Pet portrait

This is an example of my pet portraits. This horse died in her 20s soon after I painted this. I made sure to do the detail of the barn as the owner had built the barn and plained the wood. the brand is the horse's name.

I chose this pose because of the interesting fence and lighting for this pre-teen portrait. She is the daughter of my framers and they have been a huge help along my career. They matted and framed this to go with the unusual amber color paper I used.

16x20 original

I normally don't do two portraits the same. But I had finished two cute portraits of brothers with bandanas and hats and later needed Christmas gifts of my nephews that live in Texas on a ranch. I took photos I already had of my newphews and added the elements of the hat and kercheif from the photos of the other boys and they looked perfect for their Texas home.
