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.

Love it. When my neighbors moved they asked if we would take over feeding the squirrels and chipmunks. This lovely lady lets me know if I’m late putting out almonds for them.

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

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.

I ran across a post by an artist who said one of the most important things is to keep posting your work. Doesn’t have to be new work.
With that in mind (since I haven’t picked up a brush in months) here is a photo of a tiger painting I did several years ago as a gift for my sister in law.

This is one of my favorite paintings. At 11x14 it’s not huge but still a favorite.
I really enjoy painting sheep. So much color in their thick coats.

Hi all, I’ve let myself get far too anxious to paint (something to do with an orange felon and his posse breaking everything in sight) so I am posting a painting I did awhile ago of a mare and foal from Arizona.

Several years ago I took a break from pet portraits to paint the wild horses of Camargue in southern France.
I may try to fit in another painting of them this year, they were fun to paint.

Thank you! I’ve only painted two marine paintings, both as gifts for my brother. A guy at an art store once told me most people can’t paint ships and shouldn’t even try because they end up looking amateur. Kinda discouraged me from going in that direction.

This is one of my favorite paintings from a series I did of America’s wild horses.
This is one of Arizona’s horses running wild and free.
Based on a photograph by an amazing Arizona photographer, Gary Odell.
This is one of the few still available from the series.

The look we get when she’s completely out of the anesthesia and remembers she had to be left at the vets for the day yesterday because she absolutely refuses to cooperate with the vet for an exam and bloodwork.
To be clear, never bitey, never mad but an impossible 100 lb. tank of a wiggleworm.
