One of my students brought a photo in of her dog at the beach and it had a water bowl and other detracting images in it so I simplified it and added a starfish instead of the bright red bowl that was in the photo.  She liked it very much.  I helped her paint her own version of the dog.  This one is for sale. If it reminds you of your dog and you love the beach, then perhaps you'll enjoy it on your wall at home or in the office!  You can also contact me at [email protected] for your own custom pet portrait!  Our furry family members bring us such joy!
