Last Sneak Peek of the Year.

Posted in Dogs by Martha Perkins

I just got the last 2 portraits that are to be given as Christmas gifts out the door.

C eye B eye

Just one more week and I will unveil all the portraits I have made over the last few months in full. It’ll be a dog party…A big dog party! Big dogs, little dogs, black and white dogs, all at a dog party! What a dog party! (I’ve read Dr Suess’s “Go Dog Go” to my kids enough to make me slightly insane.)

This will probably be my last post until after Christmas, so to those of you who have found me here, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! If you have a drink in your hand, Cheers! If you don’t, what are you waiting for!!

Getting ready to frame this portrait of Dylan, the cutest corgi puppy ever!

But then all corgi puppies are cute aren’t they?

Meet Daisy, my new favorite.

The photo and the painting.

It’s interesting that each new portrait becomes my new favorite. I wonder how long it will keep up. Seriously, look at that smiling face, how can I not love her?

Latest and Greatest.

Posted in Cats by Martha Perkins

Even pets that have passed make wonderful portraits. This is a photo of O.

I was commissioned to paint O’s portrait as a gift for someone who loved her and lost her. Now her owner will have this beautiful reminder of their time together.

I truly feel very lucky to be a part of this.

This completes portrait number 4 and I have 5 waiting in the wings. Turns out this party may just keep on rocking. Whoop!

Let’s get this party started!

Looks like the pet portrait business is off to a strong start out of the gates. Here are the current completed pieces and the photographs that the owners emailed to me to use for the portraits.
