A Lovely Trio

I am excited to share this lovely trio of furry friends! I completed them prior to my wedding vacation, but haven't been able to post them until now.

Enjoy!

This first one, Allie, is very special. She is a hero. She saved her family from a house fire...

Isn't Ruby such a cutie?!? I love her tiny features and long ears...

Last, but certainly not least, Daisy...

I hope you like this group of friends, I know their owner is very happy! Thank you Sheryl for asking me to paint them! What do you all think?

xoxo,

Lisa

My furry love, Jilly-Boo!

I have been doing custom pet paintings for over a year now, and I love seeing all the different expressions and wagging tails. It's great to see the furry characters come to life on the canvas. Even better when the owners are gleaming with excitement.

I finally got some time in between commissioned paintings to work on my furry lovely! This is my silly/lovey/crazy cat: Jilly-Boo. She is one huge fur-ball full of sass. I can't wait for this piece to finish drying so I can hang it in my house. :)

Please visit my art website to see other pieces. 

If you would like to inquire about a custom painting, please email me!

My cup runneth over... and over, and over...

This has been one. amazing. week.  I don't know how else to say it.

I have been consumed by a smile that I can't take off my face. I feel like I am running through a field with a million balloons, just having the time of my life. Truthfully, I am having the time of my life, living my dreams.

Earlier in the week, I posted that I was being represented by a national company Mod Pet Life. Which is great news and I am excited for the doors it will open. Then today, I received a message on facebook from the social web editor of our local Tampa Bay news Bay News 9. He stumbled across my art, through a mutual facebook friend, and really liked it. He liked it so much, in fact, he wanted to interview me. So he did.

The following link is to the article featured on Bay News 9. I am beyond excited and grateful for this opportunity. It's an overwhelming feeling of happiness to see that my artwork has been discovered, liked and shared is such with such a public audience.

I am so thankful for my family and friends who have supported me for years through my artistic endeavors. You helped me reach this point. Thank you for believing in me. My cup runneth over, and I couldn't be more proud.

Here is the article, enjoy!

Meet Milo!

I was recently asked to paint a portrait of Milo. He is such a cute little puppy and I just had to share. This was a surprise gift for my friend and her future husband for their wedding shower, given by the brides younger brother.

When I saw this photo of Milo, I couldn't wait to put it on canvas with my personal twist on it.

And here is the finished piece:

I am so excited to go live with this post! I have been anxiously awaiting to announce to you all that my art is being represented by a fabulous modern pet company called Mod Pet Life. If you are a modern pet owner, this site is for you. Not only am I excited to just be represented by a company, but represented by a company with products that I love!! 

You know I love many design aesthetics, but Mid Century Mod really gets my design heart swooning, so when I saw these items, I instantly wanted to hit "add to cart" oh, maybe just about a million times!

Here are a few items that might fancy your taste as well...

I personally think any kitty cat or pup would look rather stylish lounging in this awesome pet bed. You can tell that the designer must be inspired by the great Le Corbusier.

Love these modern food bowls as well:

Any cat owner is going to love this next item. Cat litter boxes are usually such an eye sore, but not anymore. This is one of a handful of well designed cat litter boxes that will not stick out from the rest of your modern decor. I have one on my wish list now!
