The Bond of Sisterhood
Jessica and Lucy
16×20, Oil on Gessobord
I received this order in October, paid in full on Etsy. I panicked because I knew I was already booked until after Christmas. The client assured me she just wanted to get in my queue and it was no rush. What a wonderful client she turned out to be! Not only did I receive this awesome photo to paint from, the dog on the right, Lucy, is not even her dog! She is the sister of Jessica and belongs to someone else! I was astounded that someone would pay for a portrait of someone else’s dog. It turns out that Jessica and Lucy are very bonded. Although they don’t live together, they spend a lot of time together and it was just natural to paint them together. Like I said, a most wonderful client. Thank you Michelle!!
Hunka, Hunka Burnin’ Love!
Here it is at last! My hunka, hunka burnin’ love!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
This beautiful girl is Persephone Dawn. I wanted to share her on Valentine’s Day because her reference photos came with the most heartwarming story of love and loss. It really moved me and I hope I’ve captured her for eternity for her Mom. It was important that her name be in the painting so look closely. Persephone Dawn, 8×10, Oil on Gessobord. Happy Valentine’s Day and hug your loved ones close today!
In Memoriam…
So often I’m asked to paint a beloved pet who has passed away. Some have been commissioned as gifts from loved ones, some from close friends and many are commissioned by the grieving owners. I hear stories of these wonderful furbabies and I grieve with each and every one. I’ve lost a few of my own over the years and I know how heart-wrenching it can be.
I’ve seen an increase this year, even painting a few who have been at the Rainbow Bridge for many years. It is an awesome feeling that I’m creating a memorial that will be cherished for years to come. With my art, I hope to bring a happy memory that might heal even a tiny part of a broken heart.
For those who have loved and lost, they are never really gone as long as you can remember them in your heart.
I fall in love with my clients!
I fall in love with my clients. It’s as simple as that.
Sometimes people contact me to do a portrait of a pet that has passed away, some are gifts for others, sometimes they are just a gift to themselves. All of my clients have a special relationship with these cherished pets and I love hearing about them when they contact me. I’ve been told that I capture their souls. I hope that’s true because they have certainly captured mine. By the time I finish even the smallest paintings, I am in love.
I hope my clients don’t mind the hug they receive on delivery, even if it’s just virtual. Love was meant to be shared!
Nora
As an artist, sometimes there are subjects that just speak to your heart more than others. Such is the case with Nora.
Nora was one of 100 Brittanies rescued last July from a breeder who could no longer care for them. She was HW+ and terrified of people. Her foster family decided to adopt her and she was slowly coming around. The unthinkable happened in January when she slipped her leash while vacationing in Florida. I heard about her story at this point and every day held my breath waiting to hear of her being found. Well, after a month of searching, and against all odds, she was found! I painted this, from my heart, in honor of Nora and as a gift for her wonderful family that never gave up on her. Nora, 4″x4″, acrylic on Gessobord.
