Sweet Nomo. She was a very good next door neighbor and friend for many years. When her pawents moved in across the street we still had our Wiley boy. He was old and grumpy already the day they brought the tiniest mini-me home. And for years we watched her grow up into a cranky old lady herself(mostly just toward overactive puppies, haha). Think it might just be a basset trait. 😋 But seriously, she could howl with the best of them and LOVED treats and pets. I know somewhere over the rainbow she is being smothered with all the lovin’s and treats she could ever want, and maybe she will slip a little hello to our Wiley too. 🥲

Happy ‘tini-Tuesday pals!! It was such a pleasure to paint sweet Queenie for her espresso ‘tini-loving mama. Every queen deserves a gold-rimmed glass to sip from don’t you think?! 👑🐶

I seriously am so excited I got the chance to paint another martini pup portrait. If you have a different favorite cocktail or beverage and a fuzzy pal to pair it with, send me a DM. I’d love to add to my cocktail/mocktail/beverage pet portrait collection. 🐱🐶🐰🍸🍹🍷🧋☕️

Counting the days until our first real snow!!! For now I’ll just look at this cutie and pretend. I hope y’all have a good Thursday and finish out the week strong!! Just 2 weeks until Christmas friends!!

We actually had a beautiful week tempwise and I’ve even gotten a few walks in, in the afternoons. I actually saw the little guy that inspired this illustration the other day driving to work and it made me excited. Though this is not a new illustration it was inspired by a cute little ground hog that I would frequently spot on my walk/jogs. It’s been a while since I spotted it(or most likely a family member) so that was just a nice little surprise. 💞🦫
