Effee : Greyhound Portrait Completed

Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint,
and the soil and sky as canvas.

Effee : Greyhound Portrait Completed

November

2009

greyhound oil painting memorial portrait by Leanne Wildermuth

I’ve just completed this gorgeous memorial portrait of Effee, a very sweet greyhound who is unfortunately no longer with us.

(update: swapped out images for a daylight photo.)

My schedule got a little wonky there and I lost some time so I’m a little bit behind but working steadily to get caught up again! I still have a week or so available before Christmas so if you’re wanting to gift a portrait to a friend or family member, please do get in touch (use my contact form or quote request form in the menu above), I’d love to paint for you!

Nice, those dogs are really gentle beauties. I knew a lady once who did Whippet and Greyhound rescues… full of beautiful spirits those dogs.

This is officially my favorite dog portrait. Of all the dogs you’ve given a new life on canvas, Effee is the best. Most moving.

This is the life ALL greyhounds should live. It warms my heart beyond words to see this gentle, loving creature looking so peaceful. Leanne, sometimes a portrait will speak louder than others and this one truly touched my heart in a big way. A beautiful, beautiful portrait.

My husband gave me Effee’s portrait for Christmas. It is absolutely stunning and I couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful gift. It is now placed near her ashes.

Leanne – you are the most amazing artist and the serenity that you captured while Effee was sleeping is wonderful.
