As I was looking at material to revamp my webpage I came across this painting that I did a few years ago. Being involved with canine rescue for so many years I was exposed to the horrific conditions some dogs live in their whole lives. This painting reflects what a difference we can make by adopting a dog and giving them HOPE!
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!!
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!
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. 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!
