About a year ago, I was commissioned to paint a portrait of a little pug named Catfish, here is Catfish's little sister, Ladybug. Ladybug was brought into the family because it was decided that Catfish needed a playmate. (Actually, my client says they were tired of Catfish biting them when he was a puppy and decided with another pug, they could just bite each other.) It has been reported that sweet Ladybug never bit Catfish, nor has she ever growled, scratched or bit anyone. She is very gentle and their children love her, especially her little tongue. Ladybug's tongue is about twice the length of her little pug snout, so it constantly hangs out of her mouth. Most days Ladybug can be found sneaking naps while she lounges on the furniture - a place she knows is off limits to her.
Take care all and thank you for visiting and commenting, it is most appreciated. I think Ladybug has the right idea, a nap on the couch sounds like a very good idea on this cold, crisp Sunday afternoon.

Ladybug and Catfish...cute names, darling painting!
Angela, you paint such character into your animal paintings. Ladybug looks just as friendly as she must be. Nice!
That little Lady Bug looks like she could just walk off the canvas into our home!

Sweet dog Angela, lovely pose.
What a beautiful painting, Angela! Of course, I love hearing about Ladybug's wonderful personality and think she looks adorable with her tongue lolling. And she brings to mind her kindred spirits over at Flower Mound Studio (Nancy Medina).
Very Cute:)
I love the puppy!! Makes me want to paint a pug. :)
BEAUTIFUL portrait, Angela! I love your fluid brushwork, colors and composition.
Love this adorable little Ladybug! You've really captured her sweet personality and wonderful job on the expressive eyes! I admire how you can get so much emotion and still keep it wonderfully loose.
Too cute!!! You were able to capture her sweet personality and her feminine stance.
She is such a doll Angela! xoxox

The swirls and whirls and fun expression on this little doggie make me smile. Great painting!
