A couple weeks ago I got to mail out a painting of Rocky the Boston Terrier. As soon as his package made it home in Moncton / New Brunswick, they let me know it arrived safe and also sent me some adorable pix of Rocky posing with his painting!! My favourite one shown above
For this piece we used my client’s favourite photo of her pup, showing him in a forest scene covered in leaves. In the original photo Rocky was wearing a harness/leash but we removed that in the painting, and she also asked that I include his name tag (from another pic). This was no problem of course, although I’ll admit the scale of doing the text that tiny was tricky lol! But I like those types of challenges. Here is a close up pic of the name tag detail (with finger to show scale):
Oh! And you know what else headed out with their package? A watercolour Pets-a-Sketch! She sent me two pix of Rocky to choose from, and while both were adorable I opted for the one of him wearing a frilly shirt of some kind. I’m a sucker for pets in clothes what can I say lol. You can take a peek at the finished drawing here:
