Pet Portrait, Daily Painting, "A Face to Die For" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil
Years ago, I collected commissions for pet portraits. Eventually, I tired of painting from what were usually very bad images and drifted in other directions. Every once in a while, I will see a puppy or kitten that I want to paint.....like this one.
I couldn't resist that little face, or, the sunlight that was pouring in behind.

Dogs, dogs, and more dogs! Pet Portraits, Dog Paintings, Small Oil Painting,
My niece Kayla, asked me to paint a small portrait of her dog. It reminded me of all the dog portraits I did, when I first started painting.
People have such an emotional connection with their pets.
I enjoy the personality that show in pictures of dogs and I strive to capture that quality in my paintings.
Some of my favorites...
Have a happy day!

Dog Painting, Pet Portrait, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x10" Oil Painting, SOLD
Today's post features a commission I was asked to do. My customer wanted a large print of the family pet to give as a gift to her daughter. She sent me several images of her dog Bennett.
Of course, I could not do a print, without an original painting, so we decided on a 8x10" oil.
She chose what I considered the worst image. She wanted a horizontal painting and the image was vertical. She didn't want the background to be too strong and in the image, the right eye of the dog was in such deep shadow, it was practically invisible. But........she felt this image captured the spirit of her pet. We made it work!
She was thrilled with the final image and now she owns the original and her daughter has the large print.
Commissions can often be difficult. It is hard to get in the head of your client, and translate their expectations to canvas and paint. When it happens...it's a thing of beauty!
