I love Zazzle! It's fun and addictive, in a good way! Please check it out at www.zazzle.com/zannypetz Buy something! http://www.onewomansart.com/basset-hound-designs-from-an-original-acrylic-painting/ 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 ... http://www.onewomansart.com/acrylic-on-board-painting-ive-been-pugged/ 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! ... http://www.onewomansart.com/theres-a-zebra-in-my-living-room-life-sized-and-hand-painted/ 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" ... http://www.onewomansart.com/acrylic-painting-lounging-polar-bear/ 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 ... http://www.onewomansart.com/gouache-painting-boston-terrier-commissioned-portrait/ 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 ... http://www.onewomansart.com/acrylic-painting-arabian-horse/ 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. ... http://www.onewomansart.com/computer-artzanny-rants-now-on-zazzle/ 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 ... http://www.onewomansart.com/acrylic-paintingthe-little-rooster-barnyard-brat/ 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. [caption id="attachment_193" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="Keebler Alf"][/caption] http://www.onewomansart.com/gouache-opaque-watercolor-painting-in-honor-of-the-cutest-dog-ever/ 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 ... http://www.onewomansart.com/gouache-painting-a-hound-at-the-horse-show/
