Sorry I'm late to blog.  Actually I haven' kept up  on my blogging lately but I will try and get my Nibblefest entries blogged each month.  This months theme is "Animals in Hats".  My entry is a beautiful white cat in Victorian dress and a green hat sitting in a red chair.  Inspired by the painting , "Portrait, Princess di Saint" by Francesco Hayez (1840) .

Day 5 of 30/30 painting challenge! Custom pet portrait

My 5th painting in the 30 in 30 painting challenge is a custom pet portrait of  Amber the chihuahua.   This was a fun one I adored painting her in her little Christmas sweater!  Ok. It makes me want to paint animals in clothes now! haha!


I am accepting custom pet paintings that would be entered into the 30 in 30 challenge. My plan for this challenge is Polish pottery still life's  (of course), nature paintings, landscapes and pet portraits.  I really enjoy painting animals.  


I am doing special pricing for this painting challenge.  Less than my commission price as these are painted in one day..  Start to finish!  If you are interested in getting your pet entered. I need a reference photo where I can see their face of your cat, dog or maybe you have a bird..  any animal really.     I am not painting larger than 6x8" in size due to it being a daily challenge.   I have limited availablilty so if you are interested. Contact me :)  

I have a custom pet portait  listing on Etsy HERE  for sizing and prices for this challenge.   I will renew the listing as I fill up.

Face 23 Maine coon cat portrait Feb 23, 2013

Face 23 is my Maine coon mix cat, Simon.  I adopted him and his brother in 2009. I love this laid back breed. Simon is one cool cat.  He's always at the pantry begging for treats and will roll on his back to have his belly rubbed just like a dog! LOL... He's great!

Face 8, Feb 8th, 2013

For the 8th face in the 29 Faces Challenge.  I decided to paint a portrait of my cat, Milton.  I took this photo with my cell phone and thought it was a purrfect photo to paint from.   Milton is a maine coone mix with tuxedo.  Very sweet.. I adopted him in 2009 from a rescue group with his brother Simon.  

I really enjoyed seeing Milton come to life in this painting!
