Memories of Pets

Please go to my companion blog (https://memorializedpetportraits.blogspot.com/) to view portraits that I have done to memorialize our true friends and family members - our pets. I attempt to capture the spirit in each one, it is always in the eyes, they say. More than just a memory in a box of photographs, my joy is painting them in a more formal style and in oils that over the centuries have endured. If interested in your having own pet portrait please contact me at rlslportraits@gmail.com

"Robyn"

I met Robyn a couple of years ago and during casual conversation we discussed my artwork and she requested that I do a portrait of a photograph that she says is how she likes to be seen; pensive and at peace with everything.

"Owen"

Owen is the grandson to a very special lady in my life. He is about 16 months old in this watercolor painting.
