Here we go again.  30 in 30.  I signed up for this painting challenge on Leslie Saeta's blog.  She is the host of a podcast I listen to called Artists Helping Artists.  She hosts this painting Challenge twice a year.  This is my 4th challenge.  I started doing pet portraits last January and decided to do pets again this time. 

This is Roo.  Her owner, Ellicia says that she is a "Fiesty Little rocket with the biggest heart...she loves to meet new people! (I know, weird for a Chihuahua)"

I think she is pretty sweet.  Ellicia thought she was too sad in the first version of the painting, so I tried to "cheer her up"

Day 28

Wow, day 28.  I am so proud of my stick-to-itiveness........my perseverance. 

We are at our cabin and my view is so lovely.  There's a fire in the wood stove, and the chickadees and squirrels are in the bird feeders. My husband had a little visit with a couple deer and all is right with the world. 

We are enjoying a nice quiet weekend after a week of looking after our grandchildren.  (I do miss their smiling little faces though. ).  

Today's painting is their dog, Milo.  He's a 14 year old Bichon Shih Tzu cross. He is our very first Granddog, and we love to pieces.

30 paintings in 30 days. Day 25

January 25

We are staying with our grandchildren, and two dogs and two cats, while our son and daughter in law are in the Dominican. (Lucky ducks). We are pretty lucky, too.  We love those little munchkins.   However, yesterday, they were both sick! So they stayed home from school.....we talked to their parents and they made the call, thank goodness.  As a result,  my painting ended up an after-bedtime event. 

   This is Brie,one of our  our granddogs.  We've bonded more over this last week. As a pup she would always jump in our fish pond (of course......she's a lab) upsetting the fountain and the fish. Lol. 

  She's matured and has much better manners now.  We had a fun photo session Sunday morning and she was so attentive, I got some great pictures.
