If you are in Winston-Salem, stop by with your pup for the reception on Gallery Hop night August 6th, 2010.  Christine will be taking reservations for photographic pet portraits and I will be there to discuss how to have a portrait done on canvas:

 

June 24, 2010

Very sad day today. Pepper, made his transition across Rainbow Bridge.

Pepper's "daddies" let me know and sent this photo in happier times along with a note.

"He was a very loving cat and brought love to many throughout his 21 years.

If I ever were to come back to this world as a “cat,”

I’d want to be just like him.

Rest in Peace.  June 24, 2010."

 Good journey, Pepper!

Pepper had the honor of being my first cat.  He taught me that you don't "pose" a cat. 

You follow him around until he lets you into his secret world.

As of June 2010, Pepper is no longer with us.  His portrait hangs as a reminder

of all the love he gave and received during his 21 years.

 

 

You have to love those labs and goldens.  Here are three pieces I've recently finished.

I introduce you to Bird Nest Adventures.

What better place to hang your pups' portrait than in the kitchen!  These IG Texans have the catbird seat in this lovely home.  I'm now working on their fabulous sister pup, Miss Haley the greyhound.  Here's a snap from the photo shoot.

 

 

This is the final.  24x48.  This is her sunning wall.

 

 

The photo session adventures continue!  Portraits are on their way!

 

 

These two Portuguese water dogs had no trouble posing.  Of course now that they have a White House legacy to live up to...no wonder!

Here is the final: 36x36

 

This is an example of the perfect hanging location for a whippetart portrait..
