ARF!

This year, I went low tech with the Christmas presents. In addition to a gift card, I put together these portraits of our (and by “our”, I mean “their”) family dogs. My niece and nephews inspired me to pick up a paintbrush and capture the personalities of these extremely cool pups. They are great owners and take very good care of them. I’m proud of them. They have show some mature responsibility.

Photoshop Collage with Vector Elements adhered to balsa wood canvases.
Acrylic paint, ink and pencil crayon.

The kids love these paintings and I love these kids.

One of the things that I am grateful for this year is the addition of these fury little faces to our family.
They have provided joy, comfort and companionship during a challenging year.
