Here’s Maddie and her biped, Mitzi, unwrapping their new portrait!

Maddie: It's a gigantic ME! I'm a somewhat scared...
Awww, Maddie likes it! Or Mitzi has peanut butter on her chin.
Happy customer
Dear Aimee:
You are truly amazing! Words can not express the emotion that my husband and I feel looking at the portrait of Maddie. You completely captured her eyes which are the gateway to her wonderful soul and spirit. The photos of the painting don’t do it justice. It is much more beautiful and realistic in person!
From the initial drawing to the final painting your talents never cease to amaze. I could see that you captured Maddie’s eyes in your initial sketch. Since she is basically one color and I wondered how you would be able to make her look real or three dimensional…..and you were MORE than able to do that!
We will always cherish this gorgeous painting! I have and will continue to recommend you to everyone I know. You are a special talent and it is an honor to have one of your paintings in our home forever.
Best regards,
Mitzi
Tripple head tilt!
Doesn't get any better than this
(A big thank you to the mystery biped behind the camera for capturing these moments and sharing the unveiling with us. Nice work!)
The next contest…
I hope to hold the next contest some time in December. (The holidays are pretty hectic in the studio, so please excuse me for being deliberately non-commital.) In the meantime, why not read up on the contest rules so you’ll be all set to pounce when the contest date is announced. And since I’ll announce that date on twitter, make sure you’re following me (@dogarteest) so you’re in the loop.
And if you’re interested in having your own dog’s portrait painted, say, for Valentine’s Day, please take a stroll through my online gallery, aimeehoover.com and shoot me an email. I’d love to help you surprise someone you love with a portrait of someone they love.
Thanks as always for reading.
