I almost never get to witness someone receiving one of my pet portraits… so I got in a nice cry this morning when opened her gift from .charlseymcdonald - so sweet, thank you for sharing that moment with me!

In terms of the painting, after stalking Elizabeth’s insta I thought that combining two photos made more sense (because her cat is usually very wide eyed in all but that one photo). She confirmed that today! Thanks ladies for making my morning!

Leon was the Unofficial Program Mascot for USC and a delight to paint! His favorite color was red, obviously. ♥️

New Silver Lining / Circle series coming to very soon! ☁️

“Tears For Bubbles”
18x24”

Send me a lot of amazing photos, you just might get an extra sketch with your painting commission!

I communicate with each collaborator throughout to get the perfect painted portrait, including which image we reference. 🌊

Thank you for trusting me with this piece, a gift for a dear friend. ✨

Kitten: we are really small, want to sleep in a pile?

Other kitten: yeah

So the story goes: once again, the classiest sweetest lady commissioned a painting for her friend’s recently departed pup. I finished the painting and it was accidentally shipped to an old address. The painting was in the wind. It was not forwarded or returned (although I know return to senders take a really long time. We found out later that both the friend and the new resident tried to connect via the landlord to no avail.) Denise suggested paying for a new painting… I thought, let’s send a postcard to the “wrong” address and see what happens. In a move that absolutely restored my faith in humanity, the current resident texted me when he got my postcard - “I could tell this was special” 😭 and then he proceeded to mail it directly to Chloe in a Pay it Forward move that melts my heart.
