2024 Trekell Pet Portrait Competition - First entry

It's time once again for Trekell's Annual Pet Portrait Competition and here is my first entry!  This competition requires artists to use a special shaped birch panel as the support and this time Trekell didn't make it easy!  After a lot of time searching through my photos and editing several of them, I found that my sheep, Muffin's, head fit nicely in this flower-like shape and decided to add a couple chicks on her head to fill the space at the top. 😁

Two painterly pet portraits

 Here are two separate commissioned pieces I finished in the last month.  The adorable little chicken is Blanche and her portrait is the fourth in my painterly chicken portrait series which I have now posted HERE.  Bandit the Husky's portrait was a birthday gift for his owner.  Both are done in acrylics on cotton paper.
