The past week has been very busy indeed. My son and my daughter (in-law) just purchased their very first home. They had been renting our ‘stick and brick’ home. So we spent the past week helping them paint and ready the new home for their move in over the past weekend. Now that they are all moved in, we will be preparing our ‘stick and brick’ home for the market……aargh….more painting is in our future!
I did manage between painting walls to paint a bit at my easel as well. Here is the finished portrait of Pip.
I have never met Pip….in person, that is….but I feel like I know him so well. He has such a sweet personality shining through those eyes!
I had some questions last time about my videoing process and equipment. So, I’ve put together a little bit of info on a new page I’ve added here to my web site…..find it here
Question and Comments are always welcome!
He’s beautiful. I wouldn’t have the patience for such realism
Wonerful. Every time I see your painting you manage to trick me, I keep forgeting that they are paintings, but honeslty they are so real that I thought of photos.
What a fabulous painting Debbie! It’s been such fun following Pip’s progress. Wishing you ease and grace getting your house ready for the market.
What a beautiful painting Debbie! The eyes absolutely pull one into the painting. What a sweet boy you are Pip! Thanks for sharing with us Debbie:)
Thank you Nancy! Yes, I spend a lot of time on the eyes. “The eyes are the windows to your soul.” William Shakespeare had it exactly right!
Oh, it’s beautiful! It’s been so inspiring watching your progress.
Thank you, Tat! Again feeling blessed to know what I do is inspiring, a very special complement indeed!
Hello Debbie,
You’re so talented. Pip is extremely gorgeous and those eyes. Love them. Soooo cute and sooo real. You’re certainly blessed to be able to sketch this way.
Wishing you a great start to the week:)
Thank you Hema…..I do feel blessed in so many wonderful ways!
Oh Pip! I’m in love with him, too! Debbie, your talent shines in every one of your paintings. Thank you for being an inspiration to me. 🙂
Thank you Harmony! I love the fact that I inspire you, that is a very high compliment and one I feel very blessed to have received!
You’ve certainly captured Pip’s personality in this lovely painting, Debbie. Good luck with the house sale. At least part of the prep doesn’t requiring moving all your stuff out. Enjoy.
Thanks Nanette! Yes…the house is empty and that does make the job a bit easier.
He looks so very content lounging on the comfy cushion with one ear cocked. Such a splendid job, Debbie. I’ll bet his human will be thrilled. Sending you best wishes for a speedy paint, spruce up and sale of your home so that you can get back to more canvas painting.
Thanks Kelly! Fingers crossed that the house sells quick!
Debbie, what a fantastic job you did with Pip! Love…
Thanks Sue!
Such a sweet looking boy. The realism you achieve is always so amazing.
Cheers to you!
