National Dog Day - Cassie

Today is National Dog Day, so I gave Cassie an extra cookie :)

Here's a little sketch of my shy Cassie

I've had the privilege of painting portraits of some wonderful dogs, take a peek of my pet portrait page

No rest for the weary :)
Sprayed the first portrait with fixative and while waiting for it to dry, I started on another one.

2 more beautiful cats

I stopped posting the paintings I'm working on the past few days, since one of my clients was concerned about the recipient might see it and ruin the surprise.

Delivered this painting today - she said I could share it since the recipient won't see it.  :)

Two Old Buddies - pet portrait

 I finished the "Two Old Buddies" pet portrait. I like the way they are never apart.

It was a pleasure getting to know these two trough this painting.

holy crape - the year is almost over

My husband's hospital stay the week after Thanksgiving certainly has put a bit of a snag in my holidays, but I am infinitely grateful to have him better and at home now. Blog has been put aside while I try to catch up on my holiday projects. Of course, since I like to complicate things, I plan a get-together for New Years day. I also managed to get a pet portrait fit in there too - here is a glimpse of the little cutie-pie kitten - Muffin.

I hope everyone is having Happy Holidays and I hope the New Year brings you opportunity, peace & happiness.

Have you tasted your toes today?

Snapple cap for today says Butterflies taste with their hind feet - gives a whole new meaning to putting your foot in your mouth  :)

As a creative exercise I decided to fool around with some cards this wet weekend.
