Some pet portraits incorporate both the owner’s needs and the dog’s personality. When I was commissioned to do the painting of the puggle in the yellow flowers we talked about many different aspects that we could add to the painting. The puggle loved lying in the flower bed and also like chewing on rocks, sticks and pinecones. This was a painting for her husband and the husband loved his dog but also was a big motorcycle enthusiast so I was able to find a way of adding all of these elements to create a painting that fit the dog and the owner.
