Title or Location: Mama?s Robin
I decided to try my hand at acrylic painting a little over two years ago as a hobby when I retired, and I haven?t been able to stop! This painting was a gift for my mother?s 90th birthday. I named it ?Mama?s Robin? in appreciation for the name she gave me at birth.

Title or Location: Marvin
Meet Marvin! He?s my neighbor pup. His mom shared a photo with me that I used as a basis to practice painting. I?m not very good at drawing, so I used the photo to map out with a ruler and pencil on the canvas panel where specific features exist and then I connect the dots to ?draw? him, then I finish by painting. I?m finding that this method helps me to keep the dimensions correct across the entire panel.
