I was visiting a relative for this batch of pet paintings, here you can see a bit of my travel set up!
Timelapse of Painting Two Dogs
I was commissioned to paint these two cuties! They were really fun to paint due to their silly expressions. The customer wanted abstract background similar to some of my earlier paintings so I implimneted that in the two different colors.
These paintings were done in acrylic on 8x10 canvas. They are super cute!
