PPF Peanut and Lily, Chihuahuas to paint

  I did this 8x10 acrylic portrait of my dog Lily 13 years ago, 

from this photo.

And now I have a new Chihuahua puppy dog 12 weeks old and such a cutie! We named her Peanut. I guess I need to paint her picture next.

I made her her own Facebook Page, a You Tube channel and a blog, which might be a little excessive.  LOL. 

Watercolors Still Life and Dogs, PPF

Another Busy Week

Yes, I have been busy painting this week. I actually finished more than a dozen pieces of art, including more Valentine ACEOs for the 30/30 challenge on FB.

"Pears, Bowl and Reflections," Watercolor, pen and ink.

Still Life, 8.5 x 11 on 140# Hot Press Paper. This is from a challenge photo posted on the Reference Photos for Artists group on Facebook. It runs all month, but I like to get it done first thing.

And I am working on 30 Paintings in 30 Days with Leslie Saeta's Blog group. Mostly I am doing animals / pet portraits.

And, a Cityscape, at night.

This was the challenge on DPW this week, and it was a stretch for me. I don't do buildings, cars and people like this, but I love to try new things. I kinda liked it afterwards. It's my style, I suppose. Watercolor, Pen and ink! Loose style.

A Cow, A Pig, A Landscape and Chip the Chihuahua (Again) PLUS Nibblefest links

It always amazes me when I look back on my week and see all the stuff I have done, and I still feel like I have a lot of time on my hands.
