<p>This was a fun portrait to work on. The client wanted their dog painted in a playful pose with one ear up and one ear down! I am always happy to include a pets favorite toy, etc. into a portrait also.</p>

<p>Here is a commissioned portrait painting that I completed in oil paint. I paint my original portaits in oil on canvas or use soft pastel on museum grade paper. I work in many layers in both mediums to build up the painting to the final layer. I am always happy to answer any questions that you may have on a commissioned portrait of your special pet. Many of my clients have had portraits done as a memorial for a pet that has passed away.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>This pastel painting is of a female silver tabby cat. She was playfully laying upside down on the steps for the pose that I chose to work from. I build up layers of soft pastel on archival museum grade paper for my portraits. I like the detailing that I am able to get with pastel and the soft sort of feel that these paintings have. I especially enjoy using it for my portraits of dogs, cats and horses. If you have any questions on having a commissioned portrait done, I will be happy to help you with them.</p>

For my pastel animal portraits I use an archival, museum grade paper and professional quality pastels. Framed under glass, pastel paintings will retain their vivid colors for hundreds of years. I enjoy the challenge of each new commissioned pet portrait that I do!</p>
