Working on several commissions that will be given as Christmas gifts this year...exciting, but stressful at the same time! This is a vintage style portrait I just finished for a customer who will be giving this to her Mother for Christmas. I am fully booked for Christmas, but if are interested in having a pet portrait done feel free to contact me & check out more of my work on my website at Studio Lara!
Just finished this piece which will be a Christmas gift for my client's husband. I so love doing the vintage style pet portraits! They have such a sense of nostalgia with them. If you are interested in a portrait of your precious pup feel free to contact me and/or visit my website at Studio Lara.com!

Do not adjust your screen, after much himing and hawing I just felt that the piece above was just not working...I loved the idea but on a 5"x7" canvas it was too much to take on, it just didn't feel right when I finished it...so I have decided to revamp this piece. I've painted over the little girl shoes and will be adding some small, yet well placed trinkets in the empty space and will relist this piece on my new blog, A Vintage Touch, and Etsy. So stay tuned!
Well I finally closed my doors on ebay the other day and will now be selling my work primarily on Etsy. There just have been too many changes in the past couple years on ebay and after 3 years or so I have decided to bid ebay adieu and join my fellow artists on etsy. I will also be getting back to doing some still life pieces and Master portrait studies along with my Painting a Pup a Day project...I have to take a break from painting pups from time to time or I go a little batty...So, I hope you will enjoy following my new journey selling on etsy...it certainly was a pleasant surprise to see a couple sales already! A great welcome to a wonderfully creative and inspiring site! My new blog is called A Vintage Touch which you can find here: http://avintagetouch.blogspot.com/
