Odalys with Mattie
Yesterday I had a private lesson with one of my newer students, the mom of one of the young artists that I teach. She had wanted to come to the last Paint Your Pet Portrait Party but couldn’t so we did this yesterday. Great job! Mattie looks great. I know you are proud of her.

Today is Lincoln’s Birthday! Yes, that Lincoln and my Lincoln. Since my Lincoln is adopted and we are not sure of his exact birthday we thought this would be the best date for him. (We adopted him in the fall and the vet guessed that he was less than a year old so we figured his birthday was sometime right after the first of the year.)
He has been a mess ever since we adopted him but he is our mess and we love him anyway.
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY LINCOLN…you little stinker!
A couple of years ago my young artists painted Lincoln’s portrait. It is one of my favorites. See it here.

Maggie’s Painting

Maggie, the Blue Tick Heeler, is another commission I did for Christmas.
Maggie is an acrylic on 12″x12″ canvas. I was just told yesterday that she was a big hit with her recipient. I like hearing that.

Rex Painting
Rex Reference Photo
Rex, a beautiful border collie, is a commission that I did as a Christmas present. I just got this message on Facebook from Sue, the recipient: “Thank you so much for doing a painting of my dog Rex (border collie) for my brother as a gift to me. It is just beautiful!”
I love hearing back from people who have received presents.

This little guy is Oliver. He belongs to a wonderful friend in Kentucky and he was so adorable I had to paint his portrait. He is an acrylic on panel measuring 6″x6″. Could he be any cuter?
