Troop and Boulder - Getting started!

Here is a new portrait I am working on. Troop and Boulder...two labradors.

Angel and Magic - Final

Here is the final of Angel and Magic. Waiting to see what my client says. Hope she likes it! I was told that Magic's portrait looks like Van Gogh's self portrait! That's a pretty cool compliment!

Fenway

Fenway is a cockapoo. He is Wrigley's buddy (such cute names!) I finished this painting during the holidays. At first I painted him with closed eyes but I redid the portrait so he would have big open eyes!

Magic - Getting started...

Here is what I have going on right now. Magic is Angel's buddy.

Angel

Happy New Year!!

Here is what I have so far of Angel the golden retriever.

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

Here is a maltese that I am doing for my friend in NY. Casper is such a cute dog!

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.
