"Louis"10"x 30"
Oil on Canvas
This is my little guy, Louis. Well, actually, he's not so little anymore, but... ;)
Today I'm looking forward to spending some time pulling together ideas for my website--the one I'm building for my pet portraits. Slowly, slowly I'm stitching together the life I want. Last night I started on my third canvas--sketching out an image of Chester, a lovable Cocker Spaniel. Tonight I'll block in the colors.
All of this is such a process, threaded in between the other demands of my life. I am so impatient for everything to start manifesting itself FULL SCALE! And at the same time I have absolute faith that it's going to happen. Ok...so today's lesson: patience. Someone please tell me, how does that work?

It is so alive and warm.
Jessie, you just keep painting and do what you are inspired to do. Great
painting, what a love he is :-)
Jessie, I love this painting so much! Just wait---everything for you is on your way. Patience is trusting that it will happen at the right time and not too fast. Believe it or not, I think I'm struggling with the "too fast" part and am having trouble integrating my success :) So you don't want it too fast...just right at the right time when you're ready!! xxoo, O
You have definitely found your niche! I LOVE it!!!
Please check my blog for my two little four-footed friends.

I want to comission one of our MickeyMooMoos. Georgie would treasure it forEVER. How much, How much??

Louis is absolutely gorgeous! I am so excited! I know I made the right choice in asking you to do my Trixie portrait. And knowing you are doing it, my sorrow at her loss is receding, strangely.
Patience? I think it's a one day at a time thing.
Pet Portraits - SO much fun! GREAT work, Jessie - I love your not-so-small pup and how you have captured his sweet personality so perfectly! Looking a little sleepy, but willing to be rambuncious at a moment's notice.
Amazing. And thanks, Jessie, for your e-mail. I'm really excited for a Monty painting. Even in your writing, you seem to really understand him---All the adjectives you used describe him well. Thank you!! I miss you :)
Yep, that's my beloved Louis. I'll bet I could show that to Madam and SHE would recognize him.
*sniff* we all need to get together.
You are amazing, dear. xoxo, M
Wow your Louis painting is wonderful, as is your other art. I used to paint in oils, and sometimes I miss it. Thinking about getting back to it. Good luck with your website animal art venture!
Oh, it's beautiful! Again I love the angle and the deep colours, you're so talented. :) Can't wait to see more. For me patience is figuring out what it is I'm supposed to be doing now. It's a bit like being bored, whenever I realise I'm bored I think there is something I should be doing or feeling and I'm not - what is it?
jessie ~ this is just so
gosh darn stunning ~ he looks like
he is going to yawn and slowly
get up and walk over to me for a pat ~ and the colors are so beautful
