Pet Portraits


A friend who is a veterinarian asked I paint the family pets as a gift for her parents. The idea on my end was to show how it can be done and how nicely they would look on tiles and other gift items available from my shop on the web. Above is my favorite of the three 'Dixie'. While painting it it became real to me and I would talk to her, after all she looks like she is listening. Here is the link to all of them and the many products they come on, http://www.cafepress.com/figstreetstudio/4159860 Her mother got the tiles, pillows, and clocks, her Dad a men's tie. All were very happy with the new idea in gifts. Here too is my web page about getting a pet portrait, http://www.figstreet.com/studio/petportraits.html
