Nelson




I was recently commissioned to do a painting of this beautiful Lab/Border Collie. His name is Nelson.

He's such a handsome boy, don't you think? And I was told he loves the great outdoors. I'm not surprised. Nelson looks like the outdoor type.

Nelson was so much fun to paint. I think he has the most adorable face, and those big brown eyes, Love them!


If you would like a portrait of your pet, please, just email me!

You did a wonderful job of painting Nelson...You really capture the essence of these animals you paint.
I would love for you to paint my cat, Simon and my dog, Daisy but Daisy's hair needs to grow alittle first....
Hugs and Blessings,
