Who Let the Dogs Out?

This is Sugar and Bentley, and they are going to make

someone's Christmas very special! I do enjoy drawing

pets for people, especially when the finished product is

a surprise gift.

And I sold another Greece piece today...it is going to be a

Christmas surprise as well. But I can't tell you which

one it was because the recipient reads this blog!

so much fun....

Dog Gone

I finished up this dog portrait late last night,
and the client saw it today, and loved it. It
always feels good when the pet owner is
satisfied with the art work. I thought it
turned out well, and it will be really nice
matted and framed.

If you are interested in a pet portrait, just
let me know. I am very affordable, and I work
from your photograph. They make a great gift
for the person who has everything! It is a
great time right now to order something for
this Christmas. You can email me with any questions.
Thanks!

Dog Days of Summer

Taking a break from Greece art...started on this

pair of dogs tonight. It is large, 16 x 20. I put down

a watercolor wash first to fill in some color all over.

This is a shortcut in colored pencil...helps to get

some underlying colors down so it goes faster adding

the pencil over it. Both mediums are transparent,

so they are compatible.

These dogs belong to a friend that wanted a large

portrait of them. They are a mother (on the right)

and her daughter ( on the left).

Should be finished in a couple of nights.

For info on Pet Portraits: email me.

I work from your photo, and there are several

sizes: 11 x 14 $100 16 x 20 $150 22 x 30 $250

Too Cute

Just when I think I don't want to do any

more pet portraits, one like this shows up.

I really enjoyed drawing him, and I hope

the owner is pleased.

Bullet Done

I tweaked a little more on this puppy...I

think he is finished. I am probably going

to mat him to a 12 x 12 square. It will show

off his cute face, and eliminate the foreshortening

problem. I am sure she will like it. It is a gift

for the boyfriend who gave her the dog. And I

believe it is a surprise. So, I will get it shipped

and on his way...Merry Christmas!!
