Labrador Puppy Portrait


This cute chocolate lab puppy was playing in the grass just long enough to get his picture taken before he pounced off.    Actually, this painting was from a black lab, but I made him a chocolate lab.  This is an 8x10 painted for Labradors of the South auction on December 12 in Atlanta, GA. 

Dog days


Pictured here are the beloved dogs of the same owner of my previous commissioned portrait, Jenny of www.labradorfriends.com.  Pictured here are Sam on the chair, Harley the Black Poodle and TJ.  I took three separate photos and posed them here as if they were wanting their picture taken.   This was painted on an 18x18 canvas with acrylic.

Five Labs


It's finished!  Here is a portrait that I was commissioned to do.  The owner, Jenny, asked for me to do her five labs.  Tazzie was the mother hen, but had passed away.  She asked that she looked like an angel in the picture.  Fred is the oldest on the left, then Homer, Jake and Cloe.  Jenny has asked me to do another portrait with three more of her beloved pets.  I will post that shortly as well.  

Here is what Jenny had to say about this portrait. 
"It's amazing.  You made me tear up looking at it."  - Jenny
