"Opie and Rainey" is for Holly, who found me on Etsy. It is the first of the three paintings I am doing for her family. I have become a Santa's helper--a pet portraitist elf! Opie on the right is a wire-haired Dachshund; Rainey on the left is a Jack Russell. The two are great buddies, with Opie being super mischievous and fun-loving.
As you can see, they are heart-meltingly adorable and are the reason why Holly's son, Eli, comes home once a week for his "dog fix." But I am getting ahead of myself. The painting is for Holly's husband. Eli will be getting a smaller one. Once again, my readers, keep the whole thing secret. Mum's the word....
If you send your pet's pictures to kimstenbergart@gmail.com, I will make beautiful pet portraits out of them. How fun is that! Besides, my pet portraits make perfect birthday and Christmas presents. Thanks!
My readers, in case you didn't notice, I have created a new page on my blog, called "Pet Portrait Orders". You will find all the information you want to know about ordering a pet portrait. Please check it out.
Love all your pet paintings! Hope I can win the cupcake painting - it would look great in my new granddaughter's room!

ReplyDeleteI agree Rcken, that cupcake painting would make a great addition in a children's room. Or in a beautifully decorated kitchen! Not that I have one, but if I were to win, I'd certainly find a place for it. ;) Love your work. Any progress videos or anything in here for those wishing to be as great?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lui! Sorry, I don't have videos or in-progress pictures to share. As I photograph my paintings in natural light sometime between 7 and 8 am, it is impossible to take decent demo pictures with the same white balance. I've tried.
ReplyDeleteyour cupcake painting makes me hungry they are great, but your pet portraits show so much emotion, it is amazing you capture that from a painting, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI have loved every one of your pet paintings. They are all so precious. I wish people were as wonderful one another as dogs are to us. I am so thankful for our furry friends.
ReplyDeleteThank you, krazyquilt and Carol. Me too. Cats are beautiful, but my true love is for dogs. They trust you no matter what and always there for you.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comment about dogs always being there for you.
ReplyDeleteThis wonderful painting shows the love between the dogs too. my daughters nickname is Rainey...short for Lorraine. I must tell her to look at this one.
Thank you, Julie!
