Canine Artwork

by Sidney Eileen | Pet Portraits | Donation Commission - March of Dimes

Colored pencil on black paper, 9"x12".
Photo referenced pet portrait.
~6 hours of work

I never have gotten the name of the dog, but it's a beautiful terrier. I was given a large number of very good photos to reference, but chose the head shot due to the small size of the paper.

This is a donation commission for the March of Dimes last spring in a silent auction. The individual who won the commission sent me photos late last November, and any of you who have followed my account for a while know I have not submitted any art in the time since then. This has been sitting around waiting to be drawn for so long that I felt it was only right to finish it before moving on to other art pieces begging to be created and finished.

Anyway, enjoy. I'm hoping to make time for one or two art sessions per week during the next couple months. So, here's to hoping.

 I just love love using dogs as subjects.

this is a 2"x3" watercolor painting of my youngest dobe, jagr (yah-grr).
i'm kind of annoyed by where i put my signature, but oh, well..

first time i've ever painted one of my own dogs. :)

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels with teddy bears. These pins are hand-sculpted out of polymer, painted, and glazed.

Hi everyone.  I have been waiting to introduce myself for a little while because I wanted to be able to participate a bit.  My Claudia, mommy to 2 Poms 2 kids and 1 husband.  lol  I have always enjoyed all forms of art and this is s great group to combine two of my favorite interests.  I had my parents email me a picture of a watercolor I painted a few years ago after their chihuahua Bandit passed away. I thought you would enjoy it.  I thought it came out good for a first amateur attempt. I'd love any feedback from s more experienced water colorist.  I look forward to participating! Hugs C

I just joined, and thought that I should introduce myself. :)

My name is Molly, I love dogs, and I have a beagle named Daisy.

From what I've seen of this community so far, it looks really great, and I can't wait to start posting some of my own art!! :D

A custom-made pendant of Luther the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, with a hereford cow. Cardigans originally were bred as cattle herders so I thought this would be a very fitting design.

This is a painting I did of my German Shepherd about a year ago. It's acrylic paint on canvas.

Colored pencils on toned canson paper.
Colors look a little off here.

I've done quite a few brindle dogs. They're a challenge, but at least I've had practice?

I'm open for pet portrait commissions...if anyone happens to be interested.

Hahaha had to share these pics of Lucy in the bandanas! The expressions on her face crack me up!
