 Dog Portraits

Illustrations Commissions
Welcome Real Simple readers ! I am thrilled to have my dog portraits included in March issue of Real Simple magazine.

It all began with a Boston Terrier named Hugo. There he was, wrinkly faced and snorting, in the second stall at the Bellevue Washington Humane Society. The minute I saw him, my canine infatuation began, and soon I started painting dogs.

As a self-taught painter, I follow my own color sense and composition to create my "nose first" close-up portraits.

I invite you to follow my blog documenting Witness, my 2012 Painting Project remembering the Pit Bulls who did not make it out of the shelters here They are more than a number or a statistic. I paint their portraits to put a face on this shame.
