked back through your posts and really enjoyed all of them. (especially "mountain out of a mousehill :)) your dogs are beautiful and i'll be back often to see what they're up to.
Hey Michelle, excellent movement studies of Ben! They sure do like to work, don't they? He's a beauty. Great job, as always I love visiting :) My Uncle lives in Ottawa and for a zillion years has traveled the countryside sketching barns and silos. I wonder if he ever went by your place ? My dream has always been to live in an old New England farmhouse with lots of rescued animals :)
This is so wonderful Michelle! I painted a border collie all week so I was so surprised when I clicked on and to see your delightful illo and real life dog too! Absolutely great!
WHEEE!this is so,SO fun-And so cute!(GO get it Jenny,I mean,UM,Ben-LOL!) The real photo of Ben is very cute,too-he has those perky upright ears & he's smiling just like in your drawings!
I just love your work. To be able to create animations and the style of your animals is very inpirational. My youngest son is interested in claymation. He and I may one of these days put together a little animation ourselves. So thank you again.
Michelle! Near Port Hope! Lovely blog, the great drawings I expected but I love your watercolour stuff too. Hope you're well; haven't done much blog browsing of late, (and better get back to work now ) but this was a pleasant surprise.

Michelle,
Nice work! Really fun animal sketches. I wish i was on a farm. Sounds very nice! So much inspiration all around you:)
I enjoyed watching the dogs having so much fun all by themselves. Hope that I can be like them.Nice one!
Yup, Border Collies are one wired breed. A lot of fun if you can keep up with them! I love the personality you gave him!
That's one adorable & ubiquitous dog!
Great illo! well done!
Of course, the wired dog! Love the playfulness of this piece.
I knew this would be something awesome. Amazing work. Ben(?) looks like he has a lot of energy!
