Christmas Commisions and Happy New Year!

It's 2018. I can't believe it. I have had a wonderful year. I am blessed in so many ways, and feel gratitude every day. Life can seem so fragile and I pray for people who have lost loved ones and/or who are suffering. I hope 2018 brings joy and peace to all of my family and friends, including all my art friends online. And to this world.

 I have been busy painting over the Holidays-mostly dog portraits. Fun! And an owl! Here are some recent pups I painted. Thank you for the opportunities to paint those awesome animals. I hope I did them all justice. Our family has two big blessings in tiny packages coming very soon now! What a way to start the New Year.  The 30 paintings in 30 days will be in February. I will be participating, and I hope to see lots of you there!

    Look at these charismatic canines, captured so captivatingly by you, Laurie! The softnesses, the warmth, the dignity, the eyes, the what-eyes?, the affection, the intelligence—you got it all! Loved scrolling through their portraits several times over in great delight.

    Eager to hear your baby news 'very soon now' : )
