Cricket - Proof 2

Here is the progress on Cricket's portrait. I just found out from Cricket's mom that he had surgery this week. We wish him the best and a fast recovery!

Emma Lou - Almost done!

I'm almost done with Emma Lou's portrait. I "greyed" up the dog's face and lengthened the nose. I like the way its coming out so far...

Emma Lou - proof 2

Here is an update on Emma Lou. I narrowed her face and lightened up her coat.

Stella - Final

Stelle is done! I had a lot of fun working on this portrait. Stella's collar runs off the canvas but I still have the details on the sides of the portrait. It ended up being like a little hidden treasure for Stella's owner.

Cricket the Cocker Spaniel

Cricket is a sweet black Cocker Spaniel. This painting will have alot of elements! Dog bed, toys and the doggie...

Stella - Proof 2

Almost done! I darkened up the ears and just need to put the finishing details on the collar.

Emma Lou - Italian Greyhound

This is Emma Lou the Italian Greyhound. Her coat is a blue grey and I really wanted to play on the "blue" of her coat. But I think I went a bit too far, so I am going to add a bit more grey...Come back to see what I do!

Stella - Proof 1

Started this painting last week. I've been really busy lately but its been so much fun!

Magic - 2nd try

Magic's head needed to be a bit wider. Rather than reworking my paiting, I decided to redo it completely. It ended up being a good idea, a fresh start. So now Magic's owner is 100% happy with the portrait.

Troop and Boulder - Finished!

Here is the portrait of Troop and Boulder!

Troop and Boulder - In the process

Here is what I have done so far on Troop. When I saw pictures of his rich brown coat, it looks almost purple...it's like how deep black looks blue to me. That might sound crazy to people! ahahah I have a bit more work to do on Boulder.

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!
