Another Portrait: Bodie and Bear Bear

Portrait of Bodie and Bear Bear

Meet Bodie and Bear Bear! This portrait is also a gift from a husband to wife—a wife who several years ago commissioned me to do a portrait for her husband! And ironically enough, she contacted me earlier this year about a portrait of these two dogs and decided to wait, so it will be a real surprise for her.

Read the rest of the story and notes about how I paint a portrait and specifically this one in Meet Bodie and Bear Bear, and the final details in Bodie and Bear Bear Are Ready to Go Home.

I typically have several commissioned portraits at this time of the year, and limited time to finish them especially if they need to ship to the customer.
