Henry and Friends

This is a custom pastel pet portrait I painted for a wonderful client and friend of mine.  She had a photo of the two cats on the left lying on her bed (Henry is the grey one) and separate photos of the other two.  Since the drawings for my paintings are drawn in charcoal by hand, I can combine elements to create a custom composition.  She asked that I place them in a wagon they like to lay in that has a red blanket, so I used another photo she supplied as a reference. I hope you enjoy viewing these progress images, and I would love to hear your thoughts!
