"I am mesmerized by the pet paintings you have done. How did you ever figure out how to paint their souls?" Deborah C.

cat portrait of Tilly in the garden

Tilly
7x5 inches / oil on panel
SOLD
Tilly is strikingly beautiful with her vibrant green eyes, exquisite silhouette and soft, mottled fur. This portrait, like so many that are painted in memoriam of a beloved furred family member, is particularly special as my client commissioned this the day after losing her precious little Tilly. It was as if my painting contributed to the healing process from such an unexpected heartbreak. You’ll see a tiny little bee in the painting which was a special request; presumably Tilly enjoyed chasing them in the garden!

Stunning White Japanese Spitz named DAISY Custom Dog Portrait Oil Painting

Daisy
14x11 inches / oil on panel
SOLD
No matter how many pet portraits I paint, when first viewing my clients' photos, I'm always in awe of the beautiful creatures with whom we are privileged to share this Earth.  Here, this white snowball of fluff, Daisy, is absolutely irresistible . . . just wish I could snuggle kisses in that thick white fur! 
A little postscript...
I just love receiving photos from my clients when they frame and display their paintings, but I've never received one with the model in the pic!  Isn't Daisy just amazingly beautiful...and she's even sitting on the very same rug!  I'm so glad she gave me a "Paws up!" :o)
