Pug LOVE

I don't usually share my commission paintings, but I really wanted to show you guys the ones I finished just last week.

I had been doing vintage style family portraits for my good friends Ginger and Luke - and finished up the series by painting their babies Kody and Farley Bob....or Uncle Money Bags and Winston Churchpug:

Of course this way I get to give a shout out to Mr. Brandon Vasquez - amazing local photographer who did this fantastic photoshoot of their family last fall:

 
I became very attached to these photos while I was drawing the pugs! The rainbows are simply perfect...and painted in the playground of an elementary school just down the block from Luke and Gingers house!

Check out more of Brandon's work on here!


Have a bright and happy day! ♥

Dessert

I am more of a dessert lover than I should be. It was very hard for me to narrow down which type I was going to draw for the Illustration Friday theme this week. Turns out it was simple....the "Rainbow Cake" always ends up standing out - it's aloofness - it's elegance! I WILL make this cake, one (most perfect) day. But for now.....

Also, here is a cute little repeating fork pattern that you can play with (for personal use)...just click it to enlarge.

Happy drawing everybody. I can't wait to ooogle some dessert illustrations this week!
