San Francisco Hippie Bus

A college friend of mine likes to take photos of old cars and posts them to Facebook. She was kind enough to give me permission to paint from one of her wonderful photos. There is something about the orange Volkswagen bus against the yellow house which really draws my eye.

Virtual Paintout Blunder

Well shoot! I was just about to send in my submission for Bill Guffey's Virtual Paintout when I noticed that I had somehow traveled to Alabama instead of Nashville, TN in my virtual sight seeing. Since the place I painted from is out of this month's designated painting area I can't submit it. While this is rather disappointing, I'm also having a good laugh over it! I must have been quite tired when I was looking for a spot to paint from! Regardless, here it is!

Doberman Pinscher

We had the sweetest doberman growing up. She had natural ears and I simply adored her. I have been partial to doberman's ever since and I just couldn't resist painting this sweet puppy. This one is for sale in my etsy store, see below for link.

Emma

Below is a portrait which was commissioned as a gift for a treasured elementary school teacher who was grieving the loss of her beloved dog. What a very kind gesture.
