Above are a pair of painted portraits I made of two of my beloved pets who passed away last year. Kaiser (the chihuahua) was my amigito favorito and he never let me down. Bruce (the cat) was my kitty during my college days in Santa Barbara. His portrait, if you scroll down, you'll see is based off an earlier piece I made of him using photoshop. I couldn't resist doing it on canvas though, the crown and his stripes looked like a lot of fun. They were. Both are water based acrylics on regular white canvas. I'm currently working on a third pet portrait in the same vain of my current cat, Coco.
