Pet Portraits have become increasingly popular as commisioned pieces. Below is an image I just completed for a friend who recently lost her beloved dog Bailey. Our furry friends have become such an important aspect of our lives, it doesn't surprise me that many people are looking to memorialize their pets forever in a portrait.
After doing so many pet portraits for others, I figured it was time to paint my own best friend, Tyson. He recently turned 13, has become blind from cataracts, and lost almost all his teeth. I still love him to bits when I carry him out to do his business everyday. Did I do him justice in trying to capture his quirky personality in the painterly approach I took?
