Pets
I love animals and am inspired to paint them to honour their uniqueness and provide lasting treasures for their human friends. I enjoy incorporating different aspects of these little critters lives. Many paintings have been compiled by using multiple photos of the pet to achieve the best poses and backgrounds for the painting.
