My first time painting in over 9 months, to say I have missed it would be an understatement. The smell of the oil paints, the glide of the brush, and the cathartic release of creativity. For me, painting is almost like coming home. #Oils #petpaintings #petportrait #dogpaintings #dog #dogportrait #Rottweiler #WorkinProgress #Art #Artwork #painting #britton39sartstudio #BrittonYergerVaughn

Recent News: Cotton District Arts Festival went over like a breeze. My parents came up around 1pm to take over so we could go to Jeremy's sweet cousin's wedding that night. It was a busy day! We had a great time and Starkville was so welcoming, as always! Now we're revving up for Double Decker in Oxford this Saturday, please help pray it doesn't rain and that I don't go into labor! How Far Along: Today - 35 weeks and 3 days -- 4 weeks and 4 days until due date! Baby V's Siz

I was a very busy woman this past month! Checked off 6 pet portraits and still had time to cook for Christmas, shop for gifts, and clean for house showings (oh yeah, our house is on the market!). To purchse a pet portrait click here =] "My sister Meg McGrath gave me a picture of my dog Tarbh you created for my birthday this year. I absolutely love it! Tarbh is an amazing dog who has never met a person he doesn't want to be best friends with, and I really think you putting his

Finished this beauty today! This is Rockie, a woman contacted me to paint her parent's recently passed dog as a surprise Christmas gift to her owners. I hope and know they will love it! I have two more paintings to finish in only two weeks; even though I'm two years out of college, I feel like its final exam week. I am so blessed to have this much work but with another big trip coming in two weeks, I'm going to be pulling some all-nighters. Next year, I'm thinking about doing

We've added an new addition to the family! We've named her Miss (for Miss Priss, Little Miss, and of course Ole Miss). She is one cool cat! Gee and Miss get along great, except when Miss tries to eat Gee's food... It's a work in progress. Miss loves to watch me paint. We've already had two near miss "cat-tastrophies" because Miss wanted to play with my brush, that was loaded with paint. She is also a great excuse to practice painting cats -- so excited!! I have always wanted

This dog's name is Blue, which is perfect because he has a bright blue shine to his coat! Blue died of cancer recently and I'm painting this as a surprise present from a daughter to her father. Her dad is going to cry! A painting of Blue in his favorite place, the beach, wet and covered in sand. Here is a work in progress shot, he came a long way didn't he. #art #brittonyerger #labrador #blacklab #lab #britton39sartstudio #dog #dogpaintings #mississippi #olemiss #oxfordms #pa

The other day I was asked to be a sketcher for Yappy Hour's new event at the Power House that partnered with the Art Crawl. The event took place two nights ago and was a blast! I got to meet fellow artists and dog lovers as they watched me work. The first dogs I sketched were Chinese Crested dogs; they are the hairless ones. The owner was amazingly nice and her children were kind to hold them still while I drew them. But I have to say, I was stressed. I had never drawn a hair

Sophie and Annie are 24x24'' oil paintings commissioned for a friend of mine for her redecorated condo in Oxford. These dogs were so fun to paint, soulful eyes and perfect little button noses. To see more go to my Pet Gallery. I'm currently reworking a deer painting I did as a gift last year. He's on his way! Who knew that I would be a part-time painter after college. Since 1st grade, I knew I would be an artist. Since jr. high, I knew I would be a graphic designer. After col
