Animal Paintings

Don't we love our animals? They become part of our family.

I am working on a space for a client and I wanted to add a personal touch to it. I think every space should have something you love in it.

When I saw her dog I knew I had to paint him.

 I love to paint but it has been awhile since I have painted on canvas. The last time was painting my valances in my Craft Room. 

I have painted all types and styles. A post that best represents this was my Painting and Love post.

This was something I really enjoyed because of my love for animals. I am now thinking of offering custom pet portraits in my ETSY shop. I love how doing one thing turns into something else.

I started with a picture printed off my computer.

I penciled in a sketch of the subject and started layering paint. I used acrylic.


I kept the photo near me to try and get the likeness of the animal as close as I could.


I love the way it came out and I think his owner did too!



What do you think? I love painting on this size. They are 12x12 gallery wrapped canvases.
