Pet Portraits Are a Great Gift

Saturday, February 11th, 2012

Having a pet portrait commissioned of your loyal pet isn’t a crazy thing to do. Our pets are as much a part of our family as children are, and for those without children, even more so. We have gotten so used to photos and videos we forget how lovely a hand painted portrait can be and is something that will last and stay in the family, along with the memories. Oil or acrylic pet portraits can be designed to show your pet with their favorite toy or in their favorite place, like chasing birds on the beach. One painting I did had the cat curled up to the doggy’s belly as they both napped peacefully, which showed their loving relationship. Another wonderful portrait was of two cats, their backs to the viewer, looking out the window. This was a wonderful memory picture of something their owner witnessed daily while they were alive and she liked looking at it as it made her feel they were still with her.

San Francisco, the Most Beautiful City in the USA

Saturday, February 11th, 2012

There is no doubt that San Francisco is one of the, if not the, most beautiful city in the US. From the sweeping expanse of Bay under the Golden Gate Bridge, to the Pacific Ocean and Ocean Drive, China Town, Ghiradelli Square and old, lovely hotels, it truly rivals Paris. There is so much to see and do you should really plan a full week to enjoy the city. San Francisco Tours are the easiest way to make sure you hit all the hot spots in a short period of time, and it is much easier than making your way around on your own. Be sure to research all the restaurants within walking distance of your hotel as there are so many to choose from, you don’t want to waste your time once you’re there trying to decide. Be sure to bring clothing for warm and cool: the sunny days get warm but once the fog rolls in, you will definitely need a sweater or light jacket year round. If you have time for a day trip, Yosemite National Park is only 4 hours drive from the city and you could even plan an overnight in the Park.
