Happy Birthday Phoebe - A PORTRAIT OF GUS!


YESTERDAY MY SWEET ONLY DAUGHTER CELEBRATED HER 17TH BIRTHDAY
BABY PHOEBE WITH THE CHOCOLATE EYES BABY PHOEBE WITH THE CHOCOLATE EYES

I won't get all mushy on you...lets save that for ALL of next year when I prepare for her to leave home for College...but suffice to say...she has grown up much too fast...

PHOEBE HAS A CAT NAMED GUS.

Gus came into our lives, Phoebe's life after our family had suffered a great loss. He has brought such comfort and joy into Phoebe's  life and I believe he has helped her heart to heal. Gus spends 99% of his time in her room, coming out as if on a recognizance mission when he needs to tend to his bathroom needs of grab a bit of chow. He is a FRAIDY cat for sure...but he melts in Phoebe's arms and adores her unconditionally.

I DECIDED THAT  the perfect birthday gift for me to give my sweet sweet girl was
to paint a portrait of GUS  !!!

YOUNG HOUSE LOVE SHOWHOUSE - THE BURGER IS UP!



I HAVE been working with John and Sherry from YOUNG HOUSE LOVE   for a while now, painting like crazy,  in preparation for their RICMOND SHOWHOUSE.

They have been amazing, as always...TRULY they are two of the most down to earth people I have ever met!....and basically the just asked for ....anything you have.... we will LOVE!!!...the only requested piece was this 36" x 36" portrait of their Chihuahua "BURGER"...to place over the fireplace as a nod to their design..and dog...as he is a major player in their life and blog....
I am so grateful for this opportunity to have my ART seen on such a large scale by such a wonderful following ...and cannot wait to paint more portraits for anyone that would like your own BURGER!
we had BURGER over our fireplace for a few months and the space is quite bare now...time to paint my own...but who do I paint??? Charlie? Dash? Muffin? or one of the cats? stay tuned....
