Laughing Lady Art

Laughing Lady Art A page for the sharing of my traditional media art and commission infor. Pet & wildlife portraiture.

I am a hobby/amateur artist, predominantly self taught but with some formal education and training in drawing and illustration. I work primarily in wildlife and pet portraiture (realism/hyper-realism), though I also dabble a little in landscape scenery and realistic fantasy. I am foremost a traditional medium artist, with graphite and pastel pencil being my heavy preference; however I am slowly dipping my toes into the digital art waters.

Being 6.5 months pregnant - plus - the difference in pace between working on a deadline for a commission and working on a project for myself has made this personal project drag on forever.

Part of me still has a deep-seated fear that I will lose my talent, given that I no longer draw every single day of the week as I once did not all that long ago. But I continue to try to reassure myself that nearly 4 years of hard work won't vanish that quickly, especially when one considers that I do still draw regularly, every week. I continue to reassure myself that art will continue to be something that brings me joy, and something I know I am good at, even as I enter this new and daunting (but also wonderful) chapter of my life. ❤️

Throwback to one of my favorite pieces. I've not had the chance to draw another dog with this unique combination of features. It was such a pleasure to do. I love snowdog coats in general, but this beautiful girl and her mix of Siberian Husky + American Staffordshire Bull Terrier (Aka Staffie. AKA pitbull) was a special sort of mix. 🩵💙🩶🤍

I still have one commission slot available if you'd like a portrait of your pup (or any other animal!).

I will take on *one* commission slot for the pre-holiday season (to be shipped by no later than the first week of November, based on my baby being due later that month). The slot will remain open until October 15th (to allow for plenty of completion time), or until claimed.

I will draw any and all creatures, real or imagined, feathered, furred, scaled, or finned; any pet, real or imaginary; any original character of non-human origin (anthro okay). I am also willing to consider still life scenery, as well as human portraits, depending on the reference photo. Please review my photo gallery for 3 years worth of artwork examples.

As a note, I have not had enough commission traffic as of late to warrant adding more slots at this time, so if interested, now is your chance. Once my baby girl is born, commissions will remain closed for an indefinite amount of time ♥.

Please send me a DM with your interest OR, you can email me at: [email protected] :)

A few photos from my baby shower on Saturday. Thank you again to those who made the day extra special. We know a lot of you couldn't make it despite wanting to be there, and many of those who weren't able to attend put in extra effort to send us gifts even though they themselves could not be present. We missed you all so much, but are incredibly thankful.

We are also so incredibly grateful to the handful of people who were able to join us, who made me (especially) feel surrounded and supported. Eva is already loved more than she knows, even 3 months prior to her due date.

*Non-artsy post (for celebrating the arrival of baby artist)*

Just a quick reminder to all family and friends who follow: Our baby shower is just over two weeks away (Saturday, 08/22). Please let us know if you need any help getting to the event venue once you are in the area. Both Chris and I drive larger vehicles (Jeep Wranglers) and have plenty of room to carpool if you will be flying to NH from out of state. ♥
