Lilly the Aussie

I like to draw and paint animals. I have three cats and a dog of my own. The trouble is they move around too much, so I rely on photos. However, my Australian Shepherd is somewhat camera shy and it's hard to get her to look at me when I'm taking the picture. I follow various Instagram accounts with dogs as the primary characters. I saw this of Lilly the Aussie (lillytheaussie) and asked her person for permission to draw a picture and she said yes. Here's the result. Such a happy looking dog. Contact me if you'd like an ink and watercolor drawing of your animal friend. 

The Puppy at 4 1/2 Months!

I challenged myself to draw a picture of my rapidly growing puppy. This is just pen and ink. It took me about three or four hours to do. I love the quizzical expression Aussies have when they tilt their heads like this.
