When I started this blog, my goal was to write about my art and works-in-progress. I’m trying to get back on track now that Christmas decorating is done.
One of my new projects is a portrait for my nephew and his girlfriend. He plays for the Atlanta Falcons. (yes, I’m a proud auntie! )
This is their darling furbaby, Sir Lester.
I want it to be a surprise and I got this picture off of FB. What a face! Hope I can capture that expression.
Here are some other wonderful dogs I’ve painted with photos and my portraits of them.
Uzi
Sadie – my Mom’s doggy.
L’il Mo – my own ‘puppy’. I painted this when he was 6 mos. old. He’s now 10.
Phoebe & Sasha
And Roxie. I don’t have the pics I painted her from, tho. And, yes, her ‘Dad’ is a fireman!
Roxie is actually part of a ‘faux’ fireman’s hole. The station is only one story and they commissioned me to paint this. I painted it on canvas, applied it with wallpaper paste, and then they put the brass pole up.
I’ll let you know how it goes with Lester. I’ll try and take step by step pics. For me, that’s a little bit like performing in a bikini, ewww! My artwork doesn’t look too good until it’s finished, but I’ll grin and bear it.

Oh WOW! You are such a talented artist!! I think your nephew is going to LOVE whatever you create for him.
And that is so cool he plays for the Falcons…they are one of my favorite teams! I’d be a proud auntie too!
This is so fantastic! My goodness! My fav is this pug? with red background LOL I don’t know dog breeds all that well.
Aww – they are SO adorable (hard to handle for me as my daughter is begging me for a dog (I am breaking down…)!

OMG what beautiful pet portraits! I have gotten my little Tinkerbells professinal pictures taken, but I have always wanted a painting done of her. If you are ever interested in advertising space, or a sponsored post in exchange for a portrait of my little girl let me know!
Visiting from SITS!!
Wow, you really did good with those portraite! I had one done of my dad’s favorite cat and gave it to him as a gift–he loved it!
Visiting from SITS, Merry Christmas!

What a great surprise this will be! Love the dog portraits.
Hey, Colleen…I’ll do another post about the Decorating Dilemmas party soon. I’ve been doing them once a month (except in Dec).
I’m impressed! These portraits look beautiful!
Too cute! You are too talented!!
I love these.
oh wow! You are immensely talented! Those are GORGEOUS!!! Swinging in from SITS! Merry Christmas!
Great work! You sure know what you are doing.
Thanks for stopping by!
These are wonderful, wow!!! Thanks for coming to Bee Wise Bags!!
Those are amazing poochie portraits! I love the one where you put the two pictures together in one portrait- very cool for two doggie friends that you could never get to look at the camera simultaneously.
Those are amazing. The way you capture all the details is incredible. The faux firehole is really a fun idea too!
Uh wow! You’re awesome! I need to send you some pics of my pooches. What do you charge?
Thanks for coming back by Ma, What’s For Dinner! Glad I got the chance to come check out your little pad again! I need to get one of those pup pics!

Wow you did such a great job! I paint as well when I find the time. About once a year, that is. And these are just great!
