In the Fan website

My other website about life in the Richmond neighborhood I live in.

New last name new website

MIA

I know I haven't been on here in quite a while. I haven't painted either so have not had anything to put up. We have been renovating a 2nd home and it definitely was more work than we anticipated. It's now done but it took up every free moment I had.

So now I plan to finish up some commitments I promised way too long ago. It's a new year and I am planning on spending alot more time painting!

Big brown eyes

This is the cutest little guy.

The Wedding Dress

I painted this because spring has sprung and it's wedding season!

I have been very busy getting our house ready for a house tour.  It's a kitchen and garden tour and a couple hundred people are going to be going through our house on the tour.  It raises money for my women's club and then we in turn give that back to the community as grants so it's for a good cause.  So needless to say painting anything other then the house has not been a top priority for the last month and a half.  Therefore I haven't updated my blog as often as I had planned...

Cat Painting

I fell in love with the photo above taken by Sam Javanroug.  I probably spent 15 hours painting this little guy.

Hen

I am not sure why but I was inspired to paint a chicken. I did have a chicken sandwich for lunch so maybe that was it.  I love the tail feathers in this one.  

My family

I took this photo in Nags Head, North Carolina.  I was going for that cute hiney shot you always see on the beach but the puppy's were not cooperating.  

Little Boy Blue... I mean Little Dog Blue

I wanted to see how my puppy looked properly outfitted.  I think he looks "well good" as they say in England.

Yes I know I didn't paint the whole thing.  I just edited it in photoshop and painted him a new "paw" and put in my puppy's face.   

Open arms

I painted this for my fellow friends at work.  We are all on a new adventure.

Little Mann

This is little.  He was a rescue from Angel Dogs.  He is the sweetest most loving dog I've ever owned... actually he owns us.  We are his rescues.

This is a portrait I painted of him recently.  He's a great model!
