Brett was a rescued Brittany Spaniel who gave a family a lot of joy during his time here on this earth  Even though he may have had a rough start to his life, his final years were filled with love, hugs, long walks and lots of cookies.

If you have a special pet that you would like to commemorate with a lasting portrait, please feel free to contact me.

This commissioned painting was a birthday surprise.  The person who commissioned the painting sent me a photo of himself with the dog, but didn't realize that he would be included in the painting.  But who was going to support the dog, I asked?

I would love to do a pet commission for you.  Drop me a note and we can discuss specifics.  

Jackie

It seems that painting animals is my forte. When I paint a dog or a cat, it comes out far better than if I paint a scene, a still life or people.

This dog is named Jackie. She belongs to a friend of mine and last April, she almost lost her. We were in Atlanta working an event, and poor Jackie was at home in Colorado and got deathly ill. Her poor owner, nearly 2000 miles away was beside herself with worry. Who wouldn't be? Fortunately, in the end Jackie got better. But this is the life of people with pets. They get sick. They can't tell us what's wrong and the worst of all, no matter how much we love them, we generally outlive them.

Jackie's mom was kind enough to let me download a photo of her, and this painting is the result. I hope she likes it. I think she should have it while Jackie is still alive, don't you?
