I'm pretty happy with how she turned out.

Check out her gallery of past paintings.......I guarantee you will be impressed.

I always enjoy viewing paintings/pictures of animals done by a truly gifted artists.
And no, this is not an advertisement, just a very satisfied customer who was impressed at how well she captured our pets personality in her painting of him.......

(53,410 posts)You have a completely different approach to how you paint dogs and cats. Its much more true to life than the charming depictions of buildings and lans apes. I like this because you arent trying to make animals cute. I admire that.

(12,440 posts)when they use "egg tempura"???? with the animals licking the paintings.
One tells his customers to hang it near the ceiling, out of dogs reach for at least a year, so the dog can't reach it.....

(65,799 posts)egg tempura completely off by spring when I went to rehang it. I had that thing for twenty years. They left the oil paintings completely alone.

(65,799 posts)and I picked up the cat and covered most of his left side by the time I put him down. Trying to clean him only spread it out. This kids in the condo next door thought the blue cat sitting in the window was pretty neat. He'd get into the window every morning to watch them leave for school.
I didn't want to use thinners on him so I was reduced to using dry paper towels on him. He's white so he stayed clearly blue for over a month. Fading slowly to baby blue and then white. He didn't seem to mind but the missus was not pleased. I use good paint - lapis in walnut oil so I don't think it hurt him.

Reminds me of my Siamese who died over 30yrs ago, especially the tall ears.
