ONE DOWN and a FEW to go....

Well, I finished ONE commissioned painting during my time off.

I did it in my illustrated collage style.

I used acrylics, papers and Inktense pencils.

My friend wanted it to be of her longhair Dachshund who is constantly digging holes. 

I wrapped the cut paper around the sides so that there is no need for a frame.

Then I sealed it in a matte finish.

I hope she likes it! She will be getting it Thursday.

I've got a few other works in progress and I made a huge dent in my gardening chores so that gave me some satisfaction.

In other news, I'm back at work.

On the Plus side,  I'm doing all the flower containers for the clinic.
(Wahoo! Anything to be outside!)

On the Minus side is that 3 of the rescued abused dogs are now here at the clinic
and it hurts my heart to look at them. 

But on the Plus, they are getting better and the fourth dog is already at a rescue!

So... Enough about that.

Sigh.

FIVE MORE PAINTINGS...I'm on a roll!
