From Camels to Toads!!!!

I love painting portraits, both animals and people.  Fred the Camel I've even done twice! Once in colored pencil and once in oil.  I started with my own CillaB, my English kitty, and I was hooked on painting animals!  I love giving them some personality, and they're always very colorful!  Enjoy the collection I've posted here.  I will do pets on commission from good photos.  I will soon be posting the prices.
