Play First. Work Later

Now I am at my new home. At first, I felt a bit unsure about it all, but everyone is so nice that I am starting to feel like I can relax. I have lots of new humans to play with me and to lick! In fact, after a stressful two months, I think I want to spend some time relaxing, playing with my new family members, and waiting for inspiration to fill me. I will share with you some of my new discoveries over the next few weeks while I get ready to create my new artwork.

This is my new bed. I like to sleep here with my human at night, or whenever I just feel like taking a nap. I just woke up when this picture was taken...I look good don't I?

Lots of licks,
Lian

Doesn't The Joker need a sidekick?

While my human runs around packing up all my stuff, and chasing dust bunnies with a broom, I am trying out my versatility as an actor. I am told the movie The Dark Knight has some dog actors in it, but I wonder if they are as talented as I am? Doesn't The Joker need a talented and worthy sidekick? Here I am trying on The Joker's trademark grin. What do you think? Craaazy! Isn't it! Ha ha ha!

Lots of licks,

Where's My Chair?!

One day some humans came and took my chair!
I was so confused. I thought if I sat where the chair used to be, that it would come back. But it hasn't come back!

Since the chair went away, my home is a mess. My human is putting all my stuff in boxes. I know that this is part of moving. I have moved twice before. I never like moving. It makes my tummy feel bad.

I hope my chair is waiting for me at my new home.

Isn't this rug pretty? It came from The Rug Gallery.
At least I have the rug to take naps on for now.

I hope you all have a very nice 4th of July!

Lots of Licks,

Goodbye Studio

I had great fun at my party on Friday. Thank you to those who came to celebrate with me! Don't I look great with my very own tiara and feather boa. Many licks to my friend Nancy for giving them to me. Now I am a properly dressed diva!

I had hoped to share a slideshow of pictures from the party, but my human can't figure out how to load it. Instead, or at least, for now, here is a link to some of the pictures: My Birthday Party.

Saturday my human packed up the studio and very soon we will be heading east to NY where we will set up a new studio. When we get settled there I will post some pictures...maybe even have a working slideshow too!

At the party there was a drawing to win one of my paintings. The winner of the drawing is Amy Papania. Congratulations! I hope you enjoy my painting!

Now it is time for me to rest. Being adored is so exhausting!

I will let you know how the move is coming along, so check back soon!

Lots of licks,

Lian

My Birthday Party & a Moving Sale!

Big News!!
My human just told me that we are moving back to New York! That means June's Final Friday will be our last Open Studio at the Pendleton. Even though my birthday is at the end of July, my human said we could celebrate it at our final Open Studio. I will be there with my party dress on!

Please join me on Friday June 27th (6-10pm) or Sat June 28th (11am- 3pm) to celebrate my birthday! We will have refreshments and I will be having a drawing for a free Lian Xin Original painting, as well as other specials.

I hope to see you then!

Lots of Licks,
Lian
