BEST FRIENDS

16x20 oil on canvas sold

Here is one of my latest portrait commissions. Best Friends posed its own set of challenges, I had to balance these bright blue eyes, strawberry red hair, pale skin, and a very, very black dog or in this case, best friend. Take care and enjoy this wonderful fall weather wherever you might be!

Angela, this is absolutely gorgeous! I know this little guy's parents will always treasure this portrait, as will he as he grows up. I just love red heads! He's a cutie!

A challenge you undertook, conquered and excelled! What happy friends they are and I'm sure the client will be over the moon.
