My art is featured on the cover of JAVMA!!

I was dumbstruck and humbled when I got the email saying my work was to be featured on the February 2010 cover of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. It's been so fun to hear from vets across the country and to meet new people through this opportunity! Thank you sooooooooooooo much to the wonderful people at JAVMA : )

"Byron" - Missed, but never forgotten

"Byron"

I just finished this painting and it's taken me a bit longer to finish this; I wanted to get it perfect, as it has special significance. This is the late Byron kitty. His owner shared with me how special he was to her and is deeply missed. It was an honor for me to paint this for her, and I hope it brings a lot of comfort and good memories.

New Art by Rachel - Watercolor Cat Painting

One of my goals for 2010 is to paint with more color, more looseness, and more light! So I'm doing some studies of this particular kitty to practice. More to come...
