    Black lab dog portrait custom oil painting leanne wildermuth

    I’ve finished the background on Caesar’s portrait. The sides of the piece are a bit darker and makes a nice border frame on the wrapped canvas. I’ll work in the underpainting when this is dry (hopefully tomorrow afternoon).

    dog portrait sketch black lab painting original custom art leanne wildermuth
    I’ve started a new portrait today, this is Caesar. He’s a black lab, and I’ll be painting his background (blue), which is really going to set off his portrait nicely. I’ll post another update on this painting after I work in the background.

    I admit, I love to play dress up with my girls.

    I also love playing portrait photographer when we’re done playing dress up.

    Which portrait is your favorite, and how did you react when you saw her?

    Wonderful:
    Having the opportunity to apologize to someone from your past.

    Suckish:
    Not hearing anything back from said someone after said apology.

    Priceless:
    Photographing a hummingbird with the same sentiments in mind.

    macro photo skin hands cracked fungus disease
    Okay so I lied. This hand is related. To me, that is.
    It’s the hand of someone I love, and it is hurting her.
    Anyone know what this is? A fungus? Eczema?

    Grooooovy.

    Copper, the Little Prince.
    Time for tea. He does lift his pinki when he drinks, too.

    Our giant sunflowers are blooming.
    That bumblebee is the size of a quarter. Okay maybe a nickel.
    (Can’t a girl embellish for effect?)

    I managed to talk Lisa into moving to WordPress, which she did ever so gracefully (heh! seriously, she jumped right into it!) and now she’s sporting a new custom design that I created for her that will really highlight her (amazing) photography so much better. I had such fun creating this design – go have a look around!

    I just can’t get enough of these adorable little birds. The hummingbirds are quite active right now, they’re on the feeders and flowers constantly. I was playing with my camera (Sports scene auto mode, Panasonic Lumix FZ50) and got some incredible shots today of this little female Ruby Throated Hummingbird and had to share.
