Illustration Friday: Garden

Here are my "Garden Pugs". I created this to serve as a surface/textile design.

I love doing pet art and right now's a good time for consumer pet lovers. There is pet- everything available these days, isn't there!!

The model for the pug in the middle was my girl Daisy. My girl Ruby was the model for the lower left pug (the one with her tongue out).

Hope you enjoy.

These are very cute. Love the juxtaposition of the dog's faces with the sweetness of the flowers. Good work!

This is beautiful. Seems just perfect for some high-end doggie gear!

Good Morning Kathy!
I LOVE your pug garden! Daisy and Ruby are wonderful inspirations! I wish we could have our own pug garden. If Emmitt's hair were seeds, I would have pugs popping up everywhere. That would be so cool! Your illustration brings it to life for me!

Just darling! Do the pups cop an attitude now that they are famous?

Thanks for the treat!

So cute! I guess I missed a lot last week, having the flu, because it looks like I missed this and several other new posts. But i recall seeing this pattern in the past and thinking it is so cute and unique, and you certainly are great at pug renderings! :)
