About the Artwork

Chula Weekend is a painting that I did in the mid-1990’s with an early version of what is now Corel Painter software using what were the first artist media digital brushes. At that point, Painter was one of the few softwares capable of creating hand rendered work that imitated natural artistic mediums. I bought myself a Wacom tablet and digitizing pen and haven’t looked back since.

Last year I revisited the art and added some layers and textures using new Photoshop artist media brushes. The original idea came from a weekend trip to a cabin in north Georgia. My friend’s Golden Retriever, Chula, was in the back of the truck as we drove through the countryside on a cool autumn night. A crescent moon shown in the darkening sky as we zipped along the quiet state highway. It was a magical moment and since I was living “dogless” at the time, it was wonderful cavorting with a canine for the weekend.

This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
