Cool Cat

Cool Cat

I’ve been busy with other endeavors (some creative, others mundane) so it’s been a little while since I’ve posted an image.

Some artist friends really liked this drawing in my sketchbook, so I thought I’d flesh it out. Just a little something for the cat fans!

Sweet cheeks and chompers…

Dentally enhanced sweet cheeks

I was trying to figure out what was missing with the squirrels and it occured to me that it would be pretty hard to eat a nut without teeth. So, after some minor dental surgery (and a new paint job), this little critter is back in service.

Sweet Cheeks…

Squirrels in all colors

Sweet Cheeks

This looks like a squirrel, right? I think I’ve been looking at my computer screen for too long.

Well, the shrinky owl turned out (after a couple tries). The photo makes the white feather outlines more pronounced than they are, and the but otherwise it looks pretty much like this.

I think this one will be the magnet. It will need to be smaller if I make a necklace or earrings.

I’ve been playing with shrinky dink art lately and am going to try this image as a necklace or magnet. Maybe both. I’ll post if it turns out!

Realistic Owl

Owl painting

This is a painting I created a few months ago for a client who wanted more realistic birds on canvas for their baby boy’s room. (There were several in the series.) Just interesting to note the style difference between this and today’s owl drawings. Bit different, no?

By the way, I love doing paintings for kid’s rooms. There are more examples on my website, www.mudpuppystudios.com. If your interested, please let me know.

Colorful Hoots

More owls. More colors. More belly buttons.

Hoot Owl

I’m pretty sure owls don’t have belly buttons, but i’m going with it.

I like the funky colors. Has a woodland feel. I’ll experiment with some other color schemes later. Meanwhile, I must attend to the teething 20 month old.

Everybody loves a puppy…

lucky blue dog

Lucky Dog

Here’s one more new critter before I turn in for the night.

I love drawing dogs, so this was the first animal I sketched in the series. I call this little guy “Lucky Dog”. My hubby was very encouraging when he saw this first drawing, so I kept on making more.

There are a lot more animals to come — plus cute little baby folk that are sweet enough to eat (you’ll see what I mean).
