This was done for commission.  I enjoy doing these interpretations from what are often fairly mundane snapshots taken by the pet’s owner.  Part of what’s so nice about doing them is that people are so appreciative when they see the dazzle of a little visual poetry applied to their beloved animal companion.

Lately, I’ve been so busy with commissioned work that I haven’t managed to keep up with posting.  Sorry, folks.  I’m doing all I can.  A kind of happy dilemma!  I’ll try to adapt.

  6. Kind of a surprise, how much reaction I’ve had on this little piece. I’ve been getting emails as well, and another commission for a pet portrait. I appreciate your encouragement, Jeffrey.

  7. I’m not a dog lover, but your beautiful painting would almost make me want a dog like that. Great work.
