Katie : Completed Dog Portrait

February

custom yellow lab dog portrait original oil painting work in progress art leanne wildermuth

I just completed Katie’s portrait. I tell you what, I think I’ll cough up a furball later on today. Between the feathers and all the fur that’s been flying in my studio lately, I’m surprised I haven’t already!

I did a pretty darn good color match (on my monitor, at least) of her portrait. I’m excited to scan her and show you her teeth, and nose – and eye! Details on her painting – this is a custom oil painting (of course) of my clients sweet yellow lab on a 12×16 stretched canvas. (I photographed her for her portrait, as well.)

She’s a pretty girl. I’ll post those final scan detail shots when she’s dry. Until then – enjoy!

This looks like you did a background painting, cut it out in a dog shape and put it behind her head! I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a more lifelike painting – or photo, for that matter! What talent! :cheerful:
