Whimsical paintings are painted on canvas using acrylic & ink,

with a splash of sequins (just because).

I paint them with whatever portrays their personality such as pajamas, a tiara,

a Hawaiian shirt, etc., or without. They have curlicue noses and eyebrows,

and never look straight ahead; either up, down, or sideways-

which adds to their personality.

I can also paint realistic eyes if you prefer those over whimsical.

I write a title up the side of the canvas and over the top,

which is a special secret for you & your furry kid.

​

If a more realistic painting of your furry kid is your preference, I can do that also.

They are painted on watercolor paper using my JuLeS mixture of watercolor,

colored pencil, charcoal, and gouache. I may use one of the mediums, or all.
