Birthday Surprise Pet Portrait!

Sarah said it was the best birthday gift ever! Michael surprised his wife by secretly ordering a Pet Portrait Box Frame Print of their dog Hedley a few weeks ago, they stopped in tonight (unbeknown to her to pick it up)...she was very surprised - it was a wonderful moment!

Contact me if you would like to order one of these for yourself, a friend or family member. It's about a 2-3 week turnaround time from the moment you sign off on my final sketch so give yourself plenty of time if you need it by a certain date...and really, it's not too early to start thinking about the holidays...wouldn't it be nice to have the shopping done early this year?!

Collectors & Friends

I've had visits from a few of my collectors this week, coming to see the new studio space for the first time. James & Rosemary Sharp own several of my paintings and just purchased "Man-imal" to add to their collection: this painting was inspired by a sgraffito tile I created at Lill Street a few years back:

  

Today Linnea Blomgren (Board Member at Harmony House for Cats) came to visit with her newly adopted dog from PAWS Chicago, Molly:

It was a lovely afternoon here in Roscoe Village, lots of of new people came in today. The studio/shop felt just how I imagined and hoped it would be on a typical Saturday. Feeling grateful!
