This season went incredibly well in the Pet Portrait order department! I’m never quite sure what to expect as my order deadline is in the first week of November, but I had a wonderful response and was so excited to work on these portraits for everyone!
It has been very busy in the Millar residence, mixing in some birthday gifts and Custom Art commissions here and there on top of Xmas orders… but of course, I’m not even close to complaining! It’s been super awesome.
Anyway, I’ve been dying to post the pix for you all to see what I’ve been up to! Here are some snaps from along the way:
Here are some of the canvases in the very beginning stages, all sketched up and ready for paint!
Progress shot of some of the canvases gathered together about half way through.
‘Charlie’s Eye’ in progress… my hubby snapped this over my shoulder haha
New gift certificate style added in the mix too! I’m like a kid in a candy store when it comes to stationary/art supply stores… I’m a dork lol
Adding the final touches to adorable ‘Caramel’! Was my first bunny commission to date, was super fun to work on.
Wrapping is always a fun part of the process too!
I just wanted to wish everyone a safe & Merry Christmas, and an awesome 2013!! Enjoy your day, and best wishes for the rest of the holidays & the coming year.

Take care!
