I see that you have already received some great ideas, so I'm just here to say that I fucking LOOOOVE the ones of the dogs. God, H would love if i did something like that. Of course, I can't really paint. I'm pretty much a pens and pencils only kind of gal.

Ditto this, but I'm also obsessed with Dali in general, so it's wholly unsurprising, haha.

Thanks! It's kind of funny to me, cuz like I said in the OP I just did that one as a joke, but that one is FI's favorite too! :P

I got to go to Dali's house in Spain! It was INSANE! (And really really awesome)

We drove by it but didn't go in. It looked ridiculously awesome though.

Your second painting reminds me of Gaudi's dragon gate at Park Guell.

I have no advice, but just wanted to say these are awesome and thanks for sharing!! 

I'm a big fan of the second one. It's awesome! We have a Beardsley coffee table book and this reminds me quite a bit of his work.

If you're up to it, a crazy-line cloud would be a really perfect marriage of what your sister wants and what you have going on in the painting for her.
I would not add more itty bitty subjects.

Question - was part of the difficulty painting it all with a brush by hand? Have you ever looked into paint pens? Liquitex makes paint makers, Golden makes high flo acrylic that can be put into an empty pen like the ones Pentel makes. I would do that if you're not already.

I've never tried a paint pen. I think I will have to check those out.
