How lucky we are to be on the receiving end of the unconditional love of our pets! And isn’t it great that they, too can be eternalized in an original oil painting. Here are two samples of detailed “Realism” oil paintings that I created from photographs. Millie the Dog and Rama the Cat are both painted just a tad below life size. Notice the colors of Rama’s eyes – one is greener than the other, which is due to how the light hit Rama when this picture was taken. Other unusual colors can be detected in Rama’s portrait. And Millie’s face shows us she’s a real sweetheart!
