Duke 5, 30 Pet Portraits in 60 Days

Here is Duke, the yellow lab in all of his splendor. I painted a 9 x 12 inch acrylic likeness portrait of Duke. I used artistic license by making a red background. I love the way red makes the pale yellow "pop".

Painting a light colored coat has it's challenges blending the light and dark colors. I worked on showing the subtle shade differences in the coat and the skin folds in this Lab's body. You can see by the photo I referenced he's a very healthy boy.

Duke is available for sale at my website. I also make great practial products from the paintings at my Zazzle store.

I am accepting pet photo submissions. Information about the project and submitting your photos can be found here.
