Holiday Distractions (2)

Where have I been regarding these blogs? Please carefully look at these pictures--they may explain much. The top one is of our 11-month old Lhasa Apso/Pekinese "poopy" named Molly. She is perturbed (DUH). The second picture explains why.... Allow me to introduce Mindy Pom-Pom Kainer--age 9 weeks, weight 3.1 pounds, and a butterball Shih Tzu who was tucked into my 10-year-old daughter's doll cradle for a nap (by, guess who?). May they play in peace and let us rest through the night....

Daisy

Acrylic on canvas, 9x12--SOLD

Here's another local pooch--a Boston Terrier puppy named "Daisy." I'm particularly fond of the pink pearl necklace her owner made for her (which also has a diamond pendant). Too adorable!

Jasmine

Acrylic on cotton canvas, 9x12--SOLD

Here is precious little Jasmine, a local pomeranian. My puppy, Molly, was not thrilled with the attention I gave her fluffy "rival." However, Molly finally had her first professional grooming this morning. Now that she is presentable, perhaps I should get started on her portrait (before releasing her into the wet backyard...).

Sadie

Acrylic, 8x6--SOLD

I had the pleasure to recently attempt a pet portrait, no strings attached, from an e-mailed photo. The result, "Sadie," is shown. I am thrilled that her owners thought I had captured her likeness and I'm looking forward to more "attempts," including a portrait of my own puppy! Thank you for your vote of confidence!
