Who among us can look at a fluffy, soft as a powder puff little kitten or a sweet sleeping puppy and not get all warm and fuzzy inside? Even the brawniest and manliest of men cannot at least crack a smile when the little puppy runs to meet him at the door.
This is the same little puppy that chewed the corner of the sofa. Yes, he is the one who piddled on the floor four times in one day. And I bet he didn’t make it to dog-hood without chewing up at least one of his owner’s favorite shoes.
This week I decided to sketch my rambunctious little Jack Russell in one of the moments that makes me believe it’s all worthwhile, for dog and husband!
What....the birds are laying already colored eggs? Happy Easter everyone!!!

i like the colored egg, in the nest to! i can get lost in the details of painting nests! so fun!
have a great day my friend!!!!
Crystal, these are both amazing pieces. I especially like the first and bet your hubby loves it too. You really do capture the moment in your work. If I had half of your talent I'd be over the moon.
I love the colored bird's eggs--Have a great weekend!
Crystal, these are both awesome! The first one is so adorable and you caught the emotion perfectly. Love the detail in the nest and the texture of it all. You are very talented.
Both works are great but I really enjoyed the colored eggs in the nest! Clever! Happy PPF!
Love that pic of the boy and his pup! I remember how my place looked after bringing up all 8 puppies of my Scruffy! Happy PPF! Valerie

Happy Good Friday and Happy PPF!!!!
thanks for sharing your wonderful work! The first one captures that bond between man and pet. And happy Easter!
You have wonderful texture in all of your work. Doesn't everyone have the same stories about puppies...to funny. Very cute idea with the birds nest of colored eggs. Just love your post today!
Crystal - both are great work! Who doesn't love a puppy? Just precious :-)
They're both so wonderful. I LOVE the hair and hoodie on the first one and the eggs are soo pretty and the nest is great!
Hi Crystal. Love your paintings, both are great pieces. Who couldn't love a puppie. I sure do. Thanks for sharing. Happy Easter and PPF!
Hi Crystal. Loving all your work, and especially the portrait of your husband and puppy. I'll bet your puppy is over the moon cute! Right? How can you be mad at him? I once had a beagle and when he was a pup he chewed a hole in my kitchen floor. Back then it was linoleum, but I couldn't believe he did that!
Have a Happy Easter and give your pup a kiss on the nose from me. :-)
both are charming and tender. I love that you put one different colored egg in the nest.
I love your style with colored pencil. What a moment you've captured with the puppy and hubs, so special. Is the Easter bunny in the trees now? love it, isn't it great to be an artist who can make anything happen on paper that you want? Happy PPF!
Wonderful attention to detail. The puppy and the hubby, so sweet! And you're right, who doesn't get all warm and fuzzy at the sight of a cute little fur ball?!
The puppy painting is so, so adorable! I miss when mine were little and cuddly like that. Really pretty eggs, too. That would save a step on Easter morning, LOL.
Beautiful. I love the detail on all the light and shading.
Have a wonderful Easter!

Your work with colored pencil is great, I haven't used them in a while I might pick them up again.

Love the man and adorable puppy!
And beautiful nest!!
Beautiful works Crystal!! Love the portrait, so Norman Rockwell!! And what festive birdies you have in your hood:)
Happy Easter, Crystal. Really wonderful work, as usual. I love the back story too. You are so right, we love them despite all the naughtiness. You magically captured such a loving and tender moment.
I love the colored bird eggs. We have some tiny house wrens nesting in an empty flower pot in my courtyard - not colorful eggs but fun to peek in and watch nature unfold. It is humbling to me - the beauty in watching them. I am in awe of the simple beauty of their nest. How do they get it so smooth inside?
I am a little late this week. Better a little late then never! Right!
Your pieces are wonderful!!! I love the little puppy! So cute. And your nest is so clever!!
LOVE both your PPF pieces! Like to visit your blog. Easter eggs are awesome. I'll be back soon! Thx for the inspiration.
