Poor Peacock

This guy was painted seven years ago and has hung on our wall ever since. For the last few years I had been wanting to redo him a bit, but couldn't remember how I was using mediums back then. Finally this weekend I decided that he was either coming down or getting a facelift; he definitely at least needed an eyeball! Nice to see and feel progress like this.

The "before" photo is below.

Elephant Reflecting

Every so often I feel the need to paint my spirit animal.

Calico Kitten

I have always been a dog person, and my husband is allergic to cats, however, there is something pretty adorable about a soft, cuddly kitten. We found this little one at a pumpkin patch and both of the boys got to hold him. We went back a few weeks later and it was a full grown cat already!

In the Zebra Zone

I have been wanting to do a painting of a zebra for quite some time, mainly because of the black and white patterning. Got completely "lost" in the zone on this one--love when that happens!

Panda (3)

I am still reaping the benefits of my husbands travels to China. The light captured on these panda photos really appeals to me and I am so drawn to painting them; this is the third painting. There is also the beautiful contrast between what appears to be just black and white, yet is really a gorgeous combination of yellows, browns, purples, and blues.
