"Mary Jane," 6" square, acrylic on panel, commissioned pet portrait of a mixed breed dog, private collection (THANK YOU!). Inquiries (including booking your own pet portrait, from miniature size [4" x 4"] to larger than life) may always come to me.
Mary Jane is a Catahoula mix from an abusive environment - but she hit the jackpot when my client adopted her. She is a lovely merle, black, gray and tan with white toes, and has made fast friends with her "sister" Savannah (Savannah's portrait is here). It won't be long before MJ's gobbling up all the love and affection she can.
I'm still looking for rescue stories to include with the artwork headed to my solo exhibition at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. If you have one, please send it to me atksantini@turtledovedesigns.com . Thanks in advance!
Thanks, as always, for looking at - and sharing - my artwork and musings with your friends and family.

ReplyDeletethanks so much, Mary! :)
ReplyDeleteThe cocked head really gives her so much expression. And, as always, GREAT color. I think I need to get you to paint me some paper! Let's consider that for a moment. Hmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteI'm considering, and thinking that perhaps a trade is in order..... what say you? hmmmmmmm
