"Sweet Pea's Ready To Party!" Pet Portrait Painting

This is a pet portrait I just finished of my cousin's dog Sweet Pea, gouache on bristol board, 2013.  Sweet Pea loves a good party and is always dressed accordingly! This was really fun to paint, especially since my cousin (and Sweet Pea) have a good sense of humor.

"Whatever Lola Wants" Pet Portrait Painting

This is a pet portrait I just finished of my cousin's dog Lola, gouache on bristol board, 2013.  I really love it when dogs wear clothes - especially shoes!! I love Lola's expression in this, she's such a little sweetheart.

Misfit Pup Pet Portrait

This is a portrait I painted of my friend's dog Chicken Nugget, ready for Halloween (although I think dressing like a Misfit is acceptable any day), gouache on bristol board 2013.

I really love Chicken Nugget's expression… it's priceless! And her ears really are that big <3

Tiffany Kitten Painting, 2013

This is one of the first paintings that inspired the Naughty List series, gouache on bristol board, 2013.  I've always loved how my cats "help" me wrap presents and play with the bows afterward (or before!) they've been unwrapped.  This little kitten has very expensive taste, but who doesn't?

"Snap Gingersnap!" Naughty List #1 Christmas Kitten Series Painting

Here is the 1st painting I did for the Naughty List Christmas Kitten series, gouache on bristol board, 2013.  I have a soft spot for ginger cats, so this one is special to me.  Plus they usually have such beautiful blue eyes!  This little guy is a little mischievous and climbed up a Christmas tree (if you have ever had a kitten I'm sure you've experienced this)! 

This painting is available as a print &amp; as a greeting card on my etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RayRayWorks

"Shake It, Don't Break It!" Naughty List #4 Christmas Kitten Series Painting

Here's another painting I did for the Naughty List Christmas Kitten series, gouache on bristol board, 2013.  This was another one that was fun to paint because I used one of my favorite antique family Christmas ornaments.  Have you noticed that every cat, no matter how old they are simply can't resist swiping the low-hanging ornaments?  It must be a cat weakness in all of them!

"Did I Do That?!" Naughty List #2 Christmas Kitten Series Painting

Here's another painting I did for the Naughty List Christmas Kitten series, gouache on bristol board, 2013.  This one was fun because I painted one of my favorite family Christmas ornaments.  I was inspired to paint this one because my old cat used to somehow get tangled in Christmas lights EVERY time I was decorating the tree… I know he was only trying to help ;)

Naughty kittens love getting coal in their stocking!!

Bah Humbug! Santa's Little Helper Pet Portrait

Happy Holidays! I'll be posting a bunch of dog portraits - I've fallen so behind on blog postings!

Here is a painting I did recently, gouache on bristol board, 2013, entitled "Bah Humbug! Santa's Little Helper." Obviously this little guy is feeling in the Christmas spirit with his festive costume… I really love this one.
