Roscoe

 

Periodically, I draw pet portraits as commissions. I created this one of Roscoe, who recently passed over the rainbow bridge. As his family mourns his passing, they wanted a depiction of Roscoe in his favorite field, overlooking the Hudson Valley countryside.

Lloyd

 

Here’s a pet portrait commission I drew for friends who recently lost their sweet dog, Lloyd. He loved playing outdoors, and this is a depiction of him as a puppy.

I haven't created a pet portrait in ages, but this cute fella is Charlie, drawn for a client in NYC.

Labrador State of Mind

I drew this Labrador Retriever on a 1914 map of Labrador and Newfoundland. It measures 24" by 21". Please check out this collection of map drawings on my new site!

Here's a piece for Organic Gardening, about herbal pet cures. The article highlights various remedies for treating your pet's ailments - all made with herbs from your garden. My dog Lily could certainly benefit from treatments in this story. I'll post a link soon. Below are ideas I submitted...
