Valentino with his Bone

My client commissioned this painting of Tino for a good friend. Poor Tino has cancer. The good news is we got the painting to her friend while Tino is still with us. I wish him a speedy recovery with the least amount of pain. Such a sweet dog.

The photograph I was given was Tino lying on the living room floor, so I made it more interesting by adding landscaping and some trees in the background to give it an outdoor feeling.

Max up in Doggie Heaven

Here is a Watercolor of Max, who sadly passed away and is now in Dog Heaven. His owner really misses him and wanted to capture his spirit in a custom painting. So here he is with his stripes.

Max, may you always have dogs to play with, toys and plenty of treats in Doggie Heaven :)
