Pet Portraits Are a Great Gift
♫ Saturday, February 11th, 2012Having 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.
