Pet Portraits

 (photo taken by Shane Dunlap)

Christmas is coming up, and what better gifts than original fine art of a furry friend!

"Petey" 
A wonderful old Beagle, whom I met at Bow-Wow 
and shortly passed  away after I began working there 
at a good old age of 15!




"Milo and Gus-Gus"
These Pugs are a couple of interesting characters, here
Milo (black) is sitting on Gus-Gus and smashing him up against a wall.




"Maggie Smith"
This silver mini Schnauzer is a delight and will stare at you
exactly like this from across the room. Who knows
what she's thinking about you.




"Tyson"
This Black Boxer is perhaps one of my favorites. I sketched
this during an afternoon from a photo on my cell phone. Seemingly
always tired, he is also crazy.




"Huckleberry and Boof"
These two crazy cats once blocked off the bedroom their owners
were sleeping in so my dog could not come in. Fearless
wild, domesticated kitties. I drew this for the owners wedding.




"Family Portrait"

It's just like me to not get a decent picture of a drawing before I hand it off...

This was a commission from a Bow-Wow client, for their wedding day.
Their guests will sign the mat with love and best wishes for the newlyweds.
Congratulations to Jenn and Angela!
(Also to Morgan and Heinz, the pups!)
