A Dog, Three Invitations, and a Proposal

Over the past few weeks I've finished up several custom projects. 

For starters, this is Keylo, a white German shepherd.

Keylo's not with us anymore, but I was honored to preserve his memory with a portrait.  Such a pretty dog! 
This invitation I did for my cousin's little girl's birthday party.

And this one I did for that same cousin only this invitation she didn't know about it.  Sneaky, sneaky!

This one is for my very best friend.  She's expecting a baby girl in December!

This next watercolor is of a poplar restaurant/bar in Starkville, MS.  Last June a couple got engaged there, and a very thoughtful friend of the bride-to-be commissioned this painting for them.  I was able to paint in several unique details that are special to the couple.

Just for funsies, here's a "behind the scenes" pic.  This is typically what my desk looks like when I'm working on a painting.

One last watercolor.  This one is a new bookmark design for all my fellow Memphians!

If you live in the Memphis area, I hope you'll come out to the Cooper Young Festival this Saturday!  I'll be in space A-142, across the street from the Celtic Crossing.

Hey, sweetie , I was just on your website and made a few purchases at your online store. I saw your "alphabet series" but did not find them listed anywhere in the online store. I would LOVE to purchase two prints each of your alphabet series, one to go into Grady and Gus's room at their house and one for their room at our house. Also, if you have a print (or even better an original watercolor) of a Magnolia blossom, I would love to purchase one, if possible. If none are avaliable, would it be possible to commission one done? Hope you and the soon-to-be new guy are doing GREAT!!! You know, of course, you are my absolute favorite student/athlete of all time at WMHS,,, and also my very favorite artist!!! CHRISTMAS CHEER! :D
