Dogs come in all shapes, sizes and colors, so they are perfect for putting together in a fun pattern. I used some artistic license with the colors, of course! Who wants to have just plain old white, brown and black dogs? Not me!

I hope everyone is staying cool and hydrated this summer!

Hi Everyone,
ReplyDeleteJennifer- your little spotted doggie looks so happy frolicking with his butterfly friend- very cute!
Cally- I used to have a poodle that would laze around on hot summer days too...if he'd only had a hammock! Love it!
Shirley- That little pup looks so adorable even if he is completely "pooped out" in the heat...love the facial expressions- it is amazing what eybrows can convey! Adorable!
Bee- Doesn't every girl(big or little) wish for a pony? And to share it with a cute little mouse and ice cream- ahh.. to be little again.. I really like your colour scheme too! Nice work! :)
Nina- Your doggie pattern is awesome...such a cute mix of breeds too! You should definitely add that to your licensing portfolio. Love it!
Julissa- the perfect end to a hot summer day! I like the birdy fanning the little girl...cute idea! Nice facial expressions too, the girl really looks content and as if she is contemplating the fun-filled day she just had- nice!
I haven't gotten my piece finished yet, and we are off to the cottage for a week, so hopefully I will be able to post mine when I return...I will for sure go thru internet withdrawal!
What beautiful illustrations! They are all fantastic, but of course, I'm partial to Shirley's cutie wanting to play fetch with Sophie who is copping some serious zzzz's! Adorable!
