My Art Gallery
It all starts somewhere, right? Well....this is where it all started in July of 2017. I bought a few tubes of paint, a couple of brushes, some cheap paper, and away I went with not a clue as to what I was doing. I stood at my kitchen counter and painted circles.

I painted everyday. I watched a lot of videos and read a lot of books. Then I found Anna Mason.
Here are some of the paintings I did from her school.

Then....I found Rebecca Rhodes, and so started my journey of painting fur babies. Her school changed it all for me.
Here a few paintings I did from her school.

These three pups I did as a commission for one human. From left to right they are Monty, Ace, and Tom. Each one had their own unique challenges, but I learned a lot from each pup.

Ms. Marley is on the left, and I painted her because of her unique fur.
The lion in the middle I did for my nephew, Nicholas.
Tuck, on the right, was a commission for a friend.

Here are two pastel drawings I did. These are from an Emily-Mei Cross Tutorial that I did.

From left to right we have Duke, Lucy, Willow, and Reggie. These are some pastel pups I did for their humans. I still need a lot of practice, but I really do love how they came out. Humans loved them, too!
