All my sketches are up on my easel tonight and my heart feels so full. This Christmas portrait series I’m doing over on Instagram has been so fun.

If you want to follow along with the process, I’m sharing each day over there in my “12 Days of Hand Painted Pets” series. I love showing how these portraits unfold 🤍 Im also having a blast making the reels📹

Either way, thank you for cheering me on. This season feels really special.🎄🤍❤️

I did not start over at 35 because I was confident.
I started because God kept tapping my shoulder and I finally stopped pretending I did not hear Him.

When God wants your attention, He will get it.
Sometimes through discomfort.
Sometimes through loss.
Sometimes through a quiet invitation that will not leave you alone.

This studio. This paint. This calling.
All of it came after I stopped running.

If you are in your 30s and starting over too, I want you to know this.
God wastes nothing. Not your years. Not your story. Not your gifts.

Cyber Sale is officially wrapping up today and Christmas commissions are now closed.❤️🤍❤️

I am SO grateful for every single order, message, and share. Truly.

If you still want to give something meaningful this Christmas, I am offering “pay what you wish” gift certificates that go toward a future custom pet portrait.

No pressure. No minimum. Just something heartfelt and personal.

This is perfect for:
• last minute gifters
• memorial portraits
• birthday surprises
• just because gifts

Message me and I will send you the details.

Thank you for making this season so special already. 🤍🤍🤍

Cyber Week at MLP Studio!!

I’m launching something fun this week. For a tiny window, my 6x6 custom pet portraits are $90. It’s my smallest size, but honestly one of the sweetest gifts. They look so good on shelves, desks, and little gallery walls.

Every order also comes with a discount card for your next painting. You can keep it or tuck it into a gift so someone else gets to join the fun.

Orders for this price are open through Sunday. After that, we’re back to regular rates.

If you want one, drop your pet’s name below or message me your photo at [email protected] and I’ll take it from there.🤍🤍🤍
