I miss Paris. I want to go back. This is my painting “Paris Review.”
My husband dodgemedlin.tumblr.com and I went to Paris in September. While I was there I painted every day. I finished some of the paintings when we got back home. Here are eight of the pieces I created. They will be shown for the first time Saturday night during the Ray at Night artwalk in San Diego.
"I am interested in art as a means of living a life; not as a means of making a living."
— Robert Henri
"I want the painting to look like a painting rather than a photograph."
— Heather Horton (via rdenker)
Two paintings I am donating to the San Diego Fine Art Society. They will be available for purchase at Art San Diego starting Thursday.
Seriously.
I’d rather have scars than have lived a bland life —- it makes the art better.
"The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance, and this, and not the external manner and detail, is true reality."
I love painting French bulldogs, but this one is too cute for my work!
I checked, and this tumblr name is already taken. This one, however, is available.
That puppy just looks so pleased with itself. As well it should.

“Kissing with Eyes Closed” by Dani Dodge.
For those of you who missed Thursday’s reception of my solo show, “Stories without Words,” or want to see it again without the crowd, Pimento Fine Art is open 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The show will be up through Sept. 10. It is housed within Olive PR Solutions, a working PR firm in downtown San Diego that represents arts organizations. Appointments are appreciated, but not required. And, if you would like, I can always schedule a personal tour with the artist!
