Hello,
I've been a member of the craft community awhile but haven't been very faithful. Anyway, I just joined the beading forum and I think your pet paintings are beautiful. I'm also an artist, but have basicily done graphite portraits and one cat and some pencil crayon portraits. My son has a white lab and I want to do a drawing in coloured pencil. Painting still scares me! I was stumped because I usually work on white strathmore bristolboard but I couldn't see it being a good background. Your lab on the cranberry slate has given me the idea to use a coloured background! I guess sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. I love your coloured abstract backgrounds too.
