Okay so I am an artist (term used lightly haha) and I draw and paint. Normally I only do abstract paintings, and realistic pencil work, but mainly of architecture. My mother in law requested that I paint a picture of her dog..

Okay so normally, I would never paint a picture of a dog. I struggle with animals, and humans so much, that I really have ruled them out. But she asked for it for her birthday and she is so into dogs, that I made myself try. I actually am surprised how it came out. It looks like the Lion from The Wizard of Oz.. hahaha.. but thats sorta what he looks like!

Here is it:

    haha, you sound like my sister. One time a coworker of hers asked her to paint a portrait of this coworker's father-in-law. She doesn't really like to do work like that but does it well. So she did, and it looked great and the coworker was pleased, but had one more request: she asked if my sister would draw a thought bubble above his head with a picture of a tractor inside of it, because the father-in-law really liked tractors and was always thinking about them. lol! :D Luckily, my sister was able to convince her that a tractor thought bubble wouldn't fit in the picture...lol!

    Oh my god, that made my day! My mother in law asked for me to do this picture in 2.5 feet by 3 feet.. I was like.. OH HELL NO!!! I'm not doing some big poster sized dog! Its only 9in by 12in.. I has asked her for a picture for reference just because I haven't seen them in a long time, and I wanted to get the coloring right, and I kid you not.. she sent me 35 pictures.. 35!!!!! and none of them helped.. they were like 500 feet away, or the dog eating, looking down, ripping apart a stuffed animal.. I was like, oh god.. here we go!
