Paintings I Keep
Not every painting is meant to find a new home.
Some are created from memories, loved ones and moments that hold a special place in my heart. These are the paintings I choose to keep — pieces that carry a story beyond the canvas and remind me of the people, animals and experiences that have shaped my life.
Each one is painted with love, and each has a story of its own. ❤️🎨

Original artwork
Penny was painted from a photograph of her as a puppy, capturing the face of a little dog who would go on to become a much-loved member of our family.
She lived a long and happy 14 years before we had to say goodbye. Penny had a heart of gold, and that became the inspiration behind the golden touches and delicate hearts woven throughout the painting.
The white aura surrounding her represents the afterlife — a peaceful place where I imagine her still watching over us. Although she is no longer here physically, the love she gave and the memories she left behind remain.
For me, this painting is not about goodbye. It is about love continuing beyond a lifetime.
Penny may have crossed the rainbow bridge, but she will always be loved. 🐾❤️
