Lucy is finished!

I finished the painting of Lucy a few days ago.

Here she is. She went home with her new owner this morning. The woman I painted this for was so incredibly happy and excited to bring her home.

She loved it and thanked me over and over. It made me feel so happy. I was happy that she loved it, and I was even more happy that I had made someone happy. Happiness!

anyway, the beautiful sunshine we had this morning along with such a happy client, made for a fantastic day.

Painting!

I started two new paintings today! One is a commissioned piece of my friend's dog, Mo. You may remember that I met with her and Mo last month. Well, I'm finally getting around to painting her. She still needs a lot of work, but I feel like it's off to a good start.

Painting pets is not an easy thing to do. I really want to make sure that I capture her big personality, and spirit. It is nice looking at the painting in this format. I can see what areas need work!

I also started another feather painting. I liked the illustration so much that I decided to make a painting from it.

Well, tomorrow is my first day back at work after 2 weeks off. I can't say I'm really looking forward to it. But, I will make the best of it for sure!
