Paintings from 2018

 

 

 

  
  Paintings from 2018, inspired by.....  
  and and the occasional  
 

 
  It all started with Krista asking me to paint Cory's kids (dogs)-all 4 of them for his birthday!  
     
  Then it just got out of control! Cause he got 1 more- Tigre  
   
  And from there, one thing led to another, and another & another- you'll see!

Storm on the left, Gambit on the right

  
   
  Here's how Cory hung all 5.  
   

Then I thought that Mel's dog, Mr. Pickles, looked cute, so...

  
   
  My daughter asked me to paint her friend's older dog, Solo

  
  Then I painted a dog who had passed on, for a friend. This is my rendition of a Shar-Pei named Moshi- very regal looking

I rec'd a very nice card from Moshi's Mom

 
  Then, I commemorated the one year passing of my Grand-daughters' dog, Isabelle!  
   
  And then I heard that their Mom wanted paintings of all their pets, so...

  Below are all the paintings hanging at my grand-daughters' home  
 

Ashlynn painted Ruby, upper right

  
  Here's a cute little puppy that I saw a photo of. He died very young because of parvo.

His name was Fox but I think of him as my little Bear

  
   
  Then, since Gail looks after Abby sometimes, I painted her little doggie, BJ  
   
  Next, another painting to commemorate the passing of Friscuit, my son & grand-daughters' cat  
   
  Then to remember a beautiful dog that my cousins Mike & Pam had, Cassie...  
   
  Daphne, who cuts my hair , had her little doggie, Cosmo, pass away, so...  
   
     
  So now, time to update Abby, our little Shih-Tzu that has been with us since January 2013- Photo on left is what I painted in 2014- to the right, I just finished.  
   
  She has sure grown a lot darker.  
     
  Olivia saw this on Facebook & said she wanted it! Why, I don't know.  
 

So, here's what I have painted for her. Hope it doesn't scare her! Not even sure what kind of a critter that it is!

  
 

 

  
 

She likes it! His name is Phil!

  
   
  Here's Cricket on the left, & Holly, 2 cute little doggies that lived with Karen & Dave.  
   
  And now I'm back into landscapes- this was inspired by a Christmas card.  
     
   
  And now another doggie- this is Eva. My nephew Cory wanted it painted as a Christmas gift for his brother-in-law, and I finished it about Dec 17th!  
  So, you can see that I've been pretty busy since Feb 2018! This was my last painting for 2018.
