Panda-monium

 “Panda-monium”
It’s been complete pandemonium this week at the studio working on paint projects while also being nurse to my husband who is having to endure yet another knee surgery. This is the third one, lucky him that he had more than two. While he’s resting between bouts of excruciating pain and enjoying the relief that only medication can give, I have a few moments to paint, write, and hang out with the creatures of Baker’s Pond (term of endearment we’ve named our home). We love animals and I love painting them. In local mural work most of the time I’m commissioned to paint our gorgeous birds or adorable dolphins. Occasionally I’m requested to paint something more exotic. That’s always exciting. One such request was for an author as we worked on the style of illustration for a book. So, while the U.S. and China work on trade negotiations, I’ve been working on one of China’s adorable creatures- the panda.
 Deceptively cuddly, just like our local black bears. Both “bear-y” cute. Har-har.

The Panda illustration was created in acrylics on canvas panel:

Another exotic creature- the polar bear. This illustration was created in color pencil:


Not actually a bear, however, the koala is just as cuddly looking. 


Exotic or local, painted or sketched, Swan Studios Inc can create whatever animal you wish:
