Face 24.. 50 Shades of Moo: Old Bossy Feb 24,2013

Face 24 was a fun one..    I originally thought i'd just paint a cow portrait when my husband suggested I make the cow up and an art friend suggested adding glasses..  I put in the book and then asked for suggestions for a book title and she said "50 Shades of Moo".. Now I read the 50 shades book too.. so thought her suggestion was great! Thank you Vicky Knowles!..  Notice the cow bell on the book cover..

I'm going to have to paint more fun ones like this!  I enjoyed it so much!

Face 20.. Pheasant painting Feb 20,2013

Face 20.. a friend of mine sent me a pic of her pheasant, Rocky to paint for the faces challenge.  Thank you Michelle for letting me paint your pretty bird!   I love the colors on this guy.  I guess I wasn't familiar with pheasants and realize how pretty they are.  Wow!

For the 13th face I finally painted my blue merle collie, Gumbo.  I also do some photography and he's one of my favorite subjects to photograph.  He's so beautiful.  I've wanted to paint him for a while and finally did!

Here's Gumbo

Face #12 Feb 12, 2013

For Face #12.. I wanted to experiment with a fun hair color and starting with my favorite color PINK! I  just love the color pink.. and love this pink bubble gum color hair she has and her beautiful pony tail.  Very pleased with how she turned out and painted her profile view so I could showcase her pretty hair.

Face 8, Feb 8th, 2013

For the 8th face in the 29 Faces Challenge.  I decided to paint a portrait of my cat, Milton.  I took this photo with my cell phone and thought it was a purrfect photo to paint from.   Milton is a maine coone mix with tuxedo.  Very sweet.. I adopted him in 2009 from a rescue group with his brother Simon.  

I really enjoyed seeing Milton come to life in this painting!
