Jack

My aunt contacted me through facebook about painting her dog Jack. I haven't seen this dog in awhile but as a kid I ADORED him. He has the sweetest personality. Here is the painting I did for her of the adorable Jack. 

Sweet Zoe

This painting is very dear to my heart. A dear friend asked if I would paint Zoe. Zoe is her friend's dog and recently had to be put down. Losing a pet is probably the hardest thing one will ever face. I'm glad I was able to do this for her as another way for her to remember her sweet Zoe. Lots of loves Karen and Joan. 

Little Owl

So, this weekend my very best friend will be moving across the country - away from me. We had a lovely goodbye dinner tonight and spent time just being in each other's company. She's pretty much the best. She knows my heart and I'm so thankful for her. Here's to a new chapter in our friendship!

With that being said, this Little Owl was a gift to her. We did a trade awhile ago and this is her end of the trade but more importantly a little going away present. I love it, I love the character in this bird's face. Enjoy!

Spanky

So lately I've done a few commissioned pet portraits for the buyer to surprise their friend/significant other/etc. with. It's been really fun but I have to wait to post about them just in case it ruins the surprise.

That was the case with Spanky, the pug. I had previously painted a cat named Ursula for a co-worker's husband as a surprise for him. He in turn wanted to surprise her with a painting of Spanky, her pug. It was fun and a challenge as he requested it a little larger than normal and on canvas. So here's Spanky! And you can see Ursula below Spanky.


I'm finishing up some paintings that are gifts so hopefully a few more posts will be coming next week! Happy Saturday and thanks for looking!

My niece pup.

My sister has three adorable dogs. I've painted the two boys she's had, but this girl is the newest member to the fam. This is Abby and this painting is from when she was a puppy. This was a VERY belated birthday present to my sister. I feel like the scan didn't do it much justice, but I still love it.

I have a few more pet portrait commissions coming up so I'm pretty excited - be looking forward to those!

Moose

I've been painting a lot for different gifts for people. Birthdays, belated birthdays, you name it.

My littlest sister turned 16 this month! For her birthday I thought it would be both fun and funny to paint her a moose. Somewhere an obsession with moose happened. I'm not sure if it was her or my dad - either way a moose was fitting. Very different than my normal work but I really enjoy the end product. Happy Birthday Little Sister Moose! :)
