Hi, All: Okidoke - then here's my latest one, Item number: 320122396212 And this is Ramona's Davey. I love to paint little dolls, too, so there'll be more of them for the cats to play with!!! As for personal info - I majored in art in college, then went on to become a court reporter for 23 years. I always missed my art and took night classes along the way. Then when my only son was born when I was forty, I retired from court reporting when he was 5 and went back to my art. I got some children's books published that I wrote and/or illustrated and haven't looked back since. I've done several hundred pet portraits, but I needed something to do inbetween portraits. So now I'm enjoying these little minis. And by the looks of things - with all of your **super great** reference photos, I'm able to keep a steady supply coming. And I'm getting to meet all kinds of people from all over the country who are also fellow animal lovers!!! So that's me in a nutshell. -- Piggy's Pad

My son is now 15 and my hubby and I are enjoying ourselves very much!!! He is a business consultant and works out of the home like I do. So when our son comes home from high school, we're usually both here, so it's a dream come true for me to be at home, do my art, and surround myself with all kinds of happy pet portrait clients!!!

Awwww. Davey is so cute. Again, I love what you've done with paint. What a beautiful expression on his face. Now.....let's see. Okay, I guess you and I are the same age but I see that you live in Oregon, whereas I'm in Kansas. I do wish, though, that I had some of your art expertise and knowledge. I'm a rug hooker and usually have a hard time trying to color plan a rug. Oh, sure, once I can see it all together, I know which colors look good but it's just the planning stage that gets to me. I also envy you the court reporting job. Many years ago, I thought about doing that but kind of got sidetracked into other things. You do sound very happy, Connie, with your life, your painting, your husband and your son. I think you're one very lucky lady. (NT) -- Sandy, 8:56:09 am, Mon, 06/04/07
