More lovely creatures. Though I've decided to paint more humans, I don't think I'll be able to abstain from animals completely. I think a mix is a good thing? #art#animalart#acrylicpainting#2Dart#fantasyart#fineart

About 500 years ago, when I was in art school, someone carved "Annette paints frogs" into one of the benches. Why yes. Yes, I do. #art #acrylicpainting #frogs #2Dart

More critters. The bear is still available if you're interested. The others have flown, hopped or skittered off to new adventures. I would like to do the same, but here I remain, a reluctant observer of the madness. #art #acrylicpainting #animalart

Here's a few paintings of mine featuring ladies. Even though I am one myself, I seldom paint them. There's a reason for that, but it's a secret. One of those is actually me-well, sort of. #art #figurativepainting #acrylicpainting

Friday birds.Much like with fish,I am both drawn to and repelled by birds.They are certainly some of the most intelligent creatures that share the planet with us,but those beaks! Those claws! Yikes.Still the color and the variety of shapes and sizes are wonderful.www.annettehasell.com #acrylicart#2d

Dogs are the best. I haven't had any for a while now.I told myself that unless I had a yard,I wouldn't.I miss their silly company.The one on the top right was my beautiful Barney.He was brilliant.If he were a human,he would have been an astrophysicist. #art#dogs#dogportraits#acrylicpainter

I'm a Kpop fan, and I do occasionally attempt a fan portrait or two. The bottom right one was the first pastel work I ever tried. It got good to me and I did a bunch of portraits after that. I need to get back to those at some point. Anyway. Look, it's people! #art #portraits #pastel #fanart

I think that I paint more birds than anything,but I definitely have my favorites-parrots, ravens, crows and dinosaur looking birds.These three all found homes-a very good thing for an almost starving artist like myself-so thanks to the wonderful, mesmerizing, and divine adopters! #art #birds#acrylic

I told myself to post every weekday this week so this is me doing that.You'd think I had ten cats as often as they appear in paintings.All of these have found homes,with the exception of the magical kitty on the bottom left.Let me know if you want to take over his care and feeding. #art #cats
