This pet portrait is entitled “Arlo, Buster and Penny at Blue Ridge Shores” and is my most recently completed portrait. It was commissioned by Leslee and Dan Kelly to commemorate their three beloved pups who have passed over the Rainbow Bridge. In life these pups never knew each other, but each in their time was a precious companion to the Kellys. This painting was a challenge to me because I had to meld together different photographs to create a scene in which all the personalities coexist in time and space: Penny, the farthest back, loved her ball; Buster, in the middle, loved his frisbee; and Arlo, in front, loved to ride on the boat. Plus, there was the personality of the boat, and the personality of the shore!! Here are some of the photos I had to work with:
The bottom line is that there was a happy ending. The Kellys
both told me they loved the pet portrait, and that the painting was exactly
what they were hoping for! And that makes me happy!
