I have done pet portraits on commission for more than 25 years. Most of them were done in high-detail graphite. More recently, I have started to paint my portraits in watercolor, a technique I have fallen in love with after not using it for a very long time.
“Annie” – is a commission I did last Christmas. When Annie first saw her portrait, she kept looking at it and even jumped up onto the couch to be able to stick her nose right at the glass.

“Gizmo” – This little guy was a commission I did last Christmas. I had previously met him at a friend’s house, but also had great photos to work from.
