Tulip and Lily
9 x 12
I got a pet portrait commission from a friend in California—Tulip and Lily these cute Boston Terriors. I decided to get the oils out for this one. I am not really thrilled with this so I may need to wipe it down and start over again. It isn't easy to do commissions. You never know what they may want, especially if you don't do them very often.

Sophie
6 x6 oil on masonite
I hate waste paint so I used the extra to do a quick study of Sophie as she sat by the fire on a cold evening here in Maine.
Dayu
6 x 6 oil on masonite
With more leftover paint I did a portrait of a friend in Bali.

What wonderful work! I especially like Sophie. You certainly made the most of your paints.
I can only imagine the difficulties of commission work. I love the portraits of Sophie and Dayu.
I think they're adorable, and I'm not a fan of pet portraits in general.
I think you can only paint in your own style, I like you painting of sophie particularly.
I love your portrait of Sophie. You've depicted her many times and I think this my favorite of all your paintings.
These are awesome, Jennifer! I imagine they'll be very pleased. You captured personalities of these cuties here.
these are all so beautiful! No wasted paint there!
Love the dogs! I wouldn't wipe it out at all. It's great! If they don't like it, do another, but keep this.
