Pede 12 x 12 inch acrylic on canvas© 2010 Kathleen Coy
Pede's portrait is finished and I'm very happy with how it turned out. Pede is getting up there in years, and is dearly loved by her family in Australia. I wanted to capture her dignity, devotion, and gentle nature.
I made a short video of the progress, from start to finish. In it, you can see the photo I worked from, the concept sketch, and a few studio shots. I hope you like it:
Dogs give us so much, and ask for so little in return. It's truly a labor of love to paint them - it's my way of giving something back. I think every dog deserves a portrait, but of course that's just my opinion.
And as always, if you're interested in a portrait of your pet, you can find information here. Feel free to email me with any questions.
Much love,

Yes, every dog (and cat) deserves a portrait!
