Custom Pet Portraits - Mixed Media Photo Art


I love the face of the owner when I give them the finished portrait! It's always a huge smile. These pets are so adorable and have been a blast to work with, even if they are only digital images. Today I was featured on Rare Bird Finds. If you want more info on getting a custom portrait of your own. There is more info there.
The portraits are slightly different. This was for a Hawaiian themed room. I added a little flower for the theme.  The colors are chosen by the owners and the font portrays the personality of the pet. These all happen to be dogs, because up until now, that's all the requests have been, but that's not all I can do. Any pet will do!
Griffey passed away last year and this is an homage to him. He was an old guy and he had a mind of his own. He was very loved and he's obviously very missed. I really loved doing this portrait and wanted to make it just perfect.
Little painted details like swirls are fun to add as well. I use dots, so anything that can be done with dots is workable.
And of course I had to do Flick, my dog. He's got his ball here. He's a silly dog and full of energy as his picture and font depicts.

A Gift I want to Show off

Since my sister rarely goes to her Facebook, doesn't read Twitter, or my blog, I felt it safe to show off what I made her. Or actually her doggy. I have to say that because my sister doesn't want a gift for the holidays. So this is for her rescue Lab, Rupert. So for you Rupert. I feel even safer since I never see YOU on the computer. I used the same technique I do for my mixed media photo jewelry art pieces, but did it for a doggy and I love how it turned out. I hope Rupert likes it.
