Riggs celebrating Retirement of his mom

 

While at my first event for Old Main Cultural Center Gallery display I worked on a special gift for neighbor and friend Karen. As of Friday she's now retired and can be a stay at home mom for Riggs.

Here's some of the process for painting this pet portrait. I used my artistic license to eliminate the blanket behind Riggs to see a better outline of his body and less details in the background to make for a simpler composition.

Below initial photo and photos at about every fifteen minutes as each phase is done.









Plus a few details added in studio. I like how my palette also changes with each phase.


Will work on another painting coming up on Saturday, April 12. I'll be there 6:30 until 8:30 pm
