Pet Portrait Depicting Our Beloved Dog
Here’s something different than a custom house portrait — a pet portrait depicting our family’s beloved dog, Max. The artwork was requested by our 30 year-old son Chaz, and portrays Max in the white bow tie he’ll be wearing on Chaz and Katie’s upcoming wedding day! He’ll be a handsome addition to their wedding photos, don’t you think? Chaz and my husband found Max when a puppy alone in the woods eight years ago. They brought him home and he’s been a beloved member of our family ever since. Even having only one eye, he’s still the happiest, friendliest, and best behaved dog we’ve ever had or known — and the portrait captured his personality! He’s truly one of a kind.
I’ve included small depictions of dogs and cats in many house portraits for clients before, but this is the first actual “pet portrait” I’ve ever done and I thoroughly enjoyed it! So, if you have a special pet and would like it portrayed, let me know and I’ll fit it in my schedule!
This 8″ x 10″ portrait of Max was rendered in watercolor, colored pencil, and black India Ink.
