Portrait of an Afghan Hound

I will soon have a new category on my website called Pet Portraits featuring some of the custom canvases of dogs and horses I am painting for clients.  I love painting animals and capturing their personalities on canvas.  The expression in their eyes are so important.  I am happy to work from photographs taken by my customers but, I am also willing to photograph the pets myself if they are located on Long Island.  While working from these photos, I can alter the background or create a new setting for the portrait if one is needed. This portrait of an Afghan hound was painted from a photo taken of the dog next to the coast of the Long Island Sound which is just a block away from where the pet owner lives.  It was painted on a 22"x 24" canvas so it could be hung above the living room mantle.
