the Family Dog in the Portrait

The Family Dog is such an important member of the family that clients love to include them in portraits of the children!
I created this 30" x 40" oil on canvas for the family and Roxie, the yellow lab, was right in on the action! 
We delivered the framed portrait a few days before Christmas and other than the older son seeing the prints the children managed to keep quiet (amazing in itself) until Dad opened it on Christmas morning. Originally they were going to prepare a place to hang it but portraits such as these deserve to be in a place where they can be viewed daily! Mom emailed me with:
"HE LOVED IT! absolutely loved it.
kids were so excited to give it to him...
and i was right, he thinks we should hang it on a different wall than where i planned!
Thanks"~ Amy Walsh, Raleigh NC

Hi, probably our entry may be off topic but anyways, I have been surfing around your blog and it looks very professional. It’s obvious you know your topic and you appear fervent about it. I’m developing a fresh blog plus I’m struggling to make it look good, as well as offer the best quality content. I have learned much at your web site and also I anticipate alot more articles and will be coming back soon. Thanks you.
