"We begin to find and become ourselves when we notice how we are already found, already truly, entirely, wildly, messily, marvelously who we were born to be.”

Hey LoLO!!!!!! Long time no see. I saw you on the IF page and had to come visit. I haven't forgotten you, missy. I OWE you big time.
Love your dog portrait. My dog will balance a bone on her nose but will not sit for long. The second I release my hand from the biscuit she thinks it is time to eat it.
What a great one! I can see in my mind how this will go after. I love it when dogs do that! It is so funny. My doggies don´t have the nose for that...... :)
This is a place where I share my art and my heart. I hope something I create resonates with you in some positive way, whether it be my images, my words or both.
I'm always grateful for your visits and your comments.
If you have time, please browse "Find me here too!" to see more of my art and photos.
If you see an image you like, please ask before using it. All images are copyrighted and property of the artist. Thank you.

Oh I like this... one of my dogs, Taffy can actually do that!...poor dear.... it's about the only trick she can do, but it's pretty funny!
BTW...I love the banner...
i LOVE it. LOVE it.....
wait a great idea for 'poise'! and those eyes--you've captured them perfectly.
i am very impressed!
woof!
This is an awesome concept!
Hey LoLO!!!!!! Long time no see. I saw you on the IF page and had to come visit. I haven't forgotten you, missy. I OWE you big time.
Love your dog portrait. My dog will balance a bone on her nose but will not sit for long. The second I release my hand from the biscuit she thinks it is time to eat it.
How cute! Gorgeous baby!!!
this is wonderful and funny too. like yr new banner picture too.
This is a fantastic picture Laurel. I love the red collar.
Your gift hasn't arrived yet, but I'm sure as that dog ate that biscuit that they will arrive in a flash.
Laurel, can you send me my party card you made. See you give me an inch and I take a mile.
For S in Studio I say Sweet and for L in Lolo I say Laurel. To everyone else you are Studio Lolo but to me you are Sweet Laurel.
I had a blast yesterday. Thank you for helping make it one.
Love Renee xoxoxo
I just love this. Our pup can do that too and it is just so sweet how they love to obey and wait... wait.. wait.... OK.
Great illustration and explination of Poise!
I could never get my dog to do this! Great poise. =)
i love the white whiskers or is that saliva that has pooled under his chin? :) i love this!
:DD
Wonderful!!
How many seconds did he hold?
Love it!
Oh he is so sweet - wonderful picture Laurel.. Wicked cute!!! Hee hee!!!!Love it!! Sarah
Wonderful illustration Laurel - what a patient dog!!
This is just fantastic. My ole dog Mishka could do that trick. This looks a lot like him. I wish he was still here. Sigh~~
Look at that expression...talk about trying to please! Great job and wonderful illustration. Oh, I like your new banner!
awwww this one really made me smile

Happy Cactus monday LOlo!
How did I miss this one yesterday????? It is fabulicious!!!! Love it....so cute and so well done.
What a great one! I can see in my mind how this will go after. I love it when dogs do that! It is so funny.
My doggies don´t have the nose for that...... :)
I'm still chuckling, thanks
- and a beautifully painted portrait!
Amazing,I love it,his expression tells us everything,great piece
This is funny and beautiful. and an out of the box idea, and I don't know what to say except-you're amazing!
I often try this myself, but with a glass of wine-does not work. Anyway.
Perhaps I should print this out and post it on the fridge to keep me out of the naughty foods! Wonderful!
i could never make our dogs do that, this is great!
lovely drawing!
A great use for a perfectly good nose!
haha! perfect! excellent work laurel!
you have managed to capture another great expression
I totally LOVE doggies! Your work and your whole blog is so fun!
amusing!
What a tease! Wonderfulness!
