One painting I was able to do, and am posting now, has a little story. The title is "Gypsy", and Gypsy is my husband's youngest daughter's dog. Jennifer rescued her from an animal shelter, not knowing how old. Well, the years have come and gone, and Gypsy's age is showing, especially the cataracts in her eyes. Jennifer was willing to have surgery for her, but tests showed it couldn't be done. One day, while Jennifer was visiting for the weekend, I downloaded some pics from her camera. I came across one in particular, zoomed in, and cropped. Viola!! "Gypsy". What is great---I performed "artistic surgery" and successfully removed the cataracts!! I am planning on giving the painting to Jennifer as a surprise, perhaps for Christmas, if I can wait that long.
Enjoy, and Smile while you Paint (it releases tension). Learned that on the tennis court.
"Gypsy", pastel, 8"x6"
