Just Hiding Out animal painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan Don't miss the lady bug on the nose... This little dog was just too sweet not to paint him.

Gentle Summers Rain landscape painting by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan I love this little jewel of a painting. My daughter said " There is no such thing as a long haired cow."

Hope you love this one. 7x5 inches oil on canvas animal painting.
