Noah.

This is a commissioned portrait of a dog. The background uses a lot of gold and metallic paint, particularly in the under-painting stage, which doesn't really show well in this image.
You can read more about this little fellow here.

Emmet and Jenny.

This was a commissioned piece based on a few photographs and a request to put them together to show the small child and the dog looking out across the yard.
Obviously, the dog was not actually blue, but the client requested certain color elements and favored the bright, broad-stroked style of some of my other dog portraits.
Materials: Acrylic on heavy cotton rag paper
Size: approx. 22" X 40"

Cody and Elmo.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
My nephew Cody (who is now much, much older than he was when I drew this image) loved Elmo. This image is based on a photograph.
For his fourth birthday, I bought him a huge Elmo. My sister was worried that he'd be a bit frightened when he pulled the monstrous red thing from the box, but, as you see, he wasn't.
This image is a good example of what my take on commissioned work would look like.
Materials: Ink, watercolor and gesso on heavy paper
Size: approx. 22" X 40"
Other: Shipped without frame or mat, possibly rolled in a protective tube
Price: $75

Dog Portrait 1
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This is one of many dog portraits I've done over the years. I found this one more fun than most because the photos and images I was provided to work from showed a very lively dog. It was easy to give him personality and spunk through both the general layout and color choices. This painting now has a home somehwere in England.
Materials: Acrylic on BFK Rives paper
Size: 22" X 30"
Other: Custom Portrait
Price: SOLD
Labels: animals, commissioned, dogs, paintings, sold

Stubbins
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
My sister works at a vet clinic and so I often find myself doing animal portraits for clients and friends.
This portrait was of a cat named Stubbins who, though missing a tail, had one of the cutest faces I'd seen.
Cats are difficult for me to draw, though, because they don't always have the clearly delineated shape of other animals. They're soft and fuzzy and often end up looking like visual blobs if I'm not careful to really observe and understand the anatomy beneath all the fluff.
Materials: Graphite on paper
Size: 9" X 14"
Other: Custom Portrait
Price: SOLD
Labels: animals, cats, commissioned, drawings, sold
