Llama Mamma!

9" by 12" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted.

It sure is cold here in Virginia! There was even rumor of snow flakes but I haven't spotted any so far. I did manage to stay pretty warm today in my studio with all my spot ligts on and lots of good painting. I completed a new cow which I just listed and also this fun piece. It is my first llama and it was quite fun. Hope you like it too. Tomorrow is a teaching day as well as time to begin two commissioned pet portraits. Both are labs so I am sure that will be fun especially with time drawing near when Sean and my "grandpuppy", Brewsky, will be home for Thanksgiving. I will have to get used to keeing all food off the counters! Enjoy the day today!

Gray Tabby Out Of The Shadows

6" by 6" original oil on wrap around canvas with 3/4 inch sides painted.

Tonight's painting was inspired by my own little Tabby cat who has modeled for me a bunch. I had found her in a zen moment partly in the shadows in my office perched on my desk with the sun streaming in the window. I think she is quite the beauty! Hope you enjoy this little piece which would look great framed or unframed or even sitting on a small easel on a bookcase. Have a great Friday!

Racoon Up Close

I think that racoons have the cutest faces. Every now and then we see one in our neighborhood...one was roosting around in our trash can with the lid on his head! Hope you are having a good week. Can't believe how close the holidays are getting! The weather was really rainy and blustery today and was almost dark when Andrew got home from school. Well, enjoy your Thursday!

Really Cool Rooster

Hope your week is off to a great start. Andrew had off of school today and I was out running errands. I am going to paint my front door, shutters and trim this weekend and had to choose some colors. I went to see the gal who helped me do my family room and we picked two fun colors. One is a brick red for the shutters with kind of a rosy tinge and golden yellow for the front door. I never would have chosen it on my own but apparently it is very vogue these days and is reccomended for people who want to sell their homes. I have golden yellow on my walls and lots of red accents in pillows and area rugs so it should flow nicely. Now I just need to get busy. I also got an area rug for my dining room so it will look nice for the holiday and will protect the floors from Brewsky when he and Sean come home from college. Well, I am going to go to bed early so I will be ready to vote tomorrow! Have a good one!
