another "commission"

10 July 2012
another commission of sorts
One of my friend's children who requested the bunny portrait also asked for a castle, so I painted this for her.  It's based on a historic picture of Neuschwanstein Castle.

I painted this for a friend's children (their pet).  I have to say, it's the first bunny portrait I've ever done.

the puppy before there was a puppy

2 July 2012
We'd been thinking about getting a pup for the last month or so.  I drew this for a card for my husband last month during the contemplation stage (or my obsession stage, as my husband viewed it).  At the time I was considering a labrador retriever so that's why this little guy looks nothing like Nigel.

10" x 8", acrylic on paper
I've been distracted lately with our pup, Nigel...  I know it's probably only of interest to me, my husband, and maybe some friends and family, but in case anyone's interested in seeing endless pictures and little videos of our puppy (well, we've only had him for a few days, so they haven't piled up quite yet - but they likely will), I'm posting them on my other blog, Large Yellow Dog Studio.  Cheers!
