    yellow lab custom oil pet portrait painting fine art work in progress

    I’m working on Katie’s portrait now, starting with the most detailed areas (as usual). Her eye, nose and mouth (tongue!) are moving right along, I’ll have her ears and the rest of her coat and collar blocked in and the entire underpainting ready for the next layer over the weekend.

    I’ve just completed Elsie’s portrait, although she’s not *officially* done until her mom gives me the thumbs up. Once she loves her painting, I’ll give it a day or two to dry and scan the final detail shots before she heads home.

    It’s not a mistake – she’s upside down! I thought you might like to see how I painted today. It’s never as straightforward as it seems. I’ll turn the painting around in circles as I paint so that I’m pulling my “fur” brush (a long liner) toward me.

    Her ears, forehead, eyes and nose are complete. I’ll finish her portrait tomorrow and show her to you again right-side-up.

    I’m been working my wrist off in the studio this week! Elsie’s underpainting is complete now, and once this layer is dry I’ll start the next layer which will be painted wet-in-wet. She may get one more coat after the next one, to finish up her whiskers.

    custom original kitten portrait painting fine art oil

    Cheeky’s portrait is done, cute little silvery baby reminds me of a persian – that soft fluffy fur and those gorgeous baby gray/green eyes. I’ll scan and post the final painting (along with the others I completed this week) when (they’re all) dry.

    Willie’s portrait is complete (8×8 oil on canvas panel), he’s a gorgeous longhaired tuxedo – his eyes are stunning on this background. I’ll scan this painting when it’s dry and you’ll really be able to see his furry little details.

    Very productive day in the studio, Guildenstern and Jean are both complete now as well, so all four Lovebird portraits are finished! I’ll scan them and show you details as soon as they’re dry.

    lovebird portrait paintings male bird custom oil art
    I finished two of the four Lovebird portraits yesterday, Rosencrantz and Lionel. Much of the detail is lost in the digital photo, especially with the rosy plumage in their faces. Hopefully their eyes dry a little faster this time, they took several days to dry after that first layer. I don’t think I can wait that long to scan them, and I’m not sure my client can wait that long to receive them!

    I’ll finish up the other two gals today.
