Animals are always a great inspiration to artists. Heather Houghton knows that and creates the most adorable paintings and illustrations with them. On her portfolio there are several super coloured and cute paintings with dogs, some with cats and even horses. I had a tough mission trying to pick just one picture. I almost chose a dog with candies and this lovely Alice in Wonderland, however, I was captivated by the giant pink imaginary friend from the illustration above. It's a pity I never had one.
