Octopus and Birds

This is a commission I did a week ago. A birthday present for a sister of a friend. I hope she likes it! I had a lot of fun painting it. Happy birthday Amy B!

There is a Whale in the Garden

I just finished a new painting. It will be on display at The Rehoboth Art League through August.
I love the idea of things being askew and a whale in the garden is just that. He's not sure how he got there....but he likes it and so do all the garden creatures. Thank you so much for looking at my work.
xo, Patti
