"Jack Russell on a Red Rug"5X7
Oil on Gessoed Masonite
Sold
I wanted to share with you this sample of what I can do regarding commissions of dog (or animal) portraits. The owner took this picture of his Jack Russell resting on their oriental rug and it just happened to be a terrific pose and photograph from which to do this painting. If you have really good photos, I can use them for painting. Believe me, the photo matters. I also work from my own photos by appointment and I like to do that locally, but the owner is in a unique position of capturing the dog (animal) in all kinds of circumstances that I would not necessarily see. If you are considering having a portrait made from your photos, get out that camera, keep it handy, and take lots and lots of photos to increase your odds of getting that perfect shot.
An oil painting of your pet is a keepsake to last for generations. It's really fun to have. Great for Christmas or Birthday presents, too! If you are thinking Christmas present, now is the time to schedule it. (please don't wait until a few weeks before Christmas) It's also fun to do a collection of favorite pets on the wall, as one of my clients has done with all of her white boxers that she has rescued. The collection is a treasure for her and for her family to enjoy from now on.

Hey, Cheryl! I LOVE that Jack Russell, and the red red Oriental rug. Yum! I love the way you did the pattern of the rug, and the rich gold-yellow.
This may seem idiotic, but it's heartfelt: I've nominated you for the Brillante Weblog Premio. Now, I know it's a hoax, but it also seems to me that it can still take on the meaning WE give it; and as it meant a LOT to me being nominated by Dean H., I have nominated some artists whose work I like a lot.
You can read about it on my Art Blog if you want, and pass it on or not, as you choose. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your work and your blog.
