i heart pets

i had a couple of pet portrait orders over the past few months. this first one was actually a gift from one of my friends to a musician that i totally enjoy listening to. it's crazy to think this is hanging in his house right now!

and here's a cat.

and the time has come, PET PORTRAITS!

i finally listed my first custom pet portrait! i am very excited and nervous at the same time. i'm always really critical, but people seem to love them, so here goes...

here are some examples

this one is actually the first one i ever painted, of mozzie of course.


and our punch.


and our friend melissa's cat, santucci.

pet portrait gift and eco wrapping

i painted my friends beloved cat santucci for a bridal shower gift. she is a photographer (melissahassey.com) and so i got the photo of their cat off of her website.

i will soon be listing pet portraits in my etsy shop. i am trying to figure out all the the details at the moment (shipping, wait time, cost, etc...) if you're interested and too impatient for a listing, you can drop me an e-mail at brandiadoff(at)gmail(dot)com.

i couldn't figure out how to wrap it so that it would be obviously fragile (it was a still little wet, oops, i didn't start it soon enough). the tissue paper wasn't big enough so i wrapped it in a table runner from my store and some ribbon and voila... a perfect gift wrap, which in itself is also a gift.

arthur, clark and stella

a friend asked me to paint a couple of pet portraits of their two dogs and cat for his wife's birthday. i was honored. here they are...
arthur the cat
