Pet Portrait Collection

I'd post today's painting, but it was a miserable failure, best burned.  We'll try again tomorrow.  Anyway, this is more fun:   Check out the pictures above!  Most of the pet portraits I paint immediately disappear into the grateful hands of collectors never to be seen again.  What a delight when Mary Frances of San Antonio, TX emailed me a picture of her collection of pet portraits and a picture of the portrait I did of her beagle, Annie in it's new frame!  Her impressive collection includes paintings by Virginia Vaughan, Elizabeth Fraser and Karen Winters!  I am honored to be part of it, thank you for sharing, Mary Frances!!

    This was so fun to see and yes, wonderful of Diane to share for us all to see. What a wonderful idea for Mary Frances to do. I would say you all are in good company there at the art kennel on the wall:)

    That little Beagle has so much personality! He looks so great framed and is a real standout in the grouping. Beautiful work, Diane!

    Hi Laine! No idea! I've seen those real thick mats before, they look great. Thanks for stopping by.
