Ms Prickles seems to like her portrait! It’s always nice when the subject approves.

A pet portrait I completed this week, of Goose, Ms Prickles, and Leo. It's acrylics on canvas, 11x14". I loved painting them as a dashing trio, but I can't decide if they're ready for a night on the town, or up to no good. Maybe a little of both. ☺️ #art #petportraits #fancycats

I’m scared for this country and for the people I care about, the people in my community, my coworkers, and all the folks out there struggling.

Well, it's the end of January , so I'll be taking my 2025 "Wild Tales" animal art calendar out of my Etsy shop soon. You can still get it through Monday, though, and if you do, you can use this code for 15% off: SAVE2025 (It's good for anything in my shop!) www.etsy.com/listing/1836...

A while back I was commissioned to paint this fluffy pup as Abe Lincoln (a unique request, but why not?). He was a pleasure to portray. The painting is 11x14, acrylics on canvas. #art #onlybeautifulthings #petportrait

It was 35° this morning and I DID NOT want to go for a run. But I put my shoes on and told myself I had to just go as far as I felt like and then I could stop. Ended up with two PRs to my surprise and delight!! In a couple of weeks I’ll be 59 and I’ve never felt this good in my life. #runningover50

This variegated hellebore was looking great in a brief sunbreak - I’m a little worried about the freezing temperatures we’re looking at next week. Not for this guy; these are tough as nails, but for the all the other little buds and bulbs getting anxious to pop up.

A quick freelance job I did over the holidays; this Pennsylvania retreat wanted a watercolor map of their properties and unique buildings for visitors' reference. It was a delight to work on, and I added some fun extras like the sheep. Hoping to do more maps in the future! #illustration #notAI

This elegant lady is Elphaba. Commissioned to star in her own classical portrait, this fluffy calico shines in regal teal and blue tones, complete with an ornate lace collar. Her graceful pose and inquisitive gaze made her an absolute delight to paint—and the results are fit for a feline queen! 🐾👑

Shamelessly stolen, but amusing.
