Custom Dog Portraits Painted with Love brown terrier westie

CUSTOM PET PORTRAITS PAINTED WITH LOVE
Molly
8x10 inches / oil on panel
SOLD
Painting a pet portrait is so personal that when important events occur in the lives of their pets, my clients will often contact me to share their news.  Such was the case today when Molly's mother, Kathy, notified me of an issue with Molly's digestive system which resulted in surgery to remove a large cancerous cyst.  There's normally only a 40% success rate, and she didn't seem well enough to sustain the surgery, but lo and behold, this smiling little girl is happy again and on the mend!  Kathy told me how having Molly's portrait gave her comfort during the process of so many veterinarian visits and surgery, so I thought I'd repost her portrait in celebration! 
Thank goodness Molly is well again!! ;o)

Adorable little Molly is always with her fuzzy, worn tennis ball.  Here she's cautiously standing on a small wall with a lovely, grassy field behind her.  Her beautiful mottled golden brown, black and gray fur was a joy to paint, especially since it just grew back this year!
 

Lady on Her Chair custom dog portrait Australian cattle dog border collie oil painting pet portraits painted with love

Lady on Her Chair
9x12 inches / oil on panel
SOLD
When I first saw my client's photos of Lady, I was immediately drawn to her deep, soulful eyes that could melt anyone's heart.  Her sleepy expression of contentment is so charming here as she lounges on her favorite plush chair, a delightfully cozy spot alongside the window.  Another beautiful story of a lovely dog rescued by a kind hearted man who gave her a "forever home" in his home and heart.

Large Custom Dog Portrait English Setter rescue oil painting Lizzie Tennis Ball Dog Bone

 
Lizzie
20x16 inches / oil on panel
SOLD 
The first image I saw of beautiful Lizzie was with her sister, both wearing tutus in my client's wedding; they were absolutely adorable!  So when she recently passed, I was was honored to create her portrait, nearly lifesized, shown here on a yard of black and white checked fabric along with her favorite toys, a tennis ball and bone.  It was a joy painting her fur with every nuance of spotted markings, especially her nose and eyes...such a beautiful and especially sweet girl.
 

People and Their Pets Custom Oil Painting retro 1970's photograph Carol and Freckles Bassett Hound Dog Portrait

Custom Oil Portrait
Carol and Freckles, October, 1973
18x14 inches / oil on panel
SOLD
 
  
 
 
This was quite a lot of fun to paint.  Working from an old photograph from 1973, I'd color corrected it in my mind's eye while painting, lowered the roofline, raised the ground level, moved the left window toward the center more, and added a third window in order to improve the composition. Such a nostalgic painting and my client is absolutely thrilled with it, saying I captured her and Freckles even better than the photograph!
