Pet Portrait

"Maize" was painted in oils. Here I'm showing the painting in 4 progressive stages.
Maize is the beloved pet of AJ, married to Brandon, who commissioned this portrait as a surprise gift for their Wedding Anniversary.


The finished oil painting is 8" x 10" on masonite board. I painted it using several photos of Maize as my reference. It was a treat to do and I fell in love with Maize in the process.
