Yes, I'm still around

I have become terrible at keeping up this blog! I will try to do better ;) Here are a couple of paintings I finished recently...

Every morning the Chuckars come down off the mountain to eat and drink. I've always wanted to paint one, they are so sweet. 💕 In the spring they bring their babies down to our yard, this is one of the Mommas.

This is my beloved Mini Schnauzer, Katie. She passed away 4 months ago at 13 years old. I don't think my heart will ever be the same. I miss her and think of her every day. Painting her portrait was very healing and it was as if she and I were connecting. 💕
