  • More heart-healthy reasons to bring a pet into your life.❀️
For me, it's the calming presence pets offer.🐾 When I'm stressed or upset, it helps to just sit with a pet & visit with them. 
There's a reason why pets are brought in to visit nursing homes, hospitals, and rehab centers.πŸ‘
So take care of yourself by caring for an animal!β€οΈπŸΎπŸ’―

  • Progress painting a sheepdog.🐢 It means reversing my routine: I have to paint the face first then makes sense of all this fur!😳πŸ€ͺ
In my head I see this cute face peering through a mop of fun curls and dreads...we'll see.🀞😊

  • When we discovered hubby's allergic, we made the switch from cats to dogs...wow!😯 I remember thinking this is a lot of time we're spending outdoors and gosh is he needy!🀦I wouldn't change a thing as Razzle Dazzle is amazing. But, I'm still up & down the stairs and in & out the door every couple of hours for his needs.
For those of us who work from home, it's important to get outta this chair frequently!🐢🐾
Plus as a #dogmom I want to make him happy, so venturing out to the park for an adventure is keeping me active.πŸ’ͺ Razzle does THE funniest tippy-tap-dance when he figures out we're going somewhere!πŸ˜„β€οΈ

What's cute about your doggo going outside?🐢
Sometimes I can't get Razz to come inside because he loves sunbathing so much!πŸ˜†πŸ™„β˜€οΈ

  • Look at this fur!😯 I've never painted a coat quite like this...Sparky has a complicated color combination in his wire hair. It's intriguing.😍🐢
This lil' guy is another addition in a series for a family honoring all their pets. Sparky is full of life & having fun with his family. In fact, I'll get to meet him when I deliver his painting! Can't wait to see this  unique doggo in person!πŸ˜πŸ’―πŸΎ

  • ❀️Floater frames❀️ Do you have an original painting on canvas that you'd like to frame? (Maybe one you ordered from me?!)πŸ€—πŸŽ¨
Framing art does NOT have to involve glass!πŸ‘€πŸ€¨ A "floater frame" allows the surface of your original canvas to remain as is while adding a nice formal perimeter to work. The canvas looks like it's floating inside the frame.πŸ‘ŒπŸ’žπŸ’―πŸ’₯
1st pic here is my Winter Husky framed in a natural birch wood frame.😍
You'll find lots of retail options for these, just search "floater frame". But remember to #buylocal when you can.πŸ‘πŸ‘
