Pet Portrait: Bayla
My older daughter is home from college, where she is majoring in graphic design. She was recently commissioned by a dog park friend to do a pet portrait of their 4-year old Bernese mountain dog, Bayla.
I keep encouraging my daughter to set up an Etsy shop for her artwork, but she's eighTEEN, with the emphasis on TEEN, meaning she doesn't always want to take old mom's direction. She enjoys drawing, but she's rather unmaterialistic, so making money is just not a big priority to her! Go figure! Other examples of her pet portraits are here and here.
The original photo of Bayla is below. I think my daughter did a fabulous job of capturing Bayla's sweet and playful demeanor.
P.S. If you know Bayla, please don't say anything to her owners--the portrait is a surprise for Christmas from Bayla's dad to Bayla's mom!
That is a wonderful picture. Please let me know if she ever does decide to do more!
WOW, that's BEAUTIFUL! She's got lots of talent!
That's amazing! She gets her artistic skills from her mama.
That picture is beautiful. She would have lots of clients in DWB land if she ever decided to go public.

Once again, gorgeous picture (and gorgeous dog). Honestly, your daughter could help pay for school doing pet portraits! They look so professional!
WOW!! That is absolutely stunning!So gorgeous; I'm sure Bayla's mom and dad will love it!
