"Boston" 

11x14

acrylic on canvas

 

Sarah Submitted Boston's photo to me quite a while ago.  I found it hard to photograph this painting with it's  dark background.  I'm sure there are some tips I could learn to do a better job taking pictures.Boston is a "rescue puppy" with some shepherd in him, for sure.   He just looks like the happiest guy around.  And so handsome. 

 

It was a pleasure to paint him.

Amanda, Lily's owner said that she and Lily are the only females in the household, so they stick together. She is christened, Lily, Batdog, because of the ears.  I'm sure she would fit in very nicely on the set of the next Batman Movie!

"he loves to play hard, then crashes!" according to his owner, Sara..  Look at those big eyes.

I started with the orange and yellow as an underpainting, but decided to go with it.

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!!

Day 2
I listened to a podcast about marketing, and they said to find your Niche Market.  So I thought, well, my Pet Portraits certainly appeal to dog Lovers, so I joined a couple Facebook groups, and posted some of my work.  I received lots of feedback and some orders.  When I decided to do the 30in30 for February, I posted a little video on one of the groups and the response was PHENOMENAL!!
I will be doing lots of shipping this month. 


This is Baxter.  He and his "Brother" love hiking in the mountains and playing in the snow!!

30 paintings in 30 Days Feb 1, 2018

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
