T
his is Ronan, a Shiba Inu. He's such a beautiful dog! I'm very excited to
get the chance to create his portrait. Anne from San Francisco is surprising
her special friend James for christmas with this portrait of his dog!
This portrait is in pastel & colored pencil at a size of 12" x 16".


This is the photo of Ronan that I
had picked to be my reference photo.

Step 5...almost done!

Martina, I went to your website this morning and I must say that I absolutely love Ronan's portrait!!! It is gorgeous! You have really captured his face, spirit, good looks, etc. :-) I can hardly wait to see the finished work product. You have such exceptional talent!!! I've seen many artists portraits of various pets, but no one who is as talented as you! I am so glad I found you :-)

"Martina, I just wanted to let you know that your portrait of Ronan makes me smile every time I look at it!
And, I've been looking at it all morning long
!"


 



Finished!

Good Morning Ms. Incredible Pet Portrait Artist !
I continue to be amazed at your skills! I saw the portrait of Ronan this morning, and it is so life-like that both Lindy and I felt that we wanted to reach out and pet it! You have captured the essence of Ronan. I'm not sure that I'll be able to wait to see the final product on Saturday; I am so excited!          Anne

This is the best part, the moment I get to deliver the finished portrait to the
customer. Anne was sooooo excited and I am so glad that I got to actually be
there in person to see her reaction when she saw the portrait of Ronan for the
very first time! It actually brought a tear to her eye!
Hey James...Anne must think your'e a pretty special guy! ;-)
Merry Christmas!
