Determined Spirit, pastel
All Creatures Great and Small

I have a special interest in painting oil, pastel or charcoal portraits of beloved animal friends-those horses, cats and dogs that forever touch our hearts.


Collector's Comments

Dear Karen,

My children laugh that your painting of the little white dog has a more honored place on the wall than their portraits.

Every time I look at it, it not only reminds me of Petey, my very best friend for 18 years, but it also embodies his spirit and energy in a way that a photo never could.

I treasure the painting and am grateful to have it as part of my life.
Thank you.

Karen is a remarkable lady and incredibly gifted artist, who is able to truly capture the spirit and essence of her subject.

I am fortunate to have a beautiful portrait of two of our beloved dogs, Buddy and Brandy that Karen so meticulously painted.

Now that Buddy is no longer with us, this painting will always depict the love that he brought to our family for so many years.
Thank you Karen!
