JSue Art

Good morning. Yesterday was special. Delivered art to Hico Popcorn Works, had lunch with two very special friends (Donna and Karen), and surprised Karen with a portrait of her sweet furry friend Rusty. Karen holds a very special place in my heart. She was on my Texana Designs design team and she made my daughter’s wedding dress.

Good morning. I was given the opportunity to paint gorgeous Bella as a commission painting. 🥰
I wish I could meet all these beautiful pets I paint.💕

Good morning.💕

Good morning. I’ve been hearing expressed interest from some about pet portraits as gifts for the holidays. I will be taking the month of September off and get real busy from October through the end of the year. I hate turning people down.😩😩😩
If you’re interested let me know.☺️

Happy Mother’s Day!
Flowers from my backyard.💕

Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people—they always go away, sooner or later. You can’t hold them, any more than you can hold moonlight. But if they’ve touched you, if they’re inside you, then they’re still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart. ~Bruce Coville

Teddy. Teddy is the granddog of Popcorn Queen Donna McInnis and I loved painting him. I want to meet him.☺️☺️☺️
Thank you, Donna🥰🥰

Good morning. I believe this to be true💕

I love this gig for so many reasons. Meeting new animals lovers and reuniting with friends I haven’t seen or been in contact with in years. This is definitely one of those. I used to sing and play guitar with Julie Sparks. The last time I saw her was many years ago at her wedding. She contacted me asking if I would paint these precious dogs for her husband’s (Jeff) birthday. I nervously said yes. Well, because, Jeff is an amazing artist! Fortunately, he was very happy with the outcome.

Vacationing in Hiawassee, GA and Ashville, NC. The Azaleas were gorgeous!

Thinking of Susan Mayson who said goodbye to her sweet Benji cat yesterday. You’re in my heart.💕

Good morning. In 2019 our sweet Fergie passed away at the age of 18. She was such a little snuggly kitty.
I painted her the next day. She was my first pet painting.

Good morning. This is Gracie. Donna McInnis commissioned me to paint this sweet girl for her sister. Thank you!

Delivered art on Monday to Hico Popcorn Works-amazing shop. Delicious popcorn and other treats. Stayed at the Historic Midland Hotel. Thank you Donna McGinnis and Steve Douglas for a great visit🥰

A wonderful happenstance. I used to work with sweet Leigh at Cedar Valley Middle School. Had not seen her in over 15 years. She was visiting Hico and walked into Hico Popcorn Works and saw my art and photo. She and Donna visited, took a pic to send to me and Leigh took one of my business cards. She contacted me to do a pet portrait for her daughter. I was so excited to hear from her! After I finished the painting we met for lunch. It was so great to see and visit with her!

This is Shadow. He’s a sweet 5 lb. Pomeranian mix we dog sit. He is just adorable and so fun.

Front yard wildflowers are coming along. Excited to see them after the next few rainy days.

My friend Becky Kane loves Persians. She always has the most adorable Persians with posts that really depict their personalities. I did these pet memorial portraits of Gandalf and Rocky for he

Good morning. Pet portrait memorial of Snickers known to be an amazing dog. Such a sweet face.☺️ Cathy, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to paint your sweet Snickers along with Latte and Ruby.

We’re in CA for a few days and yesterday drove from Santa Cruz to Big Sur and back. Indescribably beautiful!

Good morning! This morning I was thinking about and looking at photos of all the sweet doggies we sit. Melo (5 lb. chihuahua) is definitely one of the cutest.

Good morning. We have the sweetest pups staying with us this holiday weekend. This one weighs about 6 lbs. and is so quiet and cuddly. I finished her painting this morning.
She hung out in my studio while painting her.

Good morning! This is Lola-one of our Rover doggies. She’s so adorable with her pink necklace and so sweet. I painted her a few years ago and so excited she is spending the weekend with us.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Spent the day hiking around Inks Lake State Park. Perfect weather.

Good morning. Thinking about sweet Winston. Miss him so much.

I just delivered the painting of Latte to her owner and got to spend some time with Latte. Such a sweet sweet dog.☺️. Thank you, Cathy!
I will start on Snickers tomorrow.

Good morning. This is Daisy-she’s one of our precious pups that we sit. She’s a little Jack Russell Terrier and one of the best!

Good morning! I mostly post pet portraits on this page but several of my paintings and cards are for sale at Hico Popcorn Works owned by Donna McGinnis. If you haven’t been to Hico and Hico Popcorn Works, do check it out. Best popcorn and chocolate covered pretzels ever!
I’m starting a rustic series for their store. Here’s the first one.
