Works in Progress and Info on Next Poll

I am working hard to get my contest winners done so we can have another poll! Of course, these are a few participants in past polls that I just couldn't resist painting. How could I? They are gorgeous!


This is a commission I'm working on.


Another poll participant I couldn't resist - I just loved the light in this, and the cat's content expression. Such a perfect Zen moment!

I think next week I'll be ready for another poll, so be uploading your pictures here or here! I think I'll just be picking pictures that I want to paint, so upload your best shots!
