His studio is called</span> <a href="http://dogtiredstudio.net/wordpress/">&quot;Dog Tired Studio.&quot;</a>&#160; <span style="color: #000000">His website is very impressive too. Sean&#39;s work captures the spirit of the creatures he paints, and yet maintains a painterly transparency and luminosity that is quite lovely.</p></span> <div><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></div><div><br /></div> <p style="clear:both;"> <a href="http://elizabethmyers.vox.com/library/post/the-copley-society.html?_c=feed-rss-full#comments">Read and post comments</a> | <a href="http://www.vox.com/share/6a00d09e453ffbbe2b00e398d712590003?_c=feed-rss-full">Send to a friend</a> </p> boston watercolor acrylic copley society
