Sophie – Shih Tzu Portrait painting

Michelle — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 06:57:40 +0000

Sophie is a gorgeous Shih Tzu puppy that I had the opportunity to photograph several years ago. Sophie’s all grown up now, so taking a trip back in time to capture her cheeky puppy personality in this painting was alot of fun!

Shih Tzu’s are an intelligent, active toy breed whose ancestry is rather obscure. Believed to have originated in Tibet, they are the oldest and smallest of the Tibetan ‘holy dog’ breeds. The breed is known for their naturally long, flowing coat, however, they do require a lot of grooming and care, so many pet Shih Tzu’s choose to have their coats clipped short for easy care.

Newfoundland pup in pastels | Pet Portrait Artist

Michelle — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 01:57:30 +0000

“Rainbows and Sunshine”, what else could I call this fun filled colourful pastel painting of a black Newfoundland puppy? I really enjoyed painting this one, I really wanted to loosen up, and convey the personality without much detail, so I actually used a very bad reference photo that I had taken at a dog show. (At the time I was disappointed that the photo was so bad, but the resulting painting is worth it I think:)

Painting realistic pet portraits means that I don’t usually get to splash around with lots of colour, so that was the main aim with this one – plus to capture the late afternoon sunlight and the glorious colours in his fur without using black!
