Molly and her toy.

I've been working on two new illustrations and a commissioned dog portrait this past week.

I realized that I have quite a number of animal pictures done, and I was thinking of hanging them as a show somewhere.

Where? I'm not sure. The idea came to me this morning while taking a shower. Isn't it interesting that some of your best ideas come to you while taking a shower? Or reading a book? Or drinking a cup of tea?

Two new illustrations for the new year.

Anyway, the idea is there, now to shop around for a space!

Lucy!

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.
