Yugi and Stella's Portrait

I received an adorable picture to work from.

After a bit of a flip, it made a much better composition.

The final 24x36 painting was practically life size for the duo.

Margaret the Rat Terrier's Portrait

My What Big Ears Margaret Has!

I had a week to create the perfect portrait of Margaret as a present for her Dad (from her Mom.)  Her mom liked a straight on portrait, but didn't have a picture quite like that.  So, I worked with her like a police sketch artist, to capture Margaret's puppy dog eyes and adorable ears.

(Also my sister's name is Margaret, so this was a hoot!)

Holiday Ornaments

I've been very busy with holiday ornament orders!

 

Sleigh Bells Ring, Are you Listening?

And once again the months have flown by.  Two foster dogs later, we've decided that adding another permanent dog to our home isn't quite in the cards just yet, and now we've had our first dusting of snow in Denver!

I'm gearing up for the holiday season orders, and starting to bundle up Indiana for the colder weather.  After so many days in the 90's this summer, it is a bit of a relief.  But, I'm not sure I'm ready for snow!
