I wanted to let you know that the painting reached my mother safe, and she
says it rocks! She's framing it for us, and I can't wait to see it. Just wanted to let you know it got there safe and sound...I'll send one more mail when we get it from her :)
Cheers,
Steve
"Gimpy" Cat pet portrait in Oils On Canvas 20 x 16
Steve commissioned me to paint this portrait for his wife as a surprise gift. Sadly Gimpy died during the portraits progress, they knew he didn't have long as he had cancer. Steve provided me with a photo of Gimpy that was very special to his wife and so I replicated the photo as an oil portrait. There were a few things that i amended, but it is pretty much exactly the same as the photo. Gimpy was sitting in a kitchen window sill and you can see the window has a silver panel across the center of the portrait. I really enjoyed this painting as it allowed me to paint other subject - tulips for instance that i wouldn't normally get to paint in a pet portrait!
Above is a close up detail of the pet portrait and the work in progress stages are below.
