As you know, I have been working on fire.  I’m actually “on fire” with this whole fire painting thing.  However, I needed to take a time out.  I also needed to use the fire colors for something fun.

As you know, Ipo was one of my first acrylics.

So… I decided it was time to tackle Malia.  Again.

Big Chihuahua

Malia is a 3-1/2 pound Chihuahua who actually thinks she is a Pit Bull.   When we walk the beach, she will go tearing up to all the big dogs trying to get them to cower in her presence. Fortunately the dogs on Kailua Beach are almost all very tolerant of Malia.  They ignore her (or they don’t see her because she is so tiny) and so to save face… since she knows she can’t really beat them, she walks away… head held high.

So… I decided it was time to tackle Malia.  Again.

I have looked into her cute little face for 10 years and while this painting is sweet.  It’s not the complete picture of Malia.

Here is the one I painted several years ago…
