On Sunday, April 15, I had my art show at Revolver Consignment! I painted 8 different animals dressed in costume... a pig wearing a tiera, a lizard in a top hat, etc. Another crafty gal, Marilyn Tilley, set up her handmade accessories and we had local food and drink available. Pavlov's Dogs came out with their hot dog stand, which was a big hit. We had a local brew master donate a keg of awesomely delicious beer. We had Best Friend Pet Adoption group there taking donations, too. It was a good time.
I was hoping for more people, but with the weather being so beautiful outside that day and it being two days before taxes being due, I understand that peoples' minds were elsewhere. :) And that's okay. They are still up on display, so take a peek today! I am thinking these would make cool prints to put my Etsy shop, too.
Now on my Etsy shop: Plott Hound puppy and Three little Pigs painting print. This original painting won Honorable Mention at the "Southern Menagerie" exhibit at the Raleigh Convention Center. The original painting was sold, but the prints are available for purchase. They are printed on high quality photo matte paper and framed in a 8x8 size frame. Makes a great gift!
Woof Gang Bakery at North Hills in Raleigh has been reeling in the customers, which is awesome!! Here are a few custom pet portraits I painted for those customers. I love when the customers send me photos of their beloved painting hanging on their wall! Thanks for your support. :)

I've been working on creating custom greeting cards and stationery in Amy's Creative Corner. A set of custom stationery was ordered as a gift for a bridal shower. Hopefully all of the recipients of those cards will notice my stamped logo on the back and check out my website!! :) After painting several pet portraits for Woof Gang Bakery, it is nice to take a little Paper Break and get to my sewing machine.
