A Personal Gift-Custom Animal Painting

I received a gift of GIGANTIC proportions this weekend. I am speaking in both literal & figurative terms. Everybody who knows me knows how I feel about Big Z. My doberman…Zelda. She is a big part of why my heart continues to beat everyday. She is PURE LOVE at all times. She brings EXTREME JOY to my soul. Can you imagine my happiness when I received a beautiful hand painted piece of art featuring Zelda to put in my home? It’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. She is so detailed and true to life in this painting! It’s almost a life size version of my King Size Dobie! Now I just have to find the perfect spot in my house for displaying this special piece of art. I cannot thank Alina enough for making me the most personal gift I’ve ever received. This is a quick snapshot taken with my cell phone (the one that fell in the bath a few weeks ago…yes, all the way to the bottom of the tub full of bubbles) but keeps on working. You’ve got to love the electronics of 2010!

I will share better photographs of this awesome painting when I find it a permanent home on one of my walls!

If you or somebody you know is looking for a custom drawing, sketch or painting you can find Alina along with samples of her wonderful artwork on

Facebook by clicking here.

She draws & paints animals, people & abstract pieces of art too. That’s TALENT!!! :-)
