Sadie

This is a post about my latest commission, Sadie. As you can see, Sadie is an adorable, much loved little poodle, and my acrylic painting was ordered for an anniversary gift.

I got 4 really tiny camera phone pictures, and was asked to do an 8x10 painting. Now, I greatly appreciate any business, but please, if you're going to send pictures for me to do a portrait from, try to have at least one good quality picture. I can sometimes work from tiny pictures like these, but it makes my job a whole lot harder. 
 This last one (Directly below) is the one that was requested for the actual painting. Wonderful, considering it's the smallest and most blurry of all the pictures right? Not exactly, but don't get me wrong. Sadie is an adorable dog and I enjoyed painting her. Even if the result wasn't able to be a super detailed painting.
