Dog Portraits

My favorite subject to draw has always been animals. I have done several pet portraits, some for friends or family, others for comission. Here are two of my favorites.


This is a portrait of my sister's dog, Paige. She is a Weimaraner, a german hunting dog. Weimaraners point birds as well as retrieve them. Paige has gone chuckar hunting, but she never recieved any formal training and prefers to point cats. She is really just a sweet family dog. She is now fifteen years old.


This dog portrait was done on commission. He is a mixed-breed, and very cute! Both these portraits were done with graphite pencils on bristol paper, 8" x 10".
