The Rainbow Bridge...

I've been blown away at the interest in my Rainbow Bridge painting, but I reckon it has hit a spot so many of us hold in our hearts for those precious pups that we have lost...I believe whole heartedly they will be in Heaven...I can't imagine God would create such loving creatures for it not to be so.~Lara 

 I'm so moved by what Bernie Berlin does for animals in need, I have decided to donate $10 for each 8"x10" & 11"x14" print sold of my Rainbow Bridge Painting from my etsy store to her rescue
'A Place to Bark'...she is truly an angel here on earth.

Meet Tiffany & Max :)

So Blessed...

So blessed to do what I do ♥...from a customer whose Grandmother is dying of cancer:
Hi Lara,
I can't thank you enough for the painting. It arrived at my mom's house today and my grandmother absolutely loved it. She kept saying how much she loved what you did with the eyes and how real it looked. My mom said my grandma fell asleep holding on to it.
Thank you again.

New Year . . .New Projects! :)

I thought after the Christmas rush that my January would be a bit quiet, but wow I couldn't be more wrong! I've been swimming in a sea of commissions some of which include custom wedding dress paintings, personalized Mom's nest paintings, a book cover, pet portraits, and a possible 8 book children's series! I feel beyond blessed to be so busy, true the stress can be a bit much at times, but I just need to remember to take a few moments here & there & just breathe! Continued blessings to you & yours in 2012!
