A Pet Portrait ~ Dooley



A commissioned pet portrait of Dooley.


Dogs come into our lives and teach us about love and loyalty.

They are our companions and best friends.






This is Dooley. She was a joy for two special people who were happy to have her up until two weeks ago. She lived to be 14 years old.




This portrait was to be given as a surprise Christmas present, but since Dooley's passing just recently, it was given as an early present.



It was a joy and an honor to paint Dooley. I was very saddened by the news of her passing. I know sweet Dooley will live on in happy memories.

Your painting is wonderful...I can almost hear him bark. I am sure that his owners are thrilled to have such a lovely reminder of this little guy.
