it's all about trying new things...

Since the summer has hit (it's already summer if you live in Arizona) I have felt a sense of new beginnings. I'd like to step outside the box and have some adventures. An adventure can be large or small...it can mean taking a risk, doing something you swore you would never do before, engaging in a new hobby, or taking a trip to a place you've never laid eyes on. I went to San Francisco for the first time in mid May and I fell in love with the city and the nearby ocean. I also got to see the Muirwoods and touch a redwood tree which has been a lifelong dream for me.


My latest piece of art is an animal portrait. This is the first time I have painted a picture of someone's pet and it was really fun to do. The painting is 11 x 14.


If anyone would like a pet portrait please email me at hrbrabant@yahoo.com and send me a hard copy photo of your animal. I can give a quote based on the size of the painting.
