More Animal Party Favors

I'm trying to create a series of party favors for my daughter's upcoming baby shower.   I guess the surprise to me was how much time these little paintings take to create-- despite the fact that they are really tiny!

 Between searching for images I like, sketching out the little animal on the board and painting them, I am NOT keeping up with my schedule.

I had planned to paint a couple yesterday, but ended up trying to get my finance in order.  (What was I thinking??)  Today is another day... perhaps I'll create some more.

No worries.  I'm finding it rather fun and am sure I'll reach the goal of 25 paintings before the date of the shower.....  At least I hope so!!!

My beautiful daughter is wonderfully pregnant and glowing.   She doesn't like how she looks right now, but I think she's gorgeous.  I'd love to get some photos of her that I might be able to paint... somehow pregnant women seem so lovely.   Don't you think so??

I think that these are so much fun! And, so generous and giving of you. You could create a humorous video using these and real pics of animals in silly, real life poses!

Thanks, Pam!! It has been fun doing these!
Hopefully the shower goers will like them!

I too love these ACEOs as the ideal little shower favors. What a gift! And yes, pregnant mommies to be are indeed gorgeous!
