I recently completed a new Portrait of Love for Artist Knox, one of the sweetest guys you could ever meet. He adores his dog Bumpy Johnson. Don’t you love it when people give last names to their pets? If you ever need your dog groomed, he’s the best: http://www.artistgrooms.com/. He also has his own show on Animal Planet, “Beverly Hills Groomer”: http://animal.discovery.com/tv/beverly-hills-groomer/. It was so fun to paint his portrait — his spirit was so bright it just leapt into the painting and stayed.
I’ve discovered that I really enjoy painting animals and people together. It’s the love between them that interests me — how do I capture that? Each one is so different.
