Zeus & Chloie - Together Forever


Here are two best friends Chloie and Zeus who live in beautiful Key West Florida. Their parents (Brian & Jer) asked me to paint their portraits and I of coarse was delighted to do it. Brian's Dad made a lovely custom frame so that both of the paintings could be hung together (see photo below). Don't they look great together?

Roxy - custom commissioned painting


Roxy - Dog with wintery mountain landscape, painting by Tanya & Craig Amberson

"Roxy"
I finished this commission a couple months ago but waited till now to share it because it was a surprise wedding gift for the clients brother Jason and his fiancee Dana. As well as being dog lovers, the happy couple are avid skiers, so the client requested the snowy mountain scene in the background. I have since heard that the wedding was beautiful and that Jason and Dana loved the painting. I just love happy endings, although in this case I'd have to say it's a happy beginning.
