Elle

This sweet girl is one of the dogs from our shelter.  I couldn't stop thinking about her this past week.  She liked to sit calmly in her kennel, watching every move I made.  I could get lost in her eyes.  I was praying that she would be adopted.  When I went into the shelter today I saw that she had found her forever home!  I'm so happy for her!

Sing It With Feeling

I've been working on a few commissioned paintings lately.  It's been wonderful and challenging; just the way I like it!  Today, however,  I felt the need to paint something that I picked out.  Isn't this pup adorable!  The expression on his face just makes me smile!  I used a photo I found on Pixabay as a reference to paint this soulful lab.  It makes me want to get out and do some caroling!
