Wow, I can't believe how fast this one came together. This is my brother's puppy, Kaya. One of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. She even posed so nicely for this!! I'm really, really happy with the result!! My daughter told me I should add to this site that I take commissions, so here it is!

Lottie's Window

Yikes! I didn't paint for 2 days, so now I am in catch-up mode. This one is of a window display in downtown Walnut Creek. There is a great ice cream shop there that has the most beautiful and simple window. Also the best ice cream (e.g. bailey's and toffee) and coffee (Blue Bottle). I will be painting like mad this weekend, hopefully i will get more posted soon!!

Here is another old car I spotted near our house. Funny now that I am taking photos of old cars to paint I'm seeing them everywhere! They have such personality!
