"I would rather see a portrait of a dog that I know than all the allegorical
paintings in the world." -- Samuel Johnson

"YOU know better than anyone else how much your dogs' personalities contribute to their special beauty. As a professional artist specializing in animal portraits, I take pride in creating artwork that captures not just the physical likeness of your pet, but also the character that portrays his or her true soul." -- Raven
My
dog
portraits, which are based on your clear, detailed photographs,
are drawn in permanent ink on top-quality watercolor paper at a finished size of
approximately 8" x 10" or larger. 
The one-of-a-kind original portrait is then given a light watercolor wash
for a warmer, more realistic look. Portraits come ready to be matted and framed
by your framing professional to suit you own individual taste and decor. If you
wish, I can also make your dog portrait into note cards, or make you additional prints for family and friends. I do
portraits of dogs, cats, horses and many other animals. I can also do
composite portraits of multiple animals and also do special backgrounds and
small alternate pose insets on your dog portrait. Please check the portraits plus page for more details or my "Biography
Portraits" for a truly memorable option.
