Dog Portraits

These are a great examples of how different dog portraits can be
 even when painted in a similar format.


Take Henry here.
He is a loveable, forgiving, wonderful dog that is always smiling and happy to see you.
He has these amazing eyes and colour markings on his fur.
I incorporated a complimentary colour as background and voila.



Patches is a sweetheart who thinks all 105 pounds of her should make her a lap dog.
Her sad expression always lets her get too many treats.
I cast a blue shadow and used that as a background.




With Selene I wanted a very formal portrait.
The first reason being that she's the type of dog that has harsh bone structure and we can use the dramatic lighting to do this. The second reason is I really wanted to try this background effect.


All were painted at the same time and in a similar format but are so different.

You've Got Mail

I managed to take photos the other day before I sent off a 6" by 6" panel. I thought that a few might be interested in how I try to make sure that you're artwork gets to you unscathed.  Before I do any wrapping, I make sure that all the information is on the back of your purchased art piece. Title, medium, size, Artists name (because my signature is impossible to decipher). Also I print an inventory number which will look something like 026.2018. 1. I wrap all boards/canvases in wax paper. There will be no smudging on my watch. 2. Bubblewrap comes next as I do not want corners dinged.    3. Tissue paper is the third wrap. This is a gift for you or someone you love and I  want you to feel like it's a present when you open it. 4. Inside your envelope you will find:  A Thank You card - because it's important for you to know that you are appreciated.  Two business cards for you to share with others Your invoice and receipt  One
