Last weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to spend the morning with beautiful Raven and Oscar.
Having just completed their hand painted pop art portrait, I asked their lovely mum Sam if I could drop by to deliver her artwork, as they live near me. My paintings travel all over the world and interstate to their homes so it’s actually rare that I meet the pups I paint in person. A big thank you to Sam for commissioning their portrait and welcoming me into your home for a visit.
To create a pet portrait I dedicate so much time to looking at your pup’s photos, getting to know their personality and painting their every detail. When the portrait is complete, I feel like I know each pup already even if I never get to meet them. It’s really something special to then meet them in person and realise I’ve captured their spirit and personality perfectly.
Full of energy I was greeted by bouncy Raven who managed to give me a kiss on the cheek while I was standing up! Oscar is a super soft cuddly cloud and a little less energetic than his sister, but so happy to accept much patting. Both super happy pups who live a life of luxury with heaps of room to play.
Plus I found out Oscar is an artist too – such an honour to have my painting hanging beside his paw print masterpiece.
A beautiful family who I’m very grateful to work with on this portrait. I hope it brings many smiles just like Raven and Oscar and their playful antics, which you can check out on their Instagram too – @batmantha_x.
