Bear – toy poodle
I didn’t know this dog smiled until I painted him. I delivered this to the client, she gave the painting to her daughter and had me paint another one for her to keep.

This painting was a breakthrough piece for me. I began thinking I would paint Charlie in his native Marin Hills.

Cocker Spaniel – Charlie
Here is Charlie the cocker almost done.
She wrapped up a box of candy from TJ Maxx as though it were the gift for her diabetic brother-in-law and then gave him the painting of his dog. This pet portrait painting was a Christmas gift.

Dropping our boy at school each day, I often see Ann with her gorgeous Great Dane. I walk Rex, our McNabb. Finally one day we stopped to chat. read more…
Great Dane
another 6 inch by 6 inch portrait commission
Almost done. I want one more photo of this pooch so I can look at the color of his eyes. Isn’t he pretty? The owner says he’s like a super model; big and pretty but not too smart. What? I’m quoting. I have nothing against super models.

A dear friend arranged for Shannon to do a painting of my dog for my birthday and it’s the best gift ever. Shannon’s artistry is absolutely captivating. I don’t know how she managed to capture the heart and soul of my dog but she did. A friend who knows my dog was so impressed by the likeness that she had Shannon do portraits of her two dogs and loves them.
Robin MarksShannon captured the soul of our sweet Daisy. The eyes say it all! She is displayed with prominence where we get to see her adorable face everyday. Shannon was wonderful to work with. Her professionalism, timeliness and above all, her ability to capture the both the inner and outer likeness of our pet, exceeded our expectations. We will definitely ask her to complete portraits of our other pets.
