Dog Portrait in Colored Pencil by Conni Schaftenaar
Many years ago I was at work in my office in Coopersville Michigan. The door opened and a woman came in with two puppies in a basket. She lived one highway exit west of Coopersville and said people were constantly dumping puppies and kittens off at the highway exit. If the locals found them, they adopted them or tried to find homes for them, which is what she was doing. The one little pup looked exactly like a little stuffed teddy bear, and I fell in love with her at first sight. She was fuzzy and sweet and thin under her fuzzy coat. I called my husband on the theory that I should at least "ask". This was before cell phones and he was not in the house, so I told the woman I would take the pup. Since I had left a message on the home phone, my husband was not surprised to see me come home with a pup - he was mildly annoyed that I hadn't waited to commit to it, but he took one look at her and the big, tough farmer said, "awww!"
Thank you for visiting my FAA/Pixels gallery! Please note that the FAA watermark you'll see on images does NOT print on anything. My name is Conni Schaftenaar. I have had a life-long love of colorful art but always imagined that I wasn't talented enough to be someone who actually produced art that others liked. I began to learn some techniques from a watercolor instructor back in 2013, and I've been continuing the learning process ever since. I have had much joy in the comments and communications on FAA with other artists about my art, finding out that OTHER PEOPLE actually like my art! It's been a huge confidence booster to me to get that positive feedback, and I really appreciate it. I primarily paint in watercolor on various...

Thanks, dear friend Laurel, your comment has ME tearing up again, too - this was an emotional journey, as you are aware!

Conni, I returned this morning to your gallery and was treated to a side by side view of this nascent glaze of Teddi bear...and her companion transcended portrait. This is such a WONDERful love note to a fur baby friend. Then I glance at the emanating Light from the slashes of deepest green and blue and my gaze remains transfixed...her soulful beauty radiates! What a glorious memento to her. ..tissues...more tissues...
