here is an acrylic painting of my friend julie's best friend 'teddy' who sadly passed away a few years ago. i figured it would probably make her sad when i gave it to her for her birthday, but i knew she would love to have this as a reminder of such a wonderful dog.

here are a couple of copies that i did for a friend who loves this style, and in the hockey one i painted 3 of the kids with outfits of her own 3 kids!

along with my header painting, here are a couple others of my wild animal phase. the giraffes is a 30 x 30 canvas and the tiger cub and her mother is only a 12 x 14 and i still own them all!

animal phase

after the houses, i go into my animal painting phase and this is a siamese cat that i painted directly onto the bathroom wall. i like the second photo with the blinds casting a shadow, so that you can see the eyes better than in the first photo. i tried to make him life size but my son-in-law teases me about being a HUGE life size cat!

here is the painting of my sister's entrance to her condo which she took a photo of last week!
