Alice watches the Stanley Cup Finals
Posted: July 7, 2021 Filed under: Uncategorized 30 CommentsI was very honoured to be interviewed by Colin Devroe of The Watercolor Gallery. If you’re interested, have a look at his wonderful site h2ocolor.com and the interview here.
As for today’s drawings, they don’t need much explanation. There’s no stopping Alice during hockey finals. She’s cheering and shouting the whole time. Can’t keep her down.

We have a black lab mix who sleeps just like Alice, with same positions, but she knows where we are every minute. Especially watching hockey games!

I still just love a good graphite sketch of every day life. Nice one Shari!

Me too Dan. There’s nothing like graphite. I was using a Blackwing Pearl pencil, which is really nice to draw with.

HaHa!! She doesn’t look like she’s too excited about the Stanley Cup! I have a 15 year old grandson who has been playing since he was four years old. He’s on a AAA team traveling far distances this coming season. We love watching his games and we had Silvertip seats for several years.

Love Alice’s enthusiasm! If she’d prefer tennis, Wimbledon is going on and Canadian Denis Shapovalov is in the semifinals playing electrifying tennis.

Thanks Judy! Alice is very playful during the day but in the evening, don’t bother her. She goes from her bed in the den to her bed in my bedroom and that is it.

I read the great interview. Hopefully it will bring more viewers of you blog your way! As for Alice, I believe she’s dreaming of the day they invent ice skates for dogs.

Love the lazy dog sketches. I’d love to see you do a gouache painting of your dog…I’m considering doing that myself but just wondering how you’d tackle that, especially the eye.

Nice sketch of your dog, I really like the rough texture you created in this drawing.
Its too bad Montreal lost, but at least they were not swept out of the series. Even my dad was going for Montreal, and he is usually the person to go for anyone but Montreal since he is a Toronto Maple Leafs Fan. But the Habs did give a good effort to make it all the way to the finals. I’m still waiting to see any Canadian Team hoist the Stanley Cup.

It’s remarkable how excited our dogs get when the Canadiens are on the ice, isn’t it? I loved those sketches of Alice, really lovely. I love it anytime Alice features in anything!. I was at the game in June 1993 when our Habs last won the cup, oh what a night that was. Hard to believe, but, that was the last time a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup.
