New Painting from this Weekend

I've just finished up a rainforest art project with my 4th grade students and I was inspired to create this scarlet macaw painting.

Blue Zoe Series!

We adopted Zoe from the Boulder Humane Society over four years ago. She is my running companion and also one of my favorite painting subjects. She loves having her portrait painted. Well alright, so she's not really aware that she's had her portrait painted nor does she realize that I have turned her into a blue dog, but I don't think she'd mind.
