Rupert

"Rupert"

9" x 12"   Oil on canvas

#20018517

This is a commissioned painting of a very young King Charles Spaniel as a Mother's Day gift. Rupert is primarily black with brown, tan and white. The challenge in this painting for me was that I did not use black at all. The obvious cute factor and expression was interesting to try and capture. I enjoyed this painting in my art studio and no matter which way I moved, Rupert was watching me.

Finnegan - a commissioned pet portrait

I have never painted a dog that was smiling before so this was really fun. It is always interesting to try and paint a pet whose coat is very similar light shades. It is a challenge to give the pet depth. It was interesting watching Finnegan develop and eventually smile at me! Thank you Tracy for this commission and the surprise tip!

Elvis - A Pet Portrait

  This is a commissioned pet portrait of "Elvis". Elvis was so cute and fun to paint. I had to check and recheck the photo reference on Elvis' tongue placement as it seemed to far right, but that was the correct placement. Tracy had also sent me a photo of Elvis with a tie on...looking so cute and fun that I hope to paint it one day!
