8″x10″ acrylic, 2011. Our nephews are absolutely mad for things that go! I painted a wooden train for choo-choo crazy Sean when he was two. Today is Sean’s little brother Kevin’s second birthday, and since he loves any and all vehicles, I thought I’d paint my favorite vintage Fisher-Price toy bus [...]
8″x10″ acrylic, 2011. I was beyond excited when Bethenny Frankel’s very nice assistant contacted me!

5″x7″ acrylic, 2011. Oliver has many close friends, but this elephant blanket is his main squeeze.

5″x7″ acrylic, 2011.
This portrait might look a bit familiar… it is my second painting of Meriwether’s beloved Pound Puppy, which she has had since childhood. When she recieved the original portrait, her mother liked it so much that Meriwether decided to order another one for her, too! This situation was an exciting [...]
5″x7″ acrylic, 2011. Well, I’m pretty sure that this is the fuzziest bunny I have ever painted! I got lost in it’s pink fur for hours and hours, and enjoyed almost every minute of it. The bunny and the nubby blanket beneath it belong to Olivia, who turns one in [...]
