Animal Paintings

Don't we love our animals? They become part of our family.

I am working on a space for a client and I wanted to add a personal touch to it. I think every space should have something you love in it.

When I saw her dog I knew I had to paint him.

 I love to paint but it has been awhile since I have painted on canvas. The last time was painting my valances in my Craft Room. 

I have painted all types and styles. A post that best represents this was my Painting and Love post.

This was something I really enjoyed because of my love for animals. I am now thinking of offering custom pet portraits in my ETSY shop. I love how doing one thing turns into something else.

I started with a picture printed off my computer.

I penciled in a sketch of the subject and started layering paint. I used acrylic.

I kept the photo near me to try and get the likeness of the animal as close as I could.

I love the way it came out and I think his owner did too!

What do you think? I love painting on this size. They are 12x12 gallery wrapped canvases.

Painting is a perception. A creative expression. Whether I paint on canvas or furniture it is what makes my soul happy:) If interested in purchasing one of your sweet baby.

Painting and Love

Anytime I begin to paint, I begin with an emotion.......


This painting was made from pure love! My daughter at her Holy Communion.

The painting is oil so it took a long time to do. Oils take a long time to dry.
I painted this from a favorite snapshot. It is one of my early paintings. It is one that hangs in my home and is treasured.

My poor son (who I love immensely) doesn't have his own painting of himself yet but I paint for his home. Lots of crazy abstracts!

I started painting this painting horizontally. Then I turned it and saw this face. The funny thing is my son sings and writes music. I wanted to do an abstract to fit that. This was a happy accident. I then turned it and finished the painting

Both very different pieces for two very different people! 

The love is the same though! When your heart is fully immersed in something how can it be wrong!

I love creating things! I love painting! I love my children! Putting it all together........

PRICELESS!!!!

Hope you enjoy!
