whimsical pets – whimsyville: the art studio of ann krier

pigs — These LIttle Piggies –
can you spot the ‘thumb’ and the ‘pinky’ ?

So ……. here is the latest watercolor and ink work – not overly complicated but lots of fun and very colorful. Inspired by the incipit cold / hot / cold / freezing weather – there is actually a pretty big collection of these now. You would have thought that “birds” would have been the first, given my commitment to myself to finish a collection, but you can guess that the need for color invaded the plans.

They are going to Whimsical Women in Chapel Hill in May – so either I see you there and you can pick one up or for those of you who live far, far away – the US Mail can bring one to you.

Lots of love – and happy weekend – Ann

I awoke this morning to find that Paint Party Friday features last week’s Men of Snow.Thank you all so much for the lovely compliments and for the honor! I have to say that since joining PPF, I have regularly blogged almost every week (which I think is really important to sharing your work with the world).

Today’s post was going to be entitled Going to the Dawgs – but that seemed a little inappropriate given the surprise. Very soon, some very lucky people are going to receive some very special portraits for Christmas. Here is a sneak peak of these fun watercolors – but shhhhhh – don’t tell. The last one is my dog – Murphy Rex Krier. Right this second he is a sad little man – he has some allergies that are just unkind to his beautiful fur. He is still our baby though….
