Whippet portrait in oil

Here is my latest oil portrait of the handsome CH Bohem Just In Time, or Justin. What a gorgeous face he has. His owner Nancy is thrilled with the painting and will be using the image for some advertising as well as hanging the actual painting in a special place in her home. The painting is 14 x 18" on linen canvas.

My newest project that I am working on is a very large painting of 4 greyhounds that will hang in the new section of the School of Veterinary Medicine in Raleigh. Watch here for updates on the project.

Where does the time go???

I have been working, really, really.... but I haven't posted for a bit so here are a few recent pieces.

At the top, an oil on canvas, 18" x 24" titled Olde Towne Window

Next a just finished commission watercolor portrait of four beautiful Rhodesian Ridgebacks

And last a custom logo

I am offering a CHRISTMAS MINI PET PORTRAIT as a SPECIAL for 2009 and can take orders now. This is a great price for something original and unique for those special people on your Christmas list. I will do a 5 x 7 watercolor head portrait for only $75. You just need to supply me with a good photograph and I will take it from there. Shipping is included in the price.... isn't that easy? I know most of you readers are familiar with my work and the pride I take in getting the likeness and spirit of your animal. You can check out samples of my watercolors elsewhere on this blog and on my dog art website at www.yvonnesovereign.com Because of the low price I am offering for this year's special, all of the mini portraits must be paid for in advance.
