Pastel Drawing or Painting of your pet

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Has anyone had a sketch (pencil or pastel) or a painting done of their cat?

I know there are people who will do an original artwork from a handful of photos.

I was just wondering - have any of you had one done, and, if so, were the results as good as expectd?

I have one. Not that I ordered one, but I was asked by a Japanese artist who saw Luna's website if it's okay to draw Luna.

Here's the result, it's quite good, isn't it? :)

Here's the link to the artist's website, check it out, he/she is very talented! http://homepage2.nifty.com/catsportrait/7th-floor.htm

I remember someone on Pettalk who does pet drawings. She is very good. I thought about having a drawing done of Edwina for my husband some day. But who was it????? Wolf_Q perhaps?

Does anyone remember???

Here's the link (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15698) to WolfQ's post in Marketplace about having your pets picture done. Thanks for reminding me about this since I was going to have it done also.

I think there were maybe one or two other posts in Marketplace that might have something to do with this, but I didn't read them and just quickly saw the titles when I was looking for this one.:D

Thanks everyone,

I'll check out Wolf_Q's website this evening.

BTW the sketch of Luna is great - that's the kind of thing I have in mind!

That picture of Luna is exsquisite! It makes me want to brush the cobwebs off of my own (dodgy) art skills and draw Pixel - the only trouble is, she won't sit still for more than five seconds! I think I will have to base it from a photograph!

We had one done of George from a photo...

George is adorable!!! Is he a boxer? I love boxers! They are the silliest and most adorable dogs!

George was a mastiff/lab mix. He passed to the RB last August from an allergic reaction to a bee sting. I had the drawing done for my boyfriend for Christmas after George died. :( But, I love how it came out...she did a great job.

He's beautiful nonetheless - that lovely drawing is a lovely memento to keep forever. That's so sad that he died from a bee sting - how awful for you. I am sure he is happy at the RB with all the lovely kitties to chase up trees!
