Don’s first dog portrait was a pencil and pastel portrait of his golden Tag, drawn not long after we lost him to cancer. Since then, he has painted and drawn many other dogs on commission or because an image speaks to him. Susan is a glass artist, bringing their ideas to life through sunlight and glass. We often have finished pieces for sale, or we are happy to discuss a commission with you.
Oil, Pastel, and Graphite Paintings
Don works in various mediums, including oil on canvas or hardboard, pastel, and graphite.
Custom Portraits in Glass
Susan’s medium of choice is glass, working from images of your dogs. She can also make small trophies for your events.
Artwork for Sale
Sometimes we create art for the joy of creating. We often offer those items for sale.
