Happy early Mother's Day to my mama!

I painted a picture for my mom for Mother's Day this year. I have been working on a series of sketches depicting my pets Tiffany, Tyler, and Sierra in vintage food-themed posters. It sounds a little weird but they've turned out really cute!

Anyway, I have finished the painting of Tyler selling Apple Head Brand Carrots. Tiffy and Tye were Siamese kitties of a certain type called "Apple Heads." This means that they did not have the long, pointy face typical of most Siamese -- instead they had beautiful, cute rounded heads! Also, Tyler had a strange quirk -- he loved to purr on and play with carrots. They were like catnip to him! So it seemed only appropriate that he should have carrots with him in the painting.

So, I took pictures of my work at various stages of completeness: from sketch to finished painting.

I miss my animals every day, but all I can do is remember them and make art that celebrates them and reminds and informs others as to how great they all were.
