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.👍 So take care of yourself by caring for an animal!❤️🐾💯 - #petraits 🎨 #animalsareawesome 🐾😽🐶🐭🐰🐴🦎🐍🐐🦔🦆 . . . . . . . . . . #dogart #catart #dogpainting #catpainting #dogportrait #catportrait #petart #healthcare #dogs #cats #hearthealth #adoptdontshop #rescuethemall #animalwelfare #dogmom #catmom #fosterpet #memorialpetpainting #fostermom #ferret #beardie #beardeddragon #duck #customart #petpainting #originalart #petportrait #smallbusiness

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.💪 Razzle does THE funniest tippy-tap-dance when he figures out we're going somewhere!😄❤️ - What's cute about your doggo going outside?🐶 Sometimes I can't get Razz to come inside because he loves sunbathing so much!😆🙄☀️ . #pertraits 🎨 #animalsareawesome 🐾🐶🐐🦆🐰🐴🦎🐢🐍🐁🦔😽 . . . . . . . . . . #dogart #dogportrait #dogpainting #customart #dogbreeds #labrador #shihtzu #poodle #dachshund #yorkie #chow #frenchie #woof #ball #fetch #bark #walkies #dogsofinsta #dogdad #furbaby #bestfriend #adoptdontshop #pupper #customart #petpainting #originalart #petportrait #smallbusiness 
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!😁💯🐾 - #petraits 🎨 #animalsareawesome 🐾🐶😽🦔🐁🐍🐴🐰🦆 . . . . . . . . . . #dogart #dogportrait #dogpainting #customart #dogbreeds #labrador #shihtzu #poodle #dachshund #yorkie #chow #frenchie #woof #fetch #bark #walkies #dogmom #dogdad #furbaby #bestfriend #adoptdontshop #pupper #customart #petpainting #originalart #petportrait #smallbusiness #wirehair #portraitseries

❤️Floater frames❤️ Do you have an original painting on canvas that you'd like to frame? (Maybe one you ordered from me?!)🤗🎨 Framing art does NOT have to involve glass!👀🤨 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.👌💞💯💥 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.👏👍 - #petraits 🎨 #animalsareawesome 🐾🐱🐶🐰🐴🐍🐁🐐🦔🦆 . . . . . . . . . . #supportlocalartists #shophandmade #fineartist #shoplocal #shopkc #shopsmall #homedecor #interiordesign #floaterframe #buyart #buyoriginal #originalart #fineart #acrylicpainting #bestgiftever #artistforhire #handmade #maker #framedcanvas #womanownedbusiness #frameart #commissionsopen #oneofakind #customart #petpainting #originalart #petportrait #smallbusiness
