painting Henry & more

 

It has been a while since I’ve shared some pics of what I’ve been painting. I’ve kept busy with markets, faux cupcake orders, and working on my mile-long list to be completed before our trip to the States.

I have to say, for the first one, I was nervous about how it would turn out.  I haven’t painted or drawn a dog since my own baby furry girl Fluffy was alive {she went over the Rainbow Bridge in 1996}….and haven’t attempted painting my Ernie yet. 

I was nervous because Henry is an adorable, much-loved, fur baby.  When you’re painting pink and fluffy things – inanimate objects – your client won’t have the same attachment as they do to their little family members.  Painting Henry the Pug was such a change from pink, and it gave me such pleasure to be able to paint something close to someone’s heart.

I’m glad to say Henry’s human Mum loves it.

Meet Henry…..

 

And just to be sure I could still do the “pink thing”, a custom order tutu painting for a little girl. Mum is picking it up today and looking forward to hanging it up in her daughter’s room.

Well, my to-do list isn’t disappearing…. better get to it!

Thanks for visiting,
