Pet portraits are always a lot of fun and Avenue was no exception. This is a small piece, created in mixed media, mainly watercolor and pastel, which, when matted and framed, measures 9 x 12 inches, suitable for display on a wall or shelf.

Of course, my photos are boring compared to his owner’s version, which accompanied her description: “Not unlike Rose from Titanic, Avenue had his portrait done. ‘Draw me like one of your French girls, Joan,’ he requested. And she did. LOVE it!”
