Dog Portraits
by Jenn Lee on Dec.29, 2010, under Blog
My good friends Jason and Christy of Webfoo and PetResearch.net have the biggest hearts when it comes to animals of every kind. Their love for animals is shown not only by their support of animal shelters & services but shown in the knowledge every one of their dogs were rescues. When I first met their dogs, I learned the story behind each addition to their family. It brought tears to my eyes to hear the sad stories. One was near death on the roadside, another tortured by mean people, another owned by a breeding farm and mistreated/uncared for. These dogs were very lucky to have been given a second chance at life…the happiest life a dog could wish for, with these two wonderful people.
Recently I did a portrait of one of their dogs that had passed away…Rudy. I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting Rudy, but given the extremely unique personalities in each of their dogs, I can’t imagine Rudy didn’t have an equally fantastic personality of his own. He can be seen on my blog here. When Christy saw Rudy’s finished portrait, she had tears in her eyes. She had felt I had captured him perfectly. The feeling of satisfaction was priceless! After Rudy, they then asked me to paint their other dogs portraits, to which I was honored to fulfill.
Each portrait is painted on canvas’ of 100% recycled paper materials, 11×14 in size (standard frame) and painted with ECO friendly paints. I’d like to introduce you to…Hardy, Lois Lane, Buddy and Blue!

Jenn, you capture them so perfectly! I love each and every one of them and can’t wait to hang them up all together for everyone that comes into my house to see! You are truly talented and I love how you’ve captured the personality of all of my fur kids! Thank you!

As someone who knows each of these dogs, I can say without a doubt that your skills at capturing their personalities in portraits is second to none!
I also know someone who is more than pleased with the portrait you did of his best friend, and he is currently looking for vintage barn wood to make a custom frame for his pet portrait.
