      I have been busy these past few days painting commissioned dog portraits trying to get them finished to give as Christmas gifts. Some come with very sad stories. I am glad I am able to give them a gift that will remind them of their furry loved one forever. I love that the clients tell me the stories of each pet as well as their owners. It helps with the painting. This is Tony. No sad story here. This will be given as a Birthday gift. I am glad I was able to finish it in such a short time. www.melissaatorresart Follow me on  Facebook .

Sold Pet Portrait Oil on Canvas Sunny Kay Marler Medium

"Wiggles" is painted in oils on an 11" x 14" Masonite board. This was a challenge, as I have never met Wiggles in person, and had to use email photos. The owners are thrilled, especially noting that I painted the "marking" inside her left ear. I almost omitted that, thinking viewers might portray it as a mistake of some sort- glad I went with what I could see!

"Hey Handsome..." 11 x 14" Oil SOLD This is a contemporary painting of a  French Bull dog with a beautiful disposition. The painting was a commission which was one of two for a canine physical therapist. His owner had trained him to sit patiently while I gathered photos for a composite. I usually study at least 5-6 photos to find the composite personality. His owner was very well pleased at the results in the painting.  I am now available for new commissions on your beloved pets. I may be reached here or through my website: www.vonniekohn.com   Thank you for looking.

The Stare 6 x 6 Acrylic on Panel my blog my website This little girl had such a great expression as we drove around looking at all the beautiful Christmas decorations the other night.  I just had to paint her, especially those eyes!  I want to believe she was thinking, "What happened to these yards and houses?  What is going on with all these colors, lights, strange looking frozen/plastic people sitting in the yard, big dogs with sticks on their heads, even a baby sleeping in a pile of  grass!   Oh my, what is going on! Something Exciting!  My neighbors are even being nice to me!" How do you explain Christmas to a little girl like her? I can say it is a very special day, a birthday celebration for someone. Maybe I will explain more in another post... I have been away from this blog and have missed visiting but when Christmas is over I will share some of the paintings I have been commissioned to create for Christmas presents. I don't dare sha...

"Wisdom" 6 x 6 Acrylic on Panel my blog my website This girl has seen many things in her great lifetime, especially living with her furry brothers and sister. She is the "BIG" girl but yet more of a lapdog and gentle spirit than one would assume with her size. Don't you wonder what she is thinking? One of her brothers in particular is a little "terror" racing non stop all day, while she sits back and watches... So fun to observe the different personalities among the various sizes and ages! I am still working with the extreme close ups, which of course does require luck in capturing the eyes open and in light enough to see...Not always easy! Each photo session  has it's challenges. I am always surprised at how the photo looks...several layers of color are not as easy to see on here. There are several color transitions under the nose at least. Yes, I enjoy color, it's the element of design I love the most! Thank you for visitin...
