Being a animal lover I love seeing pets on blogs who are adored by their owners... In December I thought I'd try painting a few to see if maybe I might like to do pet portraits... I don't!!
But thought you might like to see the ones I finished with the photos I worked with... On top is Pat Winter's Angell. I had to combine 2 photos to get the whole head. What a sweetie!
Next is Cathy Kizerian's cat "Boomer" whom I met in person last winter. Lots of personality this one....
Last is "Brat" a beloved cat recently lost by Nicki. Painting a dog or cat is not a problem but trying to capture that animal's personality is..
Now that I've all that behind me I am stitching , stitching, and stitching...
Don't neglect to check out all the new buttons I uploaded onto my Etsy... now that it is all spiffed up!!
Well, I recognized the top two immediately! I think your buttons are fab and they will too.
ReplyDeleteBoomer and I adore his button portrait! :-) Thank you so much for doing it. I know Pat and Nicki Lee will also treasure these buttons! Big hugs, Cathy
ReplyDeleteWow Gerry, you never cease to amaze me! These are precious, and their owners must be thrilled you did this for them! Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteGerry these are adorable! What a beautiful job!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG! What a wonderful surprise! I was just reading about your buttons on Pat's Blog so had to come right over to see what you were up to! OH my precious Brat! Thank you so much Gerry - she is just gorgeous as are Cathy and Pat's furbabies.
ReplyDeleteGerry these animal buttons are so realistic they look like pictures you have taken and glued on the buttons. You are one talented lady.

What CAN'T you do!!!! These are BEYOND fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAlways beautiful Gerry! Always!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! You are very good, even if you don't like to do it.
ReplyDeleteI love the pet portraits, but I can imagine why they'd be terribly difficult to do.
ReplyDeleteYour name badge is now perfect. I agree about the black ribbon; the pink is much better!
