I think this is my absolute favorite pet portrait that I’ve done.

I’m hoping to be painting more in the upcoming year, and will be sharing my work here.

This is Maggie. She belongs to Laura over at Shorehouse Chic. I did a giveaway back in June for a 5×7 pet portrait and Laura was the winner. I’m embarrassed at how long it took me to finish this portrait, but I did have a baby in August. It’s still really bad though! I’m sorry Laura! I hope it was worth the wait.
