Have you ever had a bad day when everything seemed overwhelming? 

I was in such a mood last summer. 

I had a lot on my mind. I felt stressed out and frustrated because some of my paintings were not coming out the way I expected.

What do you do when you feel down? 

I find it helpful to go for a walk. I wandered into my neighborhood community garden: 

I saw plants everywhere, lush and full of life:

I imagined how each plant strived to grow and reach for the light, every day, at its own pace, with strength and perseverance.  

Plants surprise us by growing in less-than-ideal conditions.

I felt comforted and less alone, knowing that the plants share my struggle to grow. 

Suddenly, a cat appeared!

I was so excited because I LOVE CATS!

The cat stopped and looked at me for 30 seconds.

It was a sign from Mother Nature, to cheer me up!  

It was a magical, life-transforming moment of serenity and comfort. I went home feeling renewed hope and motivation to keep painting.

Dog Portrait Oil Paintings: Matching Pair Displayed Side-by-Side

I painted these for a wonderful woman who has two active and lively dogs. They especially enthusiastic about getting treats. 

I used squiggly brushstrokes and splashes of paint to show how energetic they are. 

Here is Emma, the older dog. She is a hilarious leader in trouble-making.

Here is Enid, the younger dog, very affectionate and adorable:

Do you prefer the gold or wood frames? I like both!
