Vireo and Nika

The last portrait I have done was a couple of Chinooks. Vireo and Nika. This portrait was an anniversary present.

Portrait of Casey

Another portrait I did was for a Christmas present last year. It's a portrait of Casey the Golden Retriever.

Over a Year?!

Holy cow! I just noticed that it has been over a year since I've posted! I guess I have been neglecting my blog :(
I'll try to catch up really quick here. I have done a few projects since last year including a few portraits and some more baby room paitings.
Here's a portrait I did in memory of Sandy:

New project for myself!

After just coming home from beautiful Pensacola, Florida I want to cherish the memories of our trip. I did a lot of searching for shells and sand dollars while at the beach and I came across 3 tiny sand dollars so I decided I want to wire wrap them so I can wear them as jewelry.

Auggee and Kess

I got the honor of drawing a portrait of Auggee and Kess as a surprise for their daddy's birthday! Gregg was very surprised at his birthday present and loved it!

Here's the work in progress:

Christmas Portraits

Happy New Year! I haven't been keeping up with the blog as much as I would like. Life has been complicated much of last year. Looking forward to a great year ahead! Time to catch up here really quick. I got the opportunity to do two portrait commissions for Christmas this year

 Dasha and Leyla

 Work in progress

 Working with Carbon and Graphite Pencil

 All finished! Given as a Christmas gift and was a big hit!!

The next portrait is of Chaos. This is his "Play Ball?" look. I loved it since my dog gives us the same look when he wants us to play ball with him. I could really relate with Chaos!

New Project!

I got a request to paint some canvases for a baby's room a few months ago. I was a little apprehensive at first but once I got started it actually was a lot of fun. Baby Madeline's grandma had made her an ABC quilt and I was asked to paint an "A", "B", and "C" canvas to match the quilt. They came out nice!

Here's an example of the fabric used for the quilt
