Here is my Sunday Sketch of a little gal enjoying some soft serve ice cream on a hot summer day :) I am going to do a painting of this one on a little 5"x5" canvas. Make sure to check out all of the other wonderful sketches over at Blue Chair Diary! I also wanted to share with you a couple of commissions I got done this week. Below is "Goosehound," the adorable Basset Hound of a friend of a friend :) I had never painted a dog before so I have to admit that I was a little nervous, but I am happy with how it came out!
This next one is "A Wise Friend," a commission I did for a trade with the always super-nice Susy at The Enchanted Pumpkin. I am getting lots of fun goodies from Susy, I can't wait!! :) You should check out her shop, she has lots of adorable things! This is the first time I have done pink hair, and I loved it!! Susy came up with that idea, plus the owl and the mushroom :)I might have to do pink hair for at least a couple more paintings!
Both of these paintings are on their way to their new homes, thank you Natasha and Susy!! :) I hope you are all having a really fun Fourth of July! No barbecuing for us today, but we are going to go out and try to get our hands on some burgers (or veggie burger, in my case :) I'll see you soon!
Lovely sketch! Can't wait to see the finished piece. :)

She is adorable, and so fitting for a hot July Day, not to mention a Holiday where ice cream is one of the treats of choice as we celebrate our independence. The puppy is also very cute.
