Basset Hound Designs on Zazzle

Suzanne — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 17:50:08 +0000

I just created a couple new t-shirts over at my Zazzle store for basset hound lovers, breeders and rescue organizations featuring an acrylic painting I did of a basset puppy. I love Zazzle! It’s fun and addictive, in a good way! Please check it out at www.zazzle.com/zannypetz Buy something!

Acrylic on Board Painting: I’ve been pugged!

Suzanne — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 06:33:11 +0000

I did this acrylic painting of a little pug for my neighbor’s pug, Hannah, an adult female who REALLY wants to be a mommy. She cries every time she sees this puppy painted on a board! Despite the fact the puppy never moves, it must look real enough to Hannah! Guess the zebra has inspired me! This little pug is life-sized, too, but needless to say, didn’t take nearly the time the zebra did.

There’s a Zebra in my Living Room! Life-sized and Hand-painted

Yup, I made this life-sized guy and named him Zachary the Zebra. He’s made of very fine particle board and hand-painted by me! He’s been with me for years and is a great attention-getter at art shows. He stands guard outside the booth and people can see him for blocks! If you’d like a life-sized, hand painted replica of your pet (or to give as a unique gift or to use in your own booth), email me at artsesue@hotmail!

Acrylic Painting: Lounging Polar Bear

Suzanne — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 20:35:20 +0000

I originally did this as a graphite pencil drawing, but liked the image so much I did an acrylic painting of it too. Although you can’t tell from this photo, the bear’s fur is “textured”, and the background and foreground are irridescent and reflective, like real snow. The original 20″ x 30″ painting, done on finished edge canvas, is posted for sale at http://fineartamerica.com/featured/lounging-polar-bear-suzanne-schaefer.html

Gouache Painting: Boston Terrier Commissioned Portrait

Suzanne — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 17:09:53 +0000

Here is a gouache commissioned portrait painting of Joey, a smart-as-heck, funny loving Boston Terrier. I so enjoy doing commissioned portraits, capturing the personality of the subject. The eyes, in my opinion, are critical. Doesn’t matter if the subject has claws, hooves, paws or fingers.

Please contact me at artsesue@hotmail.com if you’d like to commission a portrait in gouache, acrylic or pencil. Get a piece of original art you’ll treasure for a lifetime!

Acrylic Painting: Arabian Horse

Suzanne — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:21:27 +0000

This acrylic painting was so much fun to do! Of course, as some of you may know, I’m partial to painting and drawing things that are alive (especially if they have eyeballs) but to capture the beauty, elegance and power of horses, ……well, it’s just a treat. Prints of this acrylic painting, on either paper or canvas, are available at http://www.fineartamerica.com/profiles/suzanne-schaefer.html

Computer Art/Zanny Rants Now On Zazzle

Suzanne — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:15:22 +0000

I created this little character named Zanny, a snarky, rather outspoken baby boomer, on my computer and have a blog with the name Zanny Rants. Originally, I did the cartoons just to post on the blog, however…today I opened up a Zanny Rants store at Zazzle and I’m so excited. Haven’t yet got very many images uploaded ~ wish I could clone the worker bee in me ~ but I’ve been up all night figuring this out. It takes time to upload stuff when your computer is a dinosaur. I’ll be adding t-shirts, greeting cards, mugs, mousepads and magnets, just to name a few of the products available.

Zazzle is pretty amazing. I hope you’ll checkout my store at http://www.zazzle.com/zannyrants* Here are a few samples of Zanny speaking her mind. Please let me know what you think of her!

Acrylic Painting/The Little Rooster Barnyard Brat

Suzanne — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:38:21 +0000

Here’s an acrylic painting of Mr. Hotshot, the barnyard brat of a rooster. Cute as all get out, and… as chickens go, one pushy little devil. I snapped a photo of him one day while he was struttin’ his stuff for all the girls. My intention was to capture that big attitude of his.

Gouache (opaque watercolor) Painting: In Honor of the Cutest Dog Ever

Suzanne — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 03:27:30 +0000

This is a gouache (opaque watercolor) painting of Keebler Alf, my dog. He died on Friday at the age of 18, and I miss him. I’m posting this painting in his honor.

Gouache Painting: A Hound at the Horse Show

Suzanne — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 16:58:57 +0000

This is a gouache (opaque watercolor) painting of a beautiful hound dog (I’m not sure what breed) sitting in front of us on the lawn at the recent horse show. She, obviously, could have cared less about what the horses were doing and kept staring at the kids in our group as if to say “Oh please, let’s go play.”
