Basset Hound Designs on Zazzle
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!
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.
Gouache Painting: Boston Terrier Commissioned Portrait
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 Equine Portrait Painting: Windbreaker
Here’s a commissioned acrylic portrait painting of this incredible stallion, Windbreaker. The day I went with camera in hand to take a series of photos of him, he seemed to instinctively know he was a star, almost as if he was striking various “poses” for me.

Gouache (Opaque Watercolor) Portrait Painting: Yorkshire Terrier
Here’s an example of the portrait work I do… a gouache watercolor painting of Moxie, the little Yorkshire Terrier with a big terrier attitude. She has no clue she’s 3 inches off the ground! I love that little dog.

Acrylic Painting of a Little Mountain Waterfall
Here is an acrylic painting I did of a little mountain waterfall we came across while hiking. My goal was to capture the incredible “sparkly-ness” of the water, as in the fine mist along the large boulder.

Another ArtDeco Painting
Here’s another little 5 x 7 painting done with the paint I discovered and retrieved from the recycling place. I love this paint! Need to get (or make) some new stencils though.

Watercolor Painting of Creek in Spring
I’m so glad spring has arrived. This gouache (opaque watercolor) painting is of the creek north of my home. The trees are just now sending out new leaves and everything is beginning to bloom again. I’ve got to get out with my camera again today!

Gouache Watercolor Painting: Long-haired Kitty
This is a gouache (opaque watercolor) painting of my kitty, Angel. She isn’t with us any longer, but the photo I snapped for this painting was taken one day while I was busy folding laundry on the bed. She accompanied me to every room of the house, which was unusal. That’s a dog thing, isn’t it? Anyway, she had perched on the window sill and was intently studying something, or someone, outside. To me, she looked like a very intense yet contented daydreamer!
