Yugi and Stella's Portrait

I received an adorable picture to work from.

After a bit of a flip, it made a much better composition.

The final 24x36 painting was practically life size for the duo.

Margaret the Rat Terrier's Portrait

My What Big Ears Margaret Has!

I had a week to create the perfect portrait of Margaret as a present for her Dad (from her Mom.)  Her mom liked a straight on portrait, but didn't have a picture quite like that.  So, I worked with her like a police sketch artist, to capture Margaret's puppy dog eyes and adorable ears.

(Also my sister's name is Margaret, so this was a hoot!)
