Cat in the Box Portrait

This is a portrait of my all time favorite Kitty, named Captain.  He stuffed himself into this small box about fifteen years ago and I ran quick for a camera!   I chose to paint him a little larger than life a few weeks ago because I still miss this special, affectionate Maine Coon.  The portrait is done in liquid acrylic on a 16″ X 20″ canvas.   Do you have a favorite pet I could create a wonderful portrait of?  Please contact me through this site if you are interested.

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??
