So much fun with all the coastal themed paintings of late! Those doing the bidding seem to like them too.  If you can't be on the beach, it's nice to be reminded of it! Happy Thursday. It's almost the weekend!

Another busy week has come to an end already.  I have been having so much fun working

on some new small works in oil and yesterday, I broke out my pastels after about a ten year

hiatus! It felt like I never stopped.  I know there is much to catch up on in the pastel world...

new papers and supports and I am sure new pastel manufacturers. Tomorrow, I will share

my efforts and supplies.  Another effort this week was painting acrylic pet portraits on clear Christmas ornaments.  If you'd like more information on how to commission your pet on an

ornament, send me an email at normasfineart@gmail.com. Here is an example.

   Weimaraner Dogs are also known as Silver or Gray Ghost. They originated in Germany in the 1800's and were bred from pointing breeds, bloodhounds, and mastiffs. They were bred to be hunters and have a distinctive grey color. Dwight D. Eisenhower owned a Weimaraner.  They look so soft and regal too. I also read that they are very smart and need lots of exercise. 

    I have come to the end of my challenge and it has been a grand adventure meeting new furry friends on my easel, sharing on Facebook, and finding new collectors. Thank you to everyone who

participated. Time to schedule my massage and pop open some champagne! Hope you have something fun planned for the weekend!

       I just fell in love with this snaggle toothed cutie. Wonder if she has spied a bird outside the window? Or perhaps she is just wondering when it will be time for dinner. On the eve of finishing my challenge, I am wondering if I will be sad. Kind of like when Christmas comes and goes and while, and you might be tired from all the preparations, but you kind of miss the anticipation. For thirty one days, I have known my mission and get such a kick out of ending up with a new pair of eyes looking back at me in the evening. And the comments and support on Facebook have been great too! So, after I have a couple of days to nap and catch up on the rest of my life, I hope you will send me more pets to paint...because I really LOVE doing it!

This painting was commissioned by Boo Boo's family who live in Florida. They lost her recently and are heart broken. She certainly was a beautiful dog and her face reflects her love and devotion. We are so blessed to be loved by our dogs so unconditionally! I so enjoyed working on this piece.

 This little fella is quite dramatic striking a post in the sunlight. He looks quite handsome and I bet he is equally charming! Hope you are having a fantastic weekend! I just picked up some takeout Italian and guess what I am going to do? Well, I thought I would paint! Only six more days for the challenge so if you haven't sent me a photo of your special friend, now is the time to do it. I have two ready to go already but four more spots. :-)
