| "Sadie" | 6" x 6" | Acrylic on Canvas | Private Collection |
This is my latest pet portrait commission. It was an anniversary gift from a really thoughtful man to his wife. Sadie is a Lop Eared Rabbit who has been a beloved pet of theirs for all of her six years of life. What a lovable little face. She was an incredibly fun subject to paint. It just shows how much we love our little animals who make us laugh and love us no matter what life brings to the day. There is nothing like that kind of unconditional love. We're as lucky to have them as they are to have us.
This is another example of my small 6" square "Head Shot" pet portraits. They come framed in a choice of finishes in floater frames. These frames give the illusion that the canvas is floating inside the frame. It's a nice clean way to display the portraits. The sides of the canvas and frame are 1 1/2" deep so that they can sit on a shelf or table or hung on the wall.
In November I will be teaching a class at the ArcWorks Community Art Center on Foster Street in Peabody. It will be a class for children running for about four sessions. I'll be teaching them them how to create pet portraits from photographs. If you know any children who may be interested, check the ArcWorks website or contact me for more information. I will write up more information on it as soon as it's available.
