Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time creating abstracts, so I felt like taking a little break and trying something different. Karen Campbell’s Wonky Woofers was the perfect choice. As I flipped through the book, Sweet Sadie immediately caught my eye. With her floppy ears, curly features, and sleepy little eyes, she was just too adorable to pass up.

It was such a fun change of pace to create something whimsical and playful instead of my usual abstracts, and Sweet Sadie certainly brought plenty of smiles to my studio.

Why Sweet Sadie Stole My Heart

One of my favorite things about Sweet Sadie is her peaceful expression. She looks completely content stretched out on the ground with her eyes gently closed, as if she’s having the best nap ever.

What made this project even more special is that my own furry baby, who recently turned two years old, is also named Sadie. In fact, this little Wonky Woofer looks a bit like her! Those floppy ears and sweet expression reminded me so much of my own girl, which made this project feel extra special.

The Joy of Trying Something Different

One of the things I love about creativity is that it doesn’t always have to be serious. Sometimes it’s about trying something different, having fun, and creating something that simply makes you smile.

As much as I love painting colorful abstracts, it was refreshing to switch gears and create something playful and lighthearted for a change.

Final Thoughts

Sweet Sadie may be taking a nap, but she certainly made a lasting impression on me. Between her floppy ears, gentle expression, and cozy pose, she’s a pup that’s hard to forget.
