If I can’t draw a human with an animal, I can always dress him up as one. #savethebees #ArtIwantToMake https://www.instagram.com/p/BsnamA1H8VQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=6pv2atz1258l

Is it any surprise that Edna is at the top of my top nine? Edna is a senior rescue from animal rescue advocate @wolfgang2242 ..there’s something about Edna that reminds me of all that was fun in my childhood. Maybe it’s that her wild hair and bright colored clothing remind me of the amazing stand up comedian Phyllis Diller who always made me laugh whenever I saw her on old TV shows like Hollywood Squares or Laugh-In. Maybe it’s Edna’s soulful eyes or indomitable spirit. I just know whenever I see her and her crew of furry, feathery, hairy siblings @wolfgang2242 I always smile. If your heart is in need of some warming, please check out @wolfgang2242 Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/Brc41RuHXdX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1bnui1g9anmaw

Meet Oscar and Laura. This little guy was the apple of his mom’s eye. I love including the people in our furry friends lives. I look at this painting and all I see is love. It reminds me of the same love I feel for my Priscilla. Thank you Laura for commissioning me to paint your portrait with Oscar. #soulmutt #rainbowbridge https://www.instagram.com/p/BrF_g8XH91L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w40vo0dobg4s

Finishing up a very special commission this morning. I love drawing dogs too! & I love being able to work from digital photos people send me. Using my iPad allows me to enlarge different areas so I can easily see more details I can use for reference in my work.

Today's daily affirmation: Ask yourself, how do I use my hands for good, especially if it's something you do for yourself. Self love is important. #100daysofhands

As if a place as warm & serene this time of year isn't surreal enough..this happens. An adorable couple getting their wedding pics taken. Both young & happy, both with arms covered in tats, a sign they are definitely on the same page about things 😍😍 & beginning their lives together & celebrating in paradise.
