“Where do you want your paintings?” The bitch in me is usually quick to correct, but the artist in me liked the sound of that.

“Paintings.” I repeated, just to hear it again. Yes, I did like the sound of that.

They were 20×30 photographs, printed on canvas, and Nick was helping me set up the display in my event booth at a local pet parade.

To my delight, Nick was not the last person to make this mistake about my work. If people thought my pet portraits were like paintings, what would they think about my artsy work?

The progression to more painting-like photography is another motivation behind my decision to continue this series. I know it’s a cliché for any photographer to say that they paint with light, but now I’m painting with movement too.

Each bit of motion is another brush stroke. Each brush stroke is unique; even in attempts to repeat my movements, I never get the same result twice.

What do you think? Could this photo pass for a painting?

(There is also a wide photo very similar to this one in my shop here: Wide Daisy Tie Dye)
