Wrigley - Final Proof

I have been so busy this past week! It's been great! Finished Fenway the King Charles Cav. Waiting for approval from client. Up next: Wrigley's buddy Fenway the cockapoo!

Angel - Update

Here is Angel with her infamous blue ball. Since the ball is blue and I have already started painting her with strong blue tones, I am going to add different color hightlights to Magic to lighten her up.

Wrigley - Proof 1

Here is Wrigley, a King Charles Cav. He is cute. Going to add a red collar on him and background color.

Casper

Angel and Sam - Proof 1

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday. With all the food and cooking I managed to get some painting done over the weekend. Take a look!

Maggie and Badgely - Final

Here is the final painting of Maggie and Badgely. I worked on Badgely's face a bit more. Painting a guinea pig was a bit harder than I thought!

Ossi - Final

I finished the painting of Ossi!

Maggie and Badgely - Proof 1

Here is the guinea pig I was asked to paint! This was my first attempt at painting a guinea pig. Maggie, the cockapoo, is scared of Badgely, the little guinea so I tried to capture that in the painting by having Badgely pushing Maggie of the painting!

Ossi - Proof 2

Here is the painting of Ossi sitting a green chair. It's almost finished!

Ossi - Proof 1

Here is what I have done so far for a mini schnauzer. Still trying to figure out how to position the hind feet but I like it so far. Reminds me of my doggie Kuma.

Harley - Final

Here is the final painting of Harley! I hope my client likes it. Next up, might be a guinea pig. Stay on the lookout!

Harley is coming along.

Here is what I have so far of Harley the adorable doxie. I might lighten up the blue background color a bit.

Pippy the Pomeranian Puppy

Here is the painting so far! Pippy likes to run and play in an ivy bed so I painted the ivy background. Pippy looks like she is playing Hide and Seek in the plants. I hope my client likes it.

Harley the Doxie

Here is a portrait of Harley. I wanted to show/exaggerate the breed's long body by having the body run off the canvas. And I still have to add 2 more legs.

Pippy the Pomeranian Puppy

Say that 10 times fast! ahahhaha

This little pup is soo adorable. I hope I can make the painting capture her.

Princie & Bucky - Final

Here is the final portrait of Princie and Bucky. I added a plumeria and Hawaiian design collar on the dogs to give it a Hawaiian theme without being too over the top. I hope my client likes it!

Princie and Bucky - 2nd try

Here is my 2nd version of Princie and Bucky. I added a plumeria to Princie the Shih Tzu to give the painting some Hawaiian style.

Princie & Bucky

These 2 adorable best friends are a Shih Tzu and Pekingnese. My client wanted to go with a Hawaiian theme so I will add a lei and plumeria to the doggies.

Rudi Beasley and Stella - Final

Here is the final version of the painting! I lightened the couch because the client doesnt like the color of his real couch so I changed it up! The painting is a surprise wedding anniversary gift. It's getting shipped out tomorrow so it can arrive in time for my client's anniversary!

Rudi Beasley and Stella

Here is the latest portrait I am working on. There will be 2 Brussells Griffon in the painting. The girl sitting on the floor is a chow/pitbull mix. Such a cute dog!

Sam

Here is a portrait of Sam the yellow Lab. He loves to play with tennis balls. He looks too serious in the painting now so I have to soften his eyes a bit.

Pippy - Final

Here is the final painting of Pippy at the beach! I shorted the snout and added a castle in the background to balance out the painting. I hope the owner likes it!

Pippy

Here is a painting I did of Pippy the ocean loving Chihuahua. She is a fashionable girl when she wears her collars with lots of bling!

Which do you like?

I started this painting of Mabel the Chocolate Lab as a very realistic portrait (well, my version of realistic ahahha)

But this is the 2nd version that my client and I liked!

It's done!

The painting of Gioia (formerly known as Lola) and Mimie is done! Framed and ready to go.

Louie

Here is painting I am working of Louie. He is 1/2 Pug and 1/2 Boston Terrier. Such a cute boy!

Puppy Shop Boys

Here is a portrait of Lola the Chihuahua and Mimie, the Maltese. Such cute ladies!

Horses are coming!

I have been asked a few times if I paint horses so recently I have been practicing. Unlike dogs, I don't see many horses around so I did painting from a photograph I saw online. Tell me what you think! For you horse lovers, let me know if you want a portrait made!

Lola the Cocker Spaniel

Last year I donated a painting to the New England Cocker Spaniel Rescue. This is the painting I am doing for the kind person who won the gift certificate! Isn't Lola a fun looking puppy?!
