I’m an old person who lives in New England.
I have gone back to my love of painting animals and pet portraits. Website: sandraolsonart.com.

Fierce supporter of democracy, equality, truth and reality.

I love all Boston sports teams.

No DMs.
I mentioned in a prior post that we always had a big Christmas tree until we got Yoshi.

Our dog before we got Yoshi, we had a Bernese Mountain dog named Bella.

One of her favorite places to sleep was under the tree. She was a very big female but she managed to get under the tree.

Good morning everyone.

One of my holiday commissions has been gifted so I am able to post it.

A beautiful German Shepherd named Suzy-Q in the misty hills of New Hampshire.

9x12 inches, done in acrylics.

Thanks for looking!

What an amazing analogy of life under Trump!

We gave up having a big Christmas tree when we adopted Yoshi. As you can see, she believes all trees will eventually become branches that are her property.

We do have a table top tree that has my annual splurge of Swarovski ornaments. Not colorful but we kinda like it.

Happy holiday season!

The only one who will stop the lawless Republican party is you and your relentless, consistent vote against them...

Obviously... no one else is stepping up

I pledge to never EVER miss another election (Local or National) no matter what the news cycle is repeating.. I WILL VOTE THEM OUT!!!

Final pet painting mailed out for the holidays. Once again, it’s a Christmas gift so won’t be posting a photo until January.

In the meantime, here are two of my all time favorite paintings of the wild horses of Salt River in Arizona. (still available)

Haven’t posted for ages. Had some health issues to deal with but the worst is behind me.

I’m working on a few commissions but they are holiday gifts so under wraps until January.

In the meantime here’s a painting I did of our dog Bella who we sadly lost about 4 years ago.

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)

It’s International dog day and tongue out Tuesday. It’s a two for one with Yoshi.

Good morning,

The last of my Wild Horses of America series are currently marked 50% off. Gotta make some wall space!

Check out my website and let me know if something is of interest.

I can get a shipping estimate prior to purchase using your zip code.

Thanks!

Just a quick note to let you know that my commissions are now open!!

It’s not too early to think about a gift of a pet portrait for yourself or someone else for the holidays!

I’ve included a few portraits I’ve done below.

Details are on my website: sandraolsonart.com

Thanks!

It’s been about a billion degrees and so humid that I swear I live in
The tropics not New England.

Thought I would post one of the few snow paintings I painted so I could cool my brain off a little.

Love our backyard critters

I received this from Social Security this morning. Very surprised, is it real, is any of it true??
I say sarcastically to the creators of this disastrous bill…does this mean I might hold off eviction while i figure out about losing my Medicare?

I had a moment last night where I was overwhelmed with the thought that the bad guys are winning. Tough one for someone like me who grew up truly believing that good triumphs over evil.

I thought I would take a minute for cute. We have lots of rabbits in the back, here’s two I painted.

A number of years ago I was able to get permission from an incredible photographer in the Czech Republic to paint some of their white deers.
They seemed so magical to me.

I think it’s time to paint some more of them.

Thanks!

Meant to post this yesterday but got sidetracked.

Yesterday was three years since Yoshi’s “gotcha day”.

Here are a couple photos of her pouring on the charm with my husband at the shelter.
