Studio Pets

[Mike McCarty]

This is Penny Penscher, my painting assistant, squirrel chasing, homestead protector, face licking Miniature Pinscher. While not assisting me she is, as you can see, a dominatrix over all things small and stuffed.

When she is not mixing my palette, cleaning brushes etc., she is perched on my shoulder holding paint brushes in her mouth and offering criticism using the low level growl method.

Here is our 3 year old kitty, Chester, who often sleeps at the bottom of my easel when I paint. He's a big help.
