Time-lapse Havanese Puppy! 5”x7” acrylic on canvas. 🐾♥️ Music: “Familie” by @zarnimusic, who is this dog Teddy’s talented mamma!!! She is turning 30yrs this May 2, so I thought I would surprise my dear friend with a little painting of her beloved fur-baby! Zarni, I’m so lucky to have you in my life! May this year be filled with meaning and laughter! ♥️ 🎶 🔜 Side note: Zarni is putting out an album soon so you should go follow her account! . . #havanese #havanesepuppy #havaneselove #timelapsepainting #timelapseart #timelapse #petportrait #acrylicpainting #acryliconcanvas #dogart #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dog #furbaby #friends #30 #surprise #zarnidevette #ericaleigh

This was my job today: A pair of two 6”x6” pet portraits with a yummy, grape background! These sibling pooches, named K-Lee and Tyke, definitely steal the prize for “commission with the most character!” I’ve never met them but I almost feel like I have, after hours of intense focus on their mugs. Thank you Alyson for trusting me to paint your babies & supporting me! I’m so passionate about what I do, but I couldn’t do it without folks like you! DM me if you are interested in a portrait :) 🎨♥️ #timelapse #timelapseart #process #dogs #petportrait #dogsofinstagram #dogpainting #speedpaint #ericaleigh #allinadayswork

Time lapse of “Bear” - custom acrylic pet portrait on an 8”x10” canvas. Yes, I am alternating my really intense posts about gun-violence-concept-art with adorable pet portraits, because activism is tiring, and a good friend told me recently that you have to make time for self care... Who agrees with me that puppies count as self care?!?!? LOL! But seriously. I’ve also been dog sitting for my fur baby niece, Ruby, and that has been an important part of that balance. After dropping everything for the cause this week and spending zero time on my painting I am looking forward to getting back to the easel next week! #timelapse #timelapseart #germanshepherd #shepherd #acryliconcanvas #petportrait #dogtherapy #selfcare #dogsofinstagram #ericaleigh
