Tripp

 Australian Shepherds are a medium sized herding breed known for their colorful coats, intelligence, and friendly personality.  Tripp is so pretty!

Charley

Charley is moving with his owners to our neighborhood soon.  He will get to meet his new dog friends, Coco and Rose.  We think he will enjoy the walking trail around the pond in front of his house.  Welcome to Legacy, Charley!

Auden and Langston

These dog brothers have the same parents, but came from different litters.  They live in California.    They were ring bearers in their master's wedding!

Bruiser

 Bruiser is a beloved pet and life companion to his owners.  

As I paint commissions, I send progress images to my client so that they can help me by critiquing to produce the portrait they desire.  Bruiser's owners sent me a lovely thank you, along with this timeline photo collection of the individual images I sent as I was painting.  We thought you might enjoy seeing how his painting progressed in my studio.  On the left is the original photo my client provided, then the progression from drawing to completed painting.  Thank you. Jim!

Lucky

I have been busy this fall painting commissions of children and pets for Christmas.  I appreciate my clients allowing me to paint their precious family members.  I am sad to say that Lucky died recently.  I hope that this portrait will bring back loving memories for her owners.

Belle

Belle is a four month old Red Golden Retriever.  I was privileged to paint Ellie, another dog in her new family, last year,  They are beloved pets, the subjects of oil dog portraits in their owners' art collection.

Jake

Jake holds a special place in the hearts of his owners.  His "Dad" commissioned me to paint him as a special gift for his "Mom" for Christmas.  Below is my photo reference for this portrait.  This is Jake's begging pose.  Who could resist giving this cutie pie treats!

Holidays Are Around the Corner

It may be hard to think about holiday gift giving with temperatures still soaring.  But, as you know good art takes time to create!  I am now accepting commission requests for Christmas delivery.

You supply the photo references and I will paint the portrait of your beloved pet.  Pricing starts at $195 and varies depending on size and format.  One of my most popular requests is for a 12 x 12 gallery wrapped canvas at $350.

Please contact me at bkc681@charter.net or 334 524-7514.  Below are some samples of my dog portraits from happy customers.
