"Baby Hippo #2"
6x6" oil on cradled panel
Things are a hoppin in this studio I'll tell you! WHEW...but good...I've been asked to deliver quite a few paintings to various venues and the shop "Luna's Mandala" up the hill...apparently they love all the color! YEA!
I think baby hippo #2 works best for the baby animal portraits I'm doing for my sweet girl's baby nursery...but she wants both...HA! So, off they go as soon as they are dry! I'm thanking my friend Carol Nelson for letting me paint with her last year when she was doing her fauvist style portraits...cuz I'm enjoying doing these little guys/girls with lots of fun color!!
Monday evening I am doing a demo for the Palateer's art guild, and hopefully teaching a two day workshop at the Aar River Gallery on February 1 and 2...so it's busy days...but happy days!
HAPPY CREATING!!

Love your hippos Saundra! Such fun - keep them that way. Did you know that hippos are responsible for the most wildlife deaths in Africa. Don't go near those huge jaws!
Great highlights on this little one's mouth. Look at that love shining from his eyes! Perfect for a grandchild, I am telling you!
Thank you girls...I saw a special on that very thing Liz...they may look cute in these paintings...but I know they are dangerous!
what a cutie!!! we have some little wooden hippos that my husband brought back from Africa when he did a semester there a million years ago, they always make me smile sitting on the sidetable, just hanging out
Hey, you are a quick study. The colors in your baby hippo are fabulous - what a great painting for the little one's room.
Thanks girls...Carol...you are a great teacher! :)
No idea how I stumbled in to your blog, but Oh. My. Goodness. You are busting out some amazing things! What talent. That baby hippo has such character! LOVE IT!
Can't wait to see more of your work. I'll be back :)
