Yes, I love to paint, and I love to paint animals, so I am really lucky that the combination of both of those results in plenty of commissions!
It means I get to paint what I love, AND I know the artwork already has a home!
This is Bella and Jack, an incredibly sweet pair of doxies~
Friday night was the annal Art 4 Shelter fundraiser for Simpson Housing Services, and I was live painting there along with my fellow artists Barrett and Jennie who were also the artists who were with me in 2018! It was super fun, I was able to get two paintings done and both were bid on and claimed!
The first painting was from a photo I found on insta- I need to write to the person and let them know I painted it! The dog is just so sweet and silly and I loved all the fluff!
And the second is an otter~
And there were SOOOO many people! I really hope we did well! Steve is retiring, the guy who has led so much of the work to get the new shelter built over by MIA, and it is beautiful. It's just so hard in the world right now to know what to do next, what can help, and things like this make me feel like I am actually doing something to help, even in just a small way.
