This was a very unusual table! The clients arrived with both the table and a real dog, asking me to transform their table to look like their Visla breed dog. In addition to changing the solid black sculpted base into the golden brown hues of their dog, I also painted the top and the base to look like rich, black marble. Of course the undersides are also painted like marble to support the illusion that it is real stone! (I’ve included a photo of what the table arrived looking like).

A Dog and His Llama
This Golden Retriever has his favorite stuffy in his front paws. So sweet. The acrylic portrait is only “11 X 14”. Perhaps you might like to have me paint your loving pet?
Dog Portrait: Barney with a Scarf
I painted this charming portrait of a Black Lab on an “18 X 24” canvas in Acrylics. He was commissioned as a birthday gift for his loving owner. I was told that Barney is a kind and patient dog who was a tad annoyed by having this scarf wrapped around him, hence his less than happy continence as he obediently regards us! I worked deligently to pull all the details out of his smooth black fur. The scarf was especially fun to paint. Do you have a special animal in your family that you would like me to paint as a canvas?? Please feel free to contact me through this site. Prices start at $200.
Dog Portrait Toby at the Beach
I painted this sweet portrait of a Maltese on a 20″ X 24″ canvas in Acrylics. He was commissioned as a surprise gift for a soldier for when she returns from deployment this spring. I can tell Toby is a sweet dog and much loved by his family. The leash extending off the canvas gives the viewer the illusion of holding the leash, strengthening the connection between the viewer and this charming animal. It was a pleasure to paint him! Do you have a special animal in your family that you would like me to paint as a canvas??
