Yuri the meerkat - WIP

If you think that bears walk in the streets of Moscow, you are very much in the wrong, at least not for the last couple of years - they don't. And I won't surprise you if I said that it's actually meerkats that are overpopulating Russia these days. Originally from South Africa, this small animal migrated to Russia and adopted well to the way of life and cold winters and what's more - scared away a...ll the bears... And they speak English quite well, as you would have expected of them. Russian meerkats fascination being a new fad I had to jump on the bandwagon and here I present you Yuri the meerkat. In the beginning he was meant to be a tractor driver for some remote Kolkhoz, but he looks too dressed up and a bit tipsy, so I'd say he is a party animal, probably plays accordion....

My recent commission - "Almost a lion" is a portrait of Majella's cat (from Truly gifted).

Since it was a commission I kept taking pictures of the process in case Majella would see something that she wanted changed. So here is WIP of her cat:

My collection of painted pigs is expanding! The newest addition - Triona the pig watering her flowers, I think she has a charming smile:) The original is in my Etsy shop, and I'm planning to order some postcards with her too. She's also on zazzle (what a busy little pig:))

Yorkie and hearts - ACEO

These are the pictures of the process of painting my recent commission "Yorkie and hearts". I always have an intention to "document" the process, but I get so absorbed in painting that I hardly ever think of my camera while at it. Since this was a commission I decided to take it easy and slowly and keep my customer updated on every stage of the painting in case she would see some small details that I wasn't able to pick up from the photograph.

Yorkie and hearts will soon be available on Etsy as postcards and a 5x7 print.

It's available on Zazzle on various goods - check it out here.

Geek girl and her pet mouse

Very much myself, apart from the fact that I don't wear glasses

(although I probably should), I don't use a mouse

with my laptop and I don't have ginger hair or a fringe,

nevertheless essentially - it's me:)
