Day 17

This Australian Shepherd is a beloved, energetic Australian Shepherd.  She has a human brother and a Beagel brother, too. 

I love her attentive look and engaging smile.

The nose gives me trouble......every.....single......time..

Wow,   I scheduled myself quite heavily last week........and I was tired.   So yesterday, Valentine`s Day, I went for lunch with my sweetheart, and gave myself a break.  I reposted `Buster` I painted him in January 2017 for that 30 in 30. 

I hope you all had a wonderful day.

"Deuce"

10x10

acrylic on canvas

 

Rolanda sent me a couple photos of their Schnauzer, Deuce.  Some where he was freshly groomed, but I loved the picture of him when his hair was a little longer.  I started with a teal background, then decided to make it dark...and I'm happy with the way it turned out.

I've known Rolanda her whole life, and I am honored to create another painting for her Art Collection.

Myla

12x12

Acrylic on Canvas

 

This is the third time I've chosen Pet Portraits as my theme for my 30 paintings in 30 Days Challenge, and  Maegan, Myla's owner has submitted her photo every time.  I have to say,  it took me a while to decide to paint her, and I love how it turned out.  The first background was flat pink, and I hated it.  Then I added some white, yellow and a bit of orange to it with some pattern play.  I think Myla will be pleased.  

There you go, Myla!!

Here we go again.  30 in 30.  I signed up for this painting challenge on Leslie Saeta's blog.  She is the host of a podcast I listen to called Artists Helping Artists.  She hosts this painting Challenge twice a year.  This is my 4th challenge.  I started doing pet portraits last January and decided to do pets again this time. 

This is Roo.  Her owner, Ellicia says that she is a "Fiesty Little rocket with the biggest heart...she loves to meet new people! (I know, weird for a Chihuahua)"

I think she is pretty sweet.  Ellicia thought she was too sad in the first version of the painting, so I tried to "cheer her up" 

To submit photos to have your pet included in my 30in30, or to commission your own Pet Portrait, email me grafitti@telus.net

30 Paintings in 30 Days January 3. Day 3

  When I decided to paint pet portraits I asked for submissions on Facebook and Instagram. The result was amazing, and they  continue to come in. 

   This little Yorkie is Sugar. How sweet is that?!  Lol. Sugar belongs to Kirbi and she got a new human sister this year.  She also has some fur siblings who may be featured later this month. 

Thank you Kirbi.
