A few years ago, a special family friend passed away. That friend was furry and had four legs but was deeply missed. Immediately, the idea to try and forever capture his essence in a portrait came to mind. Since then, it has been a rewarding experience to combine a love of dogs and a love of painting.

These portraits are hand painted in oils (many people scan pictures, put a digital filter on it and print it directly on canvas—this is not the case here).  This is your best friend captured in an actual oil painting.

This slide show contains a few samples of my dog portraits. I hope you enjoy viewing them, feel free to vote for your favorite or contact me about them.
